Fight Club (DVD, 2002, Single Disc; Sensormatic)

FIGHT CLUB has always been one of of favorite films, since the day it was released. For some individuals, the movie may be hard to follow, as we have been told. Are you familiar with Jekyll & Hyde-type personalities?? Its a GREAT MOVIE about a person with multiple personalities that one day, just decides to unknowingly make "the" change, and show the world his true opposite. The movie offers A LOT of GREAT ACTION, and GREAT PERFORMANCES by Ed Norton and Brad Pitt. We consider FIGHT CLUB to be one of Brad Pitts Best Performances!!

VERY FUNNY, Entertaining, Thought-Provoking, and will keep your interest from beginning to end!!

You may need to watch the movie 5-10 times to see all of the action "blips", that you may not see the first couple times of viewing.

I think that most people miss the point on this movie. Yes, it is a great action film with great fight scenes. Yes, Brad Pitt is a really good bad guy. Yes, The music is great. Yes, the apocalyptic regime known as "Project Mayhem" is led by an anarchistic genius.

The point of this movie is that we as a society have grown so accustomed to being a part of the big picture that we forget to be individuals. Yeah, yeah; I am too analytical; whatever!

"Generation X" followed the "ME Generation" and was followed by the "Why Generation". I am a member of Gen-X and I know that Gen-X was and is lost in mediocrity. This film will ring true always because of one simple fact; most people are sheep. Even the people who join the fight clubs and "Project Mayhem" are following someone else's lead. Don't you see it. Don't you understand the glaring, screaming point of this film - that most of us are just cogs in a big machine; but we can break away.

I love this movie. I love the action. I love the dialogue, the acting, the direction, the editing, the music... But what I really love is the underlying truth that is layered throughout the film and brought to the surface without any pomp and circumstance. We are all desperate for something more, something to be a part of, something that will make us feel (pain, hate, love, anger, rage, emotions of every scale).

This is a great film in every way, and Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham-Carter deserved, at the very least Oscar nods, but the film was too controversial, to gratuitously violent and destructive. The supporting cast, including a then unknown Jared Leto, Meatloaf (yeah, the singer) who shines, and several other familiar faces, was phenomenal. As a hollywood blockbuster, this film had it all.

But, more importantly it had something deeper. You can disagree with me if you are not the "artsy-fartsy" type (like me), but the truth remains the same, this film had a point, made the point and took no prisoners along the way.

So, live a little, and watch this movie. Then go out and make something of yourself. Even if you don't get to beat the crap out of someone for fun.

Fight Club is not just a cult classic or an offbeat thriller movie, I would go far as to call it a masterpiece. Coming from a great source, that source being Fight Club the book written by Chuck Palahniuk. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton delivers amazing performances. Norton has already proved that he is very versatile in American History X and other films. The director David Fincher really knows how to do it. Very creative way of structuring the story and laying out events. The narrator has you laughing in the parts you know you shouldnt laugh in, but it's funny anyway.

If you're like I was and haven't seen this yet, do so. Also, if you're like I was and didn't know the plot twist, READ NOTHING about this movie before seeing it and don't let anyone tell you. The plot twist is such that the next time you see the film, it is completely different. I was lucky: I got to see it as it would've been in its first run in the theater--no spoilers, complete innocent.
Having said that, it was also a pleasure to see that it wasn't all guys bonding over fist fights. The fighting is almost secondary to the main plot drives, but since it didn't give anything away, that's all you ever saw in the trailers during its first run.
If you do know the plot twist, I still recommend this for its anarchistic black humor and great performances. Brad Pitt sure but Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter are superb also. Dark dark dark, but fun fun fun. Yeah, even from a woman's point of view (but admittedly not a girly glitter pink fluff sort of woman).

*****ZERO STARS*****What a ridiculous bunch of NONSENSE pretending to be an important social movement by the two lead characters. These idiots have nothing else to do but beat each other up. HELLO!!!!IS ANYBODY HOME????? Want to do something meaningful? Start a soup kitchen or clean up the home or yards of some elderly citizen. But no - these morons beat each other to a pulp and actually come up reasons why it's a valid - and even righteous thing to do. GET A LIFE!!!!!!! The woman that comes between them a chain smoking trashy (Bonham Carter)is such a pig in this movie - TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Waste of three talented actors. If you are guessing that I hated this movie - you are RIGHT! This emperor has NO CLOTHES.
