Fight Club is one of the most underrated movies, unfortunately. Maybe because of the title, people thinks a mindless action film. Those people are wrong! This film is a teaching experience for people... Read more
. Perhaps because this film dares to be different, and brave enough not to stick to the golden rules of Hollywood film making. It encapsulates a mode of thought which exists amongst a number of individuals to whom society and global economics are forces in their lives. This is not to say that this is the consistent conclusions amongst people who are disaffected with globalisation, but the type of imaginative creatures who are not lured by the consumerist dream. This movie is seen as unreal is a testament to the level of engagement one can have with the film. The story is told and strung together in a way that I have never seen done before. It is viewed as a piece of art in which disbelief must be suspended. The movie tackles many issues pertinent to today. It talks of the modern consumerist nature of our times, where people are exposed to buy products which are seemingly essential, but far too luxurious to be warranted as part of a survival kit. It delves into one's desire to be honest to themselves about the desire itself. It toys throughout on what the true message of the film is. The main message of the film is making a statement about sociological and propaganda effects when one has a powerful tool to influence people. Be honest and resolve your inner conflicts. If society tries to reduce a person to a simple consumer, aimlessly following trends, a person will inevitably lash out. Everyone's performances are superb, especially Brad Pitt, an epitome of what one wants to be. What a cool performance! I hope this movie will be seen as a possible historical definition of the modern times we live in.Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.
A ticking-time bomb insomniac (Edward Norton) and a slippery soap salesman (Brad Pitt) channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until a sensuous eccentric (Helena Bonham Carter) gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion. The New York Times raved that FIGHT CLUB "just might require another viewing". Here's your chance. Brace yourself.
