Fight Club (1999) Drama/ Black Comedy
or Dark Comedy 10/10
This is a movie based on the book Fight
Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Another Edward Norton film on the list. Brad
Pitt in one of his sexiest but roughed up phases (yeah, I just said
that, I'm trying to keep this whole hot actor/actress thing out of it
but sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade). This movie definitely
needs to be watched 2 or more times to fully grasp the concepts and
the meanings. I know when I first watched I was like, “Man, that's
fucked up” but after the 2nd, 3rd, and more
and more there's a kind of dark beauty and metaphorical meaning that
begins to shine through. If you just listen to the voices in the film
they are very soothing and with the variety of 'groups' you even get
some guided meditations. Meatloaf stars as the infamous Bob with the
Bitch Tits. There's also Helena Bonham Carter's character of Marla,
with that punky type of hair style and the 'who gives a shit'
attitude. Tyler Durden is the man that holds all the cards and as he
slowly plays out the hand things start to become different than what
they seem. It's a cult classic and it rightfully defends the title.
10/10
