Review of Fight Club (1999) by Roxanne D — 27 Jul 2016

This was a battle between the kind of normative complacency we see everyday, meaning lugging the proverbial Sisyphean boulder up the damn hill, which we all do, complainingly, and the fantasy to defy the mundanity of our lifestyles and do something actually meaningful.

The film itself also battles simultaneously with the kind of message it wants to send, and unfortunately it sends a rather anticlimactic one ultimately-we will lose the battle with our rebellious and idealistic selves, and we will continue to follow our Sisyphean path, sadly.
