Fight Club stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Jared Leto in a thrilling picture about male aggression and the conformance of society.
Norton plays "The Narrator" who is sick and tired of his cubicle, IKEA, khaki, hum drum life. He is an insomniac and cannot sleep, so he is going to support groups for people that are dying. He runs into Marla Singer (Bonham-Carter) who is tainting his experiences with these folks that are so close to death - Norton wants to feel sincerity from the people in the support group in order to be well placed to cry and to sleep. Inevitably, the two split the support groups for Norton to feel the honesty.
Norton's life is thrown for a loop when he meets Tyler Durden (Pitt), a soap manufacturer and Norton's opposite, outside of a bar. Ironically, Norton's designer apartment burns down that same night and he moves in with Durden where they start their own fight club when their spontaneous rough housing becomes a ritual. This pulls more fans who want to join because they, like Norton, are also annoyed with their lives.
The Fight Club turns into representative of anarchy with Durden as the leader. They intend to take over the town and Norton begins to lose control.
SPOILER ALERT!
Norton comes to find that Durden is his alternative personality - he will not beat Durden as he already knows what Norton is thinking before it happens (since he's a part of his psyche). Before anarchy erupts, Norton must discover a way to conquer Durden (and the followers) and keep loads of people from being hurt.
Critique of Fight Club
This motion picture isn't just enjoyable for men to watch, but also for ladies. It's a great film psychologically with great actors and great casting. It is unquestionably a underground classic and questions conformity and how far we are prepared to go to defeat it (to find that we are conforming at the end). It was made in 1999 (a superb time considering the beginning of the millenium).
Fight Club is a great picture if you are hunting for a upbeat action flick but with substance.
