OH MY GOD!!!

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 1999)

Please see this film. If only one or two films are worth seeing this year, see this and "American Beauty". First rule off fight club is don't talk about fight club, so I will not. I will say however this is the best use of violence in an anti violence film I have seen. The characters are drawn with such depth that I found myself wanting to speak to them as if they existed asking why were they doing this. Brad Pitt once again proves he is more than a pretty face with his demented portrayal of "Tyler Durden", cool and repulsive all at once. Edward Norton is the everyday man trapped in a daily existence of waking up, or not waking up, and going to the same kick in the balls job every day, and wondering if the corn blue table lamp goes with his sofa. This corporate world is flooded with light that gives it the fake look that it is, and Norton finds solice in the dark real world of the fight club. Two men, no guns just beating the hell out each other, removing the pains of a world brought on by society that will not let men be real men. As the club grows so do the fights and homework follows with deadly results. Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? You decide.
