From Cookie Dough into Carved out Wood

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2009)

WOW! - An instant CLASSIC! I may as well stop here; I highly recommend going to watch this movie especially before reading any further or anything about it from anyone.
This is a story about Tyler Durden, he looks like we want to look, acts like we want to act, and says what we want to say. He is sexy, smart and strong. He is what all men want to be, carefree and living in the moment without worry of what happens next and the balls to do anything he has ever wanted to do.
This unique story for the movie revolves around the notion that we are living for consumer products, and those products are ending up owning us instead of the other way around. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton play incredible roles in this movie that has changed the way we view cinematic movies. This is no pretty boy Brad Pitt either; it is merely another amazing job as an actor that he has done in over a decade. David Fincher did an excellent job in directing and brings us through the lead characters highs and lows and the ability to truly feel empathy for him.
After viewing this movie it quickly became in my top movies, and several years later I still enjoy it as the first day that I saw it which assures me it is 1 of my favourites in the past decade. It is smart, insightful, and not only touches on the social economics of humanities own discrepancies but shows us how psychologically tender and lost our minds can truly be.
If you have a fragile cookie dough view of the world, watch this movie and you'll come out carved out of wood and see some of what is wrong with this world today.
