UGH!!!

Rating: 4/10 (6 June 2000)

It seems as if this film was intended to be an intelligent film about our culture, but what it turns out to be is a mismash of guys beating each other.
This film is far from entertainment, its more of punishment. Not because of the violence, but because of how absolutely STUPID it is. I caught on to what little philosophy and plot it had, and I found nothing of interest.
They are trying to change society by making the people understand what their idea of society is, but what they (Pitt and Norton) dont realize is that maybe some people dont want to be changed, maybe the people actually like their life, even though their little Fight Club doesnt like it.
Why must people always try to change others. People live their life the want to, maybe their not movie stars, but who really wants to be a movie star, it doesnt sound like fun to be on magazines and people taking pictures of you in your own private household. I think Fight Club missed this. It missed that not everyones the same, people are different. This is what keeps society going.
This film is so full of ego's that its just sickening. As if anyone really wants to watch two men beat each other to death. This is not fun to watch. Violence can be handled in the right way in such films as Taxi Driver, A Clockwork Orange, or Schindlers List. But Fight Club as none of the qualities of these masterpieces. Its all about two big stars beating each other and less about society.
2/10
