Yes, the apocalyptic regime known as "Project Mayhem" is led by an anarchistic genius. Yes, it is a great action film with great fight scenes. I think that most people miss the point on this movie. One of the most unique films of the late 20th century, FIGHT CLUB is a pitch-black comedy of striking intensity.Įpic depiction of gen-x and our lack of living! Great! Outstanding performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and an arsenal of stunning visual effects that include computer animation and sleight-of-hand editing. Like Tyler Durden himself, director David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is startlingly aggressive and gleefully mischievous as it skewers the superficiality of American pop culture. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character-the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, or "tourist," the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. FIGHT CLUB is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups.But perhaps that's appropriate for the movie.

Instead, the Dust Brothers, Michael Simpson and John King, provided the post-modern sound Fincher had in mind. I wouldn't have been able to do it then, but every time I see the film I go, 'Oh.'" "They sent me the script and Ed and Brad Pitt wrote to me and said 'We really think you should do this,'" Yorke told BBC 6 in 2018. the night they finished shooting, smoking a joint and listening to OK Computer.) (Norton told Raftery that he and Pitt stayed up till 4 a.m. Fincher-whose films have become known for their haunting, and in The Social Network's case, Oscar-winning scores-wanted Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke to score Fight Club, but the artist was drained from promoting OK Computer and had to pass.
