Fight Club

Not in the course, but David Finchers' "Fight Club" is one of my favourite films, if not my number one favorite film of all time. I think the film is utter genius, and it has two of my favourite actors in it, Edward Norton, and Brad Pitt. If you haven't seen Fight Club, please make sure you do see it. It has one of the greatest twists ever, the humour in it is great, everyone acts perfectly, and just the idea of Fight Club is amazing. I feel really cool when I watch this film, and sometimes want to take Tyler Durdens advice and get rid of my possessions, start a Fight Club, and cause Mayhem.

"Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler"

Did I say it's amazingly clever? There are so many little clever things, and big clever things, it's just amazingly clever! Go here to read some of the awesomely cool and clever things in the movie.

I think the storyline is one of the best, and I don't think the film got the recognition it deserved. The film, the actors, the crew, everyone who worked on or in this film deserves Oscars.

I've changed my mind, don't just see this film, buy it, live it even! It's just so good!

Best scenes in the movie-

Possibly the greatest movie ever.


"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden
