De-evolves into a psychological thriller.

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2014)

*Spoiler/plot- Fight Club. 1999. A jittery, on-edge frustrated insomniac and a clever soap salesman join together to channel their primal male aggression into a shocking new form of self imposed sick aggression therapy. Their weekly session concept catches on with underground male "fight clubs" forming in every town, until an another sick eccentric woman gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion for the males.
*Special Stars- Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helen Bonham Cater.
*Theme- Mental illness should not be taken lightly. Get professional help at all times.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Helena Bonham Carter wore platform shoes to help close up the disparity in height between her and Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. When the 'Narrator' hits Tyler Durden in the ear, Edward Norton actually did hit Brad Pitt in the ear. He was originally going to fake hit him, but before the scene, David Fincher pulled Norton aside and told him to hit him in the ear. After Norton hit him in the scene, you can see him smiling and laughing while Pitt is in pain. Author Chuck Palahniuk first came up with the idea for the novel after being beaten up on a camping trip when he complained to some nearby campers about the noise of their radio. When he returned to work, he was fascinated to find that nobody would mention or acknowledge his injuries, instead saying such commonplace things as "How was your weekend?" Palahniuk concluded that the reason people reacted this way was because if they asked him what had happened, a degree of personal interaction would be necessary, and his workmates simply didn't care enough to connect with him on a personal level. It was his fascination with this societal 'blocking' which became the foundation for the novel.
*Emotion- This film has a deceivingly simple plot in the very beginning, but de-evolves into a psychological thriller of inner depth as it progresses. Well worth seeing for it's intricacies. This film was marketed wrongly as a one dimensional guy film of fist, yelling, and toilet humor.
*Based on- popular novel.
