Prepare your mind...

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2014)

I lost my virginity to this film... no, it's not what you're thinking, I mean my mind virginity... if there is such a thing... allow me to explain: If you're a twelve year old boy who's only contact with movies are the cheesy Disney flicks or the brainless action/comedy films coming from Hollywood, then to see "fight club" is like being turned to pieces and reassemble from scratch; nothing was the same, this was one of those game-changing movies for me. But, what is it about Fight Club that makes it unique? In one word: EVERYTHING. The plot is revolutionary (no pun intended), because it starts as a meditation on alienation and loneliness and evolves into a political commentary on today's society. The atmosphere that David Fincher builds is one of a world falling to pieces, just like the central character: dark, gritty, nihilistic... the performances are outstanding, specially that of Brad Pitt, who plays the guy we all want to be at some point: anarchic and free in all the ways possible. In short, a movie that dares to go where few film dare: to the heart of darkness of postmodern society...
