"I'm Jack's broken heart" " Put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my brains." "You met me at a very strange time in my life."
this movie was important to me when i was 15. then i wasnt 15 and realized this is a not good movie.
"Fight Club" is genetically different and visually intelligent, but I was so convinced I'd love it because so many called it "a movie that will change your perception on movies." It didn't, but it did give me one of the most eventful, intriguing, and intellectual movie experiences I've ever seen.
Ulrich is right. It hasn't aged well. Dammit, I still wanna love it as much as I did when I watched it for the first, second,eigth time but it just isn't working for me anymore. It seems too, and I'm embarassed to even think that, juvenile. And I'm twenty, for god's sake.
Definitely overrated, but the use of digital effects to a create smooth, free-flowing camera work is groundbreaking, and arguably paved the way for it to become an action movie staple of the '00s.
i wasn't that into it to begin with, but the ending really pushed any tolerance i had for the film over the cliff. to this day i am flabbergasted by the reverence so people have for this movie. i musta missed the koolaid the day i saw it.
Despite the colossal throng of worshipers this movie has, I sincerely doubt anyone but a small minority of them could actually deal with paleo-anarchism. Tyler Durden amounts to little more than Ted Kaczynski with sex appeal.
It's funny because I finally watched this one a few years back because of how so many of my friends proclaimed it was such an amazing/awesome movie... going into it, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, and I certainly didn't like it as much as everyone else did. The social satire just didn't hit me because they all made out to be a serious film... I think all my friends missed the satire completely somehow. But in another words, I basically agree with your comment.
This film is what Easy Rider is to the 60's. A film that defines a generation. David Fincher's best by a long shot.
I can't express myself when I talk about this masterpiece when I finish it watching it I was simply speechless. I can't understand how all these ideas and theories are all together and make a perfect story line. Everyone that have seen the movie do not doubt on reading the book by Chuck Palahnuik it's amazing too. GREAT movie.
