Eternal values in Fight Club film

By Jenifer Byrne


We could have watched Fight Club for the very first time in 1999. Even nowadays people are familiar with this line: "First rule of the Fight Club is... you do not talk about Fight Club". We know also what is the meaning of soap, and it's for the reason that the movie is classic. How many of last year releases do we still are able to recall? This movie is piece of movie art and we are now heading to learn why.

Values that delivers this movie are ageless and valid now, and perhaps for a long time. What is the reason? It might be due to the fact of the playing there actors. Incredibly sharp-looking Brad Pitt. Admired by girls and men. His particular role development of Tyler Durden was excellent. A part from that, he previously had plenty different excellent roles on his account. We can't overlook about movie narrator played by Edward Norton, outstanding actor that is able to (with ease) play romantic sweetheart as well as harsh and nasty character. The only female leading role was played by Helena Bonham Carter. Helena performed the part of quirky gal, and she have done that so amazing, that Marla Singer (performed by Helena) refined into some sort of adored by her fans seductress.

We cannot evaluate high-quality of the movie by its cast though. It is better not to judge a book by its cover. I have seen plenty movies that were recognized merely because the actors, not the story-line What is so extraordinary about this movie? This movie exhibits problems of our society - it is why it is an outstanding movie. We buy far too much. We are addicted to it. We buy things we don't need, just to block the hole of isolation... to feel better for a few moments. We are always in rush. Earning and losing minute by catching earlier bus or train. We don't realize that our existence is here and right now. What we do have to understand is that, we can't slow down or fast forward time. We need to live life. We play the game in the huge society created by the media and commercials. We are impacted by corporations to wear what they want us to. Even our behaviours are determined by them - they tell us what is good what is bad. That is the lesson I have learned from this film . Tyler might not be the illustration of a good citizen but in some way everyone want to be just like him, to have his independence.

Why Fight Club? Why would this movie was named this way. It is because of the club where the members could fight. The narrator started it to change his life. After seeing that movie you will notice you want to fight a person. The funny part is you won't really feel awful about it.You can find a meaning in it. Deeply inside people are still predators. We are pushed by identical impulses. We are different just because we are more intelligent. Just this. The fight is the easiest way for man to put aside the fears of every day life. There are survival behaviours engaged. The world seem to be different when the fight is finished. You feel new and free. Despite the fact we are limited by public behaviours and law rules it is really hard to feel free. Just what sort of freedom is this? By applying the film's conclusions that come up on mind you may partially get some freedom by being aware - not by going around and fight naturally.

One of the most noticeable symbol of this movie - Fight Club soap. Soap has a meaning in this movie. It is not in the movie without a reason. If we think about it we will see big paradox in the process of soap making and reselling soap. Durden was making soap making use of human fat. Fat he's taken out of liposuction "provider". He would sell the soap to fancy shops. Thus the exact same women paid out cash to get rid of fat, just to get it back again from the shop, in the soap bar form.

This movie is at few moments harsh and bloody but entertaining and clever. Nobody will declare though that the movie is terrible because it's good. Good actors, well composed scenario and great entertainment. This movie can be watched a lot of times and still be entertaining. Great film need to present a lesson or an alert for a viewer. This movie has both evenly, in fact lots of these - lessons and warnings for viewers.
