Review of Fight Club (1999) by Norman B — 14 Sep 2013

A guy doesn't like his job and gets no sense of reward from it, attempting instead to drown his sorrows by putting together the "perfect" apartment. He can't sleep and feels alienated from the world at large.

He's become so desperate to relate to others that he's taken to visiting support groups for patients with terminal diseases so that he'll have people to talk to. One day on a business flight, he discovers Tyler Durden a charming iconoclast who sells soap.

Tyler doesn't put much stock in the materialistic world, and he believes that one can learn a great deal through pain, misfortune, and chaos. Tyler cheerfully challenges his new friend to a fight then he finds that bare-knuckle brawling makes him feel more alive than he has in years, and soon the two become friends and roommates, meeting informally to fight once a week.

As more men join in, the "fight club" becomes an underground sensation.David Fincher did an awesome job directing this movie in particular he captured the emotions of aggression and just feeling like an outcast to society therefore you find something to make you feel at ease.

The cinematography was nice and the music worked perfectly when it was incorporated with occasional scenes. What a horrible dark nightmare I just witnessed.
