I waited 14 years to watch this movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2013)

Okay, I didn't get to watch this movie from start to finish until 2013. Fight Club is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk. It is a about a man named Jack (Edward Norton) who is stuck in a depressed state. He is unhappy with his job so he tries to delve himself into creating the perfect apartment, when this doesn't fill the gap he goes to support groups for people with terminal diseases hoping he will find fulfilment there. While at these support groups he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) who he later takes an interest in. On Jack's journey to fulfilment he crosses paths with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Tyler believes in fulfilment though loss and pain and he and Jack fight. This leads to an underground group called the Fight Club and a journey of fighting and violence embarks from there.
Fight Club is a dark comedy which was directed by David Fincher who had also directed Seven, which Brad Pitt had previously acted in. Fight Club portrays controversy and diverse degrees of masculinity and extremism including terrorism. I didn't wait so long to watch it on purpose, life just worked out that way. Fight club is certainly one of my favourite movies now and I finally understand all the fight club references that are used by others in daily life. Brilliant movie, I highly recommend to those who feel stuck in a rut.
