A dark, twisted ride through the human brain.

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2004)

Fight Club is one of the greatest contemporary films ever, directed by one of the great contemporary directors of our time. (David Fincher). Based on the Chuck Palahniuk book of the same title, it is a coming of age story for people who are still coming of age in their thirty's. Our main character, who i will refer to as narrator (Norton), is a man on the edge of sanity. His job carries him all over the world, and because of it he cannot sleep. His airport to hotel lifestyle brings many new friends, including one special one. Tyler Durden (Pitt), is a sick, delinquent free-spirit who is just full of meaningful quotes and useful information. Their relashonship grows, and Tyler's influence over the narrator becomes powerful. Together they start FIGHT CLUB, an underground bare-knuckle boxing arena where blue-collar slaves may come and truly live. Their journey together goes through making soap, grand-scale vandalism, chemical burns, and city blocks reduced to rubble. As the narrator discovers more about himself, he discovers the secret about Tyler. The twist in fight club will send you into whiplash, then make you rethink the entire movie, and its meaning. It is the only movie in my collection that i can watch again and again and every time discover more about the characters, and more about my own life. I have used the movie as a source for many of my college essays, that's how impactful it is. Fight Club will stand the test of time as one of the greatest contemporary films ever.
