The thinking man's self-gratification

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2001)

This film offers very little to the thinking man, it asks nothing that hasn't already been asked, it portrays nothing that hasn't already been imagined and provokes nothing that hasn't already been cogitated. It's Jack's complete sense of the self-indulgence. That said, even the thinking man enjoys a bit of self-indulgence. And this is the greatest and most enjoyable example of a cognitive narcissism since Nietzsche. Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits. Fight Club is a black comedy, a social satire and a clear statement appertaining to the pointlessness of your existence. So what if nihilism suffers from the cognitivity paradox, Pyrrhonism doesn't! So embrace epistemological scepticism, suspend judgement and allow Fight Club to help you reach Ataraxia.
This film is better than sex!!! Well that is unless you're stupid.
