We're not in "Fight Club" so we can talk about Fight Club.

The first rule of Fight Club is don't talk about Fight Club.

An intellectual and emotional ride through a man's psyche as he takes a strange path toward rebellion against consumer society.
You're young. You have an easy, well-paid deskjob. You have a condo, Swedish furniture, artistic coffee tables and a fridge full of condiments. Yet you feel emotionally and spiritually empty. You eventually find comfort in going to support groups for lukemia and cancer victims when there's nothing wrong with you until they're hijacked from you by another faker. Then you meet Tyler Durden, a man that shows you that not only can you live without material needs but that self-destruction, the collapse of society and making dynamite from soap might not be such a bad idea either.
Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in.
Fight Club's themes of honor and freedom (perhaps attainable through total disengagement from society and perhaps by starting over) remains complex and contradictory, as do its exploration of individual work and group power. Ultimately this film, directed by David Fincher (Seven, 1995; The Game, 1997) does not coalesce perfectly, but its themes and images are rich with meaning and it is one of the deepest explorations of modern masculinity within the working class to date.
Many reviewers thought the film was fascist. I think you can only call this ridiculous, since that assumes Fincher sympathizes with Tyler Durden's project mayhem. In fact, he invites us to form our own opinion, like Stanley Kubrick did in "A Clockwork Orange". "Fight Club" hands over the resposibility to the viewer. This may be uncomfortable to some, others (like myself) will embrace this.

Unfortunately, there are fight clubs like the one in the movies.
I did not like the movie, as a matter of fact did not finish watching it. Just last week there was a fight club busted at one of our city schools. Twenty-six students were suspended, even the ones who were just watching. I for one, do not understand the logic in club fighting.
Peace.

I think Fight Club is definitely one of those movies that you have to see twice. The first time you're so confused the whole time, you miss things. But, the second time you know what's going on and you can pick up on things you missed the first time. Overall, I'd say that it was a very creative storyline. I liked it.

I think it's awesome. On both the literal and surreal levels, the film deals with a lot of men's issues -- insecurity, friendship, nihilism, rage, conforming vs. rebelling, the tendency to both embrace and fear violence.
The book is excellent, too, and the movie is actually fairly faithful to the original text.
And Brad Pitt and Ed Norton both turn in great performances. Meatloaf ain't bad, either.

That there is the "I" and "me."
When you use "I" , you are using it as an objective, that is you want something for yourself.
When you use "me", you are using it as an suject, that is what does something want from you.
In fight club, Ed Norton, creates an image of himself of what society wants from him.... hot, ballsy, does whatever he wants, etc.
He has no "I", that is, no concept of what he wants for himself. He is always doing what is expected for him. THe movie, I think, is a transition between going from what society expected from him to what he wanted for himself. I would say that the bombing at the end of the movie signifies his "i dont care" atittude of what society wants him to be.
In short, the movie starts out with him feeling like the bottom rung of society, to forming an image of himself at the top end of society, but in the end, realizes that the best thing to do is to reject the whole notion of surviving in society and just doing what he feels is right.
That is the message I got out of it, whether I agree with it is another story.

I absolutely love Ed Norton, so I will pretty much watch anything he is in.
Brad Pitt is okay, but he is EXTREMELY overrated.
As far as the movie.......it was alright.
