is this possible?

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 1999)

wow. wow. wow. you'll have to see this at least 3 times. everything about this movie is right and it's about everything that is wrong. only a few months earlier would have been a more potent time to release it (it was originally scheduled for summer release but pushed back when people started killing each other in public)
David Fincher is a god. His movies so far have been very enjoyable and powerful. They each engulf you and don't let go of you but none of them have come close to touching the complete immaculate piece of brutal art that fight club is. There is so much energy here; a sense of chaos,disillusionment, and permanence that this film will leave in you. It's a shame that this film is already nearly gone from theaters. There are so many moments that should be considered immortal classics of film. Hopefully video will be able to capture this.
Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Meat Loaf are all perfect in their respective starring roles. This film is also a trap. It toys with all your emotions, pushes your softspots and forces you to deal with the issues involved- and not just those on the surface. It's easy to understand Durden's disgust at the mainstream culture- the commercialization of everything, the ugly standards of beauty, the pre-planned go-nowhere futures, self-serving friends and acquantices,the social-darwinism that weeds out our meek weak and unwanted-that don't fit the stereotypes, corruption and destruction of just about the only things that are sacred. and it's even easy to feel the emasculating power of just feeling something-physically. and it's easy to understand how he takes it too far- how it goes to the furthest extreme. and as long as you're paying attention, the part of your mind that most needs this movie- the subconscious, will get it and proceed accordingly. what do you feel about this as a man? as a woman? what does your anima think? animus? how about the collective? why are there no women to protect these men? how do you really feel about everything that's been happening lately? how do you (as a man/woman) really feel about the bonding these men share (homoeroticisms, etc.)?
I am Jack's complete stupification
the icing on the cake is the awesome soundtrack by the dust brothers that compliments the movie superbly.
even if your not paying as much attention as you should, the end will justify all means. it is classic and it leaves you exactly where you started which was the point of project:mayhem, wasn't it?
