I know by writing this review I am violating the first and second rule of fight club, but what
the hell. First of all I must say that this is a must see film. It's totally different then other
movies. If you miss seeing it on cinema go and get its VCD or something. The movie was directed
by David Fincher (the one who directed se7ev... I think). Base on Chuck Palahniuk novel (I
think... not very sure). Its cast are Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden, Edward Norton as the Narrator,
Helena Bonham as Marla Singer Meat Loaf as Robert Paulson.
Before I watch this I thought that this was going to be some fighting movie like 'The Best of the
Best' or 'The Quest' but I was dead wrong. This movie takes you on a rollercoster ride in
someone's mind (Jack the Narrator). What makes it different is that, most movies shows you what
the character sees not what is actually in his mind. The whole view of the story is from inside
his mind, his imagination, and his thought, which I think its cool. Oh yeah the fighting scene
is pretty cool to. This is what you would call real fighting, no fancy kung fu stuff. Street
fighting stuff.
Some says that this movie is nothing but violent. Men beating each other up. But there is a
message in the story. The violent is just to spice up the movie. Besides did you watch discovery
channel, the one about headhunters? I just saw some tribes shrinking a head, which is grosser
huh? Back to Fight Club the violent is nothing. The message is something though. I think to me
what is it try to say is that all the thing that we thought is important is actually not, thinks
like money, trying to look good every time, etc. etc. To sum up the film in three words are
mischief, mayhem and soap. You will never see another movie like this one, unless you watch it
twice.
Here is a quote from the movies:
"Its only after you lost everything...
that you are free to do anything"
