5 out of 5 stars The most intelligent movie ever made! Seriously.   October 27, 2008
Incommunicado (USA)
I RARELY watch the same movie twice... so of course I wouldn't go to the same movie twice in the theatre. I did for Fight Club. 2 times in the theatre, every time it's on TV and finally I bought the Collector's Edition DVD, which I've watched twice so far.

The movie is an intelligent view of what we have become as consumers. The fighting is a symbol for the anger that we have to deal with and keep inside every day. If someone told you that this movie sucks because it's about a bunch of people who are angry so they decided to create an underground fight club, ignore him/her.

I won't spoil anything, but if you're the kind of person who is amazed by how people accept obvious "insincerity" and are happy with it, then this movie is for you. If you think it's stupid to spend your money on designer underwear then this is also a movie for you.

If this movie was created in 2007 or 2008, I'm sure that Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) would've been asking: Why is Paris Hilton famous?, Why would anyone waste time watching TMZ and eventually create a new breed of parasites that sticks to the "celebrities" and intrude their personal lives in order to satisfy the curiosity of the... mmmm.. I really don't know what to call anyone who's giving that much of attention to actors and singers whom according to the logic, they are here to entertain us, but somehow something happened and they've became the most important figures in the society and we are supposed to follow them as role models! I'm sure he'd be asking about the factory that's creating all those teenagers with too much make-up who are giving us an idea about the next generation.

I can go on and on... JUST WATCH IT!



3 out of 5 stars Don't sign me up for the fan club   October 25, 2008

An anonymous worker in an automobile company (Edward Norton), thoroughly stricken by ennui over his faceless consumer identity, rebels against society when he falls under the influence of the charismatic and subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Soon, the two are forming "fight clubs," where men beat each other senseless, and spearheading an anarchistic guerilla group.

This film has a great first act and shows signs of becoming a first-rate indictment of our commercial culture (never mind the irony that it comes in the form of a big Hollywood movie). Unfortunately, it derails about the time that Tyler Durden comes on stage. From this point, it becomes progressively sillier, and what strikes many appreciative viewers as a primal cry of rage against conformity seems to me more like a temper tantrum with powerful explosives. It fails to deliver a coherent message, but the high caliber of the cast and the skill of director David Fincher keep things watchable.

Brad Pitt is disgusting. His wife is disgusting. This movie is disgusting.
And if you like this movie, you're disgusting.



4 out of 5 stars One of my favorites   October 4, 2008
D. V. Martin (Perth. West Australia.)
Fight Club was one those films which fall into the category of "loved it or hated it "
I stand with the former loved it
The premise of the film is to fight back
Psychological and physical violence both leave scars
Both will heal over time, but the mental scars go deeper
Fight Club gives people the chance to come face to face with the antagonist, be it a stranger or someone you have known all of your life
Stranger's sometimes have more control over your life than you do
Fight Club has a nice plot twist and is always throwing in new little subplots' to keep you on your toes
Edward Norton is excellent as the narrator and one of the best actors to emerge over the last 15 years
Brad Pitt turns in a great performance as Tyler Durden the "partner" of Norton
Meatloaf also turns in great performance as Bob, whose mental scars are almost as large as his physical ones
Helena Bonham Carter is worth seeing as Marla Singer the woman who feels left out and realizes that a woman isn't the only one who can feel downtrodden and abused




5 out of 5 stars Its Name is Robert Paulson   September 22, 2008
D. J. Bowler (Federal Way, WA United States)
There is no other movie more appropriate and prophetic about the times we live in, so this review warrants a departure from what you're used to. First I'll say some relevant facts about me as a reviewer of this film and about what this movie is *not*, then we''ll take a look at the facts about what the movie *is*.

I'm not under twenty-five. I'm not even a 'twenty-something'. If you think you're above or beyond taking a good look at this movie, and considering what its subtext might be, you're f.o.s., you're a coward. You are scared of anything that might make you take a second look at your priorites and the way that you actually spend the minutes and hours of your days. Control your fear. See the movie.

I'm not white. You don't have to be white to like this movie. That's another evasion. Stop running away. Stop ducking and hiding. See the movie.

This is not a fascist movie. The sort of people who call it fascist have no idea of what 'fascist' is. Mussolini mentioned later on in his career that given a choice he would've renamed fascism 'corporatism'. Want to get a clue? Take a good look around the country that you live in. I'm a veteran of the current conflict and I say this to you.

This is not a "gruesome" movie. It is a movie that involves violence, nothing more. If after twenty-five years of eagerly watching a steady escalation of violence and gore you find this movie "painful to watch" -- while you apathetically sit around letting other people do your fighting for you (while artfully pretending to be apalled) -- you're a ridiculous wuss. Just see the movie.

This is not just a 'guy-flick'. I have been lucky enough to know a fair number of women who chose to buy or rent, then watch and re-watch this movie with no prompting from me... They were a lot of fun too, so that's something to consider. See the movie.

The fact is that Fight Club has 1376 reviews dating from 1999 forward on Amazon, the vast majority of them five-star (refer to this webpage).

The fact is that after it "failed" upon its commercial release (refer to the Wikipedia entry) and got panned by multiple paid reviewers, its financial success and their reviews did a u-turn by 2004 and has since placed as one of the top ten films of the last hundred years. Obviously there was enough 'meat' and substance here to attract and retain a cult. I hope Director David Finch is pleased. Even when people don't know how to put the Truth into words they know it when they see it, and they know what they like.

Regarding the Cast:

It was Brad's role as 'Tyler Durden' that made me truly respect Mr. Pitt's work. It's said that he supplied all the clothes that he wore for his role (culled from the thrift shops of the Silverlake District). If that's true, then that's just one more reason to say 'Bravo!'

Ed Norton might've been the only actor at that time who could have got on the ground and gotten on down with that role in triple-x style. He took his part as the film's protagonist *to school*...

Helena Bonham Carter's character 'Marla' is stronger, more fun and more 'together' than 98% of the scared fakes you meet in any office. Would it be such a bad thing if more women got in touch with their 'inner-Marla' and, for figurative example, took 'her' out for drinks? Well, I guess that'll have to keep 'til the near-future.

Fight Club is provocative entertainment. Those who get distracted by the violence are looking for excuses to be distracted, or to distract *you*... There are those who have a vested interest in making sure people continue 'working jobs that they hate so they can buy garbage they don't need'.

Fight Club speaks directly about 'The Wasteland' that the supposedly well-adjusted live in ("our Great War's a Spiritual War").

Fight Club straight-arms right through a whole crowd of taboos.

Given the times we live in, with the Fight Club scenario coming true before our eyes (sans the home-made dynamite), there's no better moment to post this review. 1999 is a long time gone, with its smug assurance and bovine trust. That was the world that put Wall Street in the state it's in today, lid nailed shut, coins on eyelids, talking out of its grave for all intents and purposes. Fight Club lived to look down upon it and all its minions and say: Your name is Robert Paulson!.
