An original movie that provokes us to think differently and repress our materialistic desires

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2006)

Fight Club is a borderline nihilistic story that depicts the tale of a blue-collared office worker, whom serves as our nameless narrator, that eventually seeks out the camaraderie of support groups in order to help ease his insomnia. On a plane for business, the narrator meets Tyler Durden, a man as interesting as he is revolutionary in his thought processes. Tyler offers him his business card and whenever the narrator's apartment burned down that he had so diligently worked for, he takes refuge in Tyler's dilapidated house. The two quickly become good friends, as they unexpectedly create an underground organization called Fight Club that spreads like wildfire across the nation, ultimately serving as a haven for repressed men to expel their bounded stress (which, in turn, replaces the narrator's first need for the support groups). The organization transforms into a faction that eventually terrorizes the free world for their materialistic values, and the narrator loses all sense of control as he comes to find out himself and his beliefs.
