Have you seen Fight Club yet? Most everyone has, but a few viewers have actually somehow managed to miss this movie. Of course, it wasn't just a movie, it was also something of a cultural event. Love it or hate it, you have to respect that it was one of the most influential films of the last twenty years, at least deserving as much respect as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction or Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. It was the movie that ended the nineties as those two movies began the era, and certainly one of the must download movies of the decade.
The movie follows Edward Norton as the unnamed Narrator. We never find out his name. He works a dull, soul crushing white collar job. The movie came out about the same time as Office Space, and the two are compared quite often. They both follow some of the same trains of thought in terms of where they get their material, but Fight Club takes it in a much darker direction, while still actually remaining just as funny as the other film, in spite of not technically being a comedy film.
The narrator meets Tyler Durden, and the rest is history. Durden is a character who is completely free of the boundaries of society placed on most people. You know Kramer, from Seinfeld? He's kind of like that. Just, imagine how dangerous, frightening, and at the same time, inspiring, Kramer would be if you took him out of the sitcom setting and put him into a world where his actions could result in serious consequences.
Tyler Durden is really the heart of the film in.. Many more ways than one. He and the narrator together found the Fight Club, which begins as simply a place where lonely white collar men can fight so as to reaffirm their manhood, but soon grows into something deeper, more frightening, and which has a much greater impact in the grand scheme of things.
The way it grows is fascinating to watch. You can see that, while some parts of the film are outlandish, the suggestion that this sort of a concept would catch on is probably entirely believable and plausible. It hasn't yet, but the impotent rage hiding in many men still has the potential to become potent. It's frightening to think about, but sooner or later, something's got to give.
The way it ties everything up is fascinating and was, at the time, an incredible and unpredictable plot twist. Since, it's become sort of cliche. This movie and the Sixth Sense both created their own style of "surprise endings", and created trends that would eventually get a little tired but which, at the time, were exciting and interesting.
Ed Norton has since gone on to do a lot of... Well, some people call it Oscarbait. He does a lot of movies that are more, you know, "indie", and he's controversial, not all directors enjoy working with him. However, in Fight Club, he really gives the performance his all, creating a character who is both an everyman and a completely unique individual, and the perfect contrast to Tyler Durden. Pitt as Durden is every bit as capable, and turns in one of his best performances.
The movie is violent and surreal, and winds up making an interesting statement on what it really means to be a man in the modern world. Many viewers misunderstand what the movie is really about in that... Well, it doesn't provide answers, as many fans think. It only provides the questions.
