How to Start a Fight


“Fight Club” starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter is an action-packed and intellectually stimulating film based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk. It examines the deepest corner of an ordinary man’s mind where even he himself is refused from entering. Tyler Durden, a soap salesman, and Jack, an insomniac, learn to curb their aggression with the conception of “fight clubs” forming in cities around the country. When the status of these clubs catches on the formation of project mayhem turns the city into an uproar with the everyday laborers and maintenance workers leading the pack. Marla Singer, Jack’s therapy “faker” remains the film’s medium as her reaction to the cult’s actions seems the only reasonable one to be had. The best part of this movie, however, is found at the end with a twist the will make you watch it again and again.
I absolutely love this movie due mainly in part to the character played by Brad Pitt. Completely free from care with the ability, “to let that which does not matter truly slide.” His mannerisms and demeanor depict him as the very definition of the word bad***. In all, “Fight Club” does a remarkable job of letting you hang until the very end. This is one film you don’t want to miss.
