Category: EnglishThe movie that pretty much inspires most alternative music loving youngsters to brag to their pop music loving friends. Ladies & Gentlemen welcome to Fight Club.
At the heart of Fight Club is a protagonist who much like millions of others like himself is punished with the never ending desire of more. This more is represented by several consumerism and the restlessness we have in us as human beings. Eventually there is a conflict which arises and he solves that conflict by creating an alter ego. The alter ego creates an underground organisation that believes every desire we have can be made lighter, our burden made lesser if we are to engage in physical activities that include mayhem and violence. Pretty much the rawest form of Anarchism you can find there, despite the words used sounding very similar to Nihilism, the means are pure Anarchy.
The ends to nihilism were a reset of morals and values to understand nihilism in the first place, Anarchism is far from that.
A lot of people thought they understood Nihilism after this and that's pure bull shit.
The movie has some very good points to be made about consumerism and everything else I just mentioned, but it does lack a really good execution, there's a lot of repetition to enforce certain things and that's something which isn't required and which is why it's a bit drawn out at 2 hours and 19 minutes.
Feel free to have a look at the movie though, if you're 16 and above this movie will change your life if you're above 21 you should be able to pick some good points from it. The acting is as good as the dialogues so that should be able to sum up what Brad Pitt & Edward Norton are doing here.
Recommendation level: 3/5. It's based on a novel, and the novel is more complete than this in the formal sense, still this movie has a funky feel to it.
