Fight Club


Fight Club


In this movie Edward Norton is the narrator who suffers from a lack of sleep. He tries different ways to cure this, but he does not succeed. He does get some sleep, but his conditions rebounds back into it's original state when he meets a lovely young woman, whose name is Marla. He finds out that she and he both have a lot in common and they spend a lot of time together. While touring, he meets an enigmatic young man named Tyler and after a short conversation both become fast friends. Both like to relieve their inner tensions by hitting each other. Soon word gets around about their fights, and lots of young people also get interested. Then a club is formed, which the narrator and Tyler call 'Fight Club'. Both start spending a lot of time and both also make lots of money. Then one day the narrator finds out that Tyler has been using him. You must really watch this movie and find out why the narrator feels this way about his friend, Tyler.

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time," says the Narrator played by two-time Oscar Nominee Edward Norton. If your life ends without watching this, then your life. I'm sorry to say, will be unfulfilled.

Edward Norton and Brad Pitt had great chemistry and Norton playing a man at a white-collar job looking for fun was something legends are made of. Brad Pitt was a nice fighter and had many memorable scenes. He was also perfect as kind of the wacko guy, who you aren't sure what he will do next until it happens. If they ever do another film together, count me in.

Although Fight Club got recognition for its special effects, which I don't necessarily agree with, I thought the make-up was perfect. The blood was almost as realistic as in Dawn of the Dead (2004), or Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfourtunate Events (2004), which won the Oscar.

I also liked David Fincher's directing style, his camera movements and his use of the camera's effects were nothing short of perfection. I also liked in the end his flashbacks, they were neccesary and entertaining.

I did have one problem with this movie though. I had a minor problem with the ending, the effects on the buildings were laughable. It also threw science out the window abit. The story and other things more than made up for it.

Rating:
, Brad Pitt movies don't get any better then this, that I have seen
