Fight Club is a visual masterpiece showing the shocking liberation of a consumer drone.

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2007)

I know that a lot of people see this movie as some macho guy movie Just looking at the surface, which I almost did myself, but this movie is much more. This movie is about anti-consumerism in the way of fighting against being human drones manipulated by corporate commercials. The style and mood of Fight Club make it a masterpiece, something unique without being pretentious. The genius of this movie is how it crafted the seeming nerdy Edward Norton matched with the edgy Brad Pitt and toss in a big case of schizophrenia. OK This is not totally a new premise Psycho, A Beautiful Mind, American Psycho to name a few but this movie takes this story to bazaar journey into the mind of a man who feels like he is just consumer zombie. The fight scenes are a little off-putting and unconventional but this is a symbolic way of showing if you got hit in the face that aggressive action would really allow you to fully understand living. Fear is the motivating factor in this movie in how you deal with it and over coming also displayed in another good movie Defending your Life. Watching Fight Club give me hope for Hollywood movies in saying something deep and not have to always result to finding stuff like this in foreign movies or movies copied from foreign movies.
