Fight Club (1999)

"The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. The 2nd rule of Fight Club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB."Too bad!This movie, which was critically panned(it received 2 stars from Roger Ebert), really struck interest in me, which grew as the movie went on. It reminded me a lot of American Beauty, which won Best Picture for that year. I actually slightly prefer this. The movie is about 2 men who are tired of their jobs, so they start a club where all you do is beat each other up for as long as you want. And you can't spread the word about the club. The plot is one of many things that make the movie stand out. It's shocking ending blew me away, after I pondered it for a few minutes.Fight Club is one of my favorite movies and it is a definite movie to check out. And please talk about Fight Club, it's worth it!

I am forever mesmerized by the sheer complexity of this movie, as it touches subjects far deeper than what first meets the eye. It's about the frustration we men carry inside of us, a frustration that is rarely discussed in society. In a world where there is no real end goal masculinity wise, the characters in this movie creates purposes for themselves through companionship, but somehow they all are still lost. Edvard Norton is incredible, but the limelight here is stolen by Brad Pitt, who does his best performance of his career.This movie has meant a lot to me growing up. If you still haven't seen this masterpiece, you're in for a treat - it might just change your perspective of life.

Fight Club is perhaps David Fincher's most famous work. Why is it so popular? Of course the anarchist in your face plot and the anti-hero's cool demeanor make this a hugely popular film, especially among young disillusioned men. The film itself is brilliantly paced, reeking of humor and brilliantly shot. The acting is top notch. Ed Norton is relatable as the narrator and Brad Pitt shows why he was so popular back in the 90s- he owns the scenes. Ladies get a strong character in Helena Bonham Carter's Marla Singer, though quirky and psychotic. But then everyone is that way to some extent in this stylish film. One of Fincher's best and that's a tough call to make.

Man after this film me and my friends started a fight club LOL. We were young and dumb. But this was one of my first films that I really fell in love with. As the story was so crazy, what was going on in the story was so amazing. Later on I found out the little tricks they put in the camera. From little still frames of Brad Pits character. It was a game changer for the cinematography industry, I think it was a time when it really changed how people like me started viewing films.
