Review of Fight Club (1999) by Maineutral R — 02 Jul 2014
What a crazy film. Indeed this is the kind of reason why I love movies. They can be impeccable experiences and deliver something that will always be on your mind until the moment you die. Fight Club is a film with lots of questions and WTF moments that ultimately result in something completely different. Not an answer, not a conclusion, but something, something else.
It's hard to talk about this film without giving any spoilers, so I'll do my best. I love this film for its style. It's weird, but normal; it's hateful, but loveable; it's strange, but common. Whatever it is, maybe it's all of that and none. Don't get it? Me neither, but I can assure you I love this. I love the humor, I love the subliminal images, I love how they keep distracting you until reaching the big reveal, I love how symbolic it is on how the thing you own end up owing you. I love this film full of psychedelia and mayhem, and with great actors to pull it off.
Fight Club is oddly enough directed by Alien3 director David Fincher. I hated Alien3, but who would have guessed that one of his films will end up in my favorites. This movie is great, strange and crazy, but that's why I love it. A great cult film that should be a classic.
