A Must See Movie: Fight Club
If you haven’t seen it yet, Fight Club was, in fact, one of the most culturally and artistically important films of the last ten or twenty years. Just as movies like Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas started the decade off with a bang, Fight Club finished it off with an even bigger one. It’s definitely one of the must download movies of the last thirty years or so.
The movie follows Ed Norton as an unnamed narrator who serves as our lead character. He’s a white collar office worker dissatisfied with his lot in life, and the movie draws a lot of comparisons to Office Space which came out around the same time. The two films are very different, however. They use much of the same subject matter, but Fight Club is much darker, much more brooding, while at the same time… Just as funny, albeit in a darker, more sarcastic sort of way.
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.
Durden serves as the heart of the film in more ways than one. He and the narrator found the Fight Club, a get together where men can come and, well, fight each other. They let out all their frustrations and try to remember what it means to be a man by pounding their fists into one another. The movie follows the club as it grows into something more.
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.
