Fight Club.....when it was initially released in 1999 it was a box office failure but today it is recognised as a cult film...the film is a black comedy which deals with multiple themes like....consumerism...anarchy....impact of pop culture on the sub conscious of the intellectual..attack against a set way of life et al....after the release of this film many underground fight clubs came into focus...the narrator/central protaganist is unnamed thru out the movie....the movie is taken from the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahnuik....
the story is about the narrator who is suffering from insomnia and goes thru life on a cruise control mode....he meets marla who he discovers is attending support groups for no reasons whatsoever...singer Meatloaf looks really intimidating even if its a small role...the narrator is infact fed up of his dead end job.....along the way he meets a guy named tyler durden who calls himself a soap salesman...their first physical exchange is grippingly shot....tyler tells the narrator that he is into fight clubs where candidates are chosen after thorough evaluation by tyler himself......the fight clubs themselves have rules which have to be followed and cannot be broken on any account...the fight clubs gather steam and develops into a phenomenon,,which gradually leads to pandemonium where property is vandalised,people are assaulted....at the same time tyler has a torrid affair with marla....after watching this movie the dialogues will remain etched in our minds like" If you wake up at a different time in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? ,"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything ","You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world ". the movie begins and ends with same scene,,i first saw this movie in college latenight around 1 a.m or so..acting is simply fantastic..
fincher outshines the work he did for se7en...brad pitt and edward norton share excellent chemistry...the twist in the plot will simply blow u away,especially when the narrator realises the truth about tyler...even though there are scenes of gore the movie is not that violent in my opinion...the fights are simply out of this world..right up there with raging bull...especially when edward bashes up a member mercilessly...the movie is disturbing in certain aspects..i especially loved when the hooligans go out of control and the drama that ensues...even helena bonham carter looks really alluring to the eyes :-)....this is one club everyone should visit atleast thru the medium of cinema :-)
