Beaten up by a movie

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2000)

I got a pretty simple rating system for a good/bad movie. A bad movies doesn't stay in my head, it just dissolves away without notice. Few movies stays in my brain for good, they got their own real estate, without asking me that is.
Fight Club is such movie, that sneaked in, grabbing real estate. I knew nothing about the movie, other than my friends told me it was a 90' classic. Already in the beginning, this movie made me focus on it. Like I was going down a alley, and this man jumps out in front of me with a knife asking me; "what do you want to do?". I was in such constant state throughout the movie.
Yes it's a very violent movie, with lots of gore, but this violence isn't there just for "fun", it's there because it plays a very important role. A movie like this without this violence wouldn't be any good, it wouldn't made anyone think. The movie is to make you think, that's what happened to me.
