I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreOne of the best movies every made. They need to make more like this
... View MoreThe movie has arguably the highest density of best one-liners ever. Lines so great that a each one of them deserves a movie of its own. The film without spelling out touches so many nerves ranging from loneliness, capitalism, collapse of society behind the sham of sauvity. It changes viewers perception in matterfo hours and leaves you breathless. Whatever is polished is raw and whatever is raw around is polished (natural, organic).Even if one put aside the ending - which ranks amongst the best in the history of the cinema - this movie is so gripping, so thrilling, so captivating, so psychologically violent that it feels an experience and not just a movie. This is not a movie. It is a cult and I am avid follower. My highest recommendation.
... View MoreI am forever mesmerized by the sheer complexity of this movie, as it touches subjects far deeper than what first meets the eye. It's about the frustration we men carry inside of us, a frustration that is rarely discussed in society. In a world where there is no real end goal masculinity wise, the characters in this movie creates purposes for themselves through companionship, but somehow they all are still lost. Edvard Norton is incredible, but the limelight here is stolen by Brad Pitt, who does his best performance of his career.This movie has meant a lot to me growing up. If you still haven't seen this masterpiece, you're in for a treat - it might just change your perspective of life.
... View MoreAs my movie-buff persona started growing, I decided to find out what movies were everyone's favorites. I looked at IMDb's top 250 and I was familiar and unfamiliar with some of the films on that list. I decided to watch some of the films on that list and I wanted to watch Fight Club first because it just attracted me in ways I can't explain. Watching Fight Club was an amazing and great experience. The movie is about 2 hours and 30 minutes long, but for me, it actually felt like the whole film was an hour and a half long! One of the many great things about Fight Club are the acting. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt have oscar worthy performances in this film, and they are very different and unique characters. Helena Bonham Carter has very good acting in this film as well, and her and Brad Pitt are the funniest things in this movie. This film is probably one of the best dark comedies ever. The camera work in this film is outstanding. The zooms, the wide angle shots, and every frame in this film is beautiful. The ideas that Brad Pitt's character expresses are very thought provoking, and proves that this film has the style and the substance as well. The soundtrack is very catchy and the editing is also praise worthy. The twist (that I won't spoil) is also executed in such a creative way, it is one of the best parts of this film and it gives this movie rewatchability. I showed this film to one of my family members, and she said that the film was satisfying. I actually 100% agree with her because all of the lines that are said and the things that happen in this film all add up and gives out the sense of satisfaction. Fight Club is one of David Fincher's best films, and it is probably one of my top 5 favorite films of all time.
