Product Description

"'Fight Club' pulls you in, challenges your prejudices, rocks your world and leaves you laughing" (Rolling Stone). Brad Pitt ("12 Monkeys", "Seven"), Edward Norton ("Primal Fear," "American History X") and Helena Bonham Carter ("Mighty Aphrodite," "A Room With A View") turn in powerful "performances of which movie legends are made" (Chicago Tribune) in this action-packed hit. A ticking-time-bomb insomniac (Norton) and a slippery soap salesman (Pitt) channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until a sensuous eccentric (Bonham Carter) gets in the way and ignites an out-of control spiral toward oblivion.

All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. Fight Club takes perhaps more than others, but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiraling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control.

Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown

It's cool, slick and clever, but at bottom it's meaningless. The movie suffers from the same disease of cleverness that Tyler professes to hate. Jack loathes civilization and what it's doing to him. There are a few moments of insight, like the conversation about fathers and women between Jack and Tyler. But most of the targets are overly familiar. Jack doesn't like Ikea, he doesn't like Starbucks, he doesn't like the emasculation that is part of the modern world. So? Well, so nothing. Tyler's solution is to wear buckskins and "hunt elk around the ruins of Rockefeller Center." Destroy civilization and return to fang-and-claw. As soon as we've embraced this mission, the film turns its back on it, by mocking the neo-fascist traits of Tyler's organization. At the end, Jack turns against Tyler, with the intent of undoing the hostile deeds that Tyler has set in motion to end civilization. Most of our sympathies are with Tyler, despite his black shirt tactics, but the sympathies aren't strong. If the only choice is between Starbucks and fascism, who cares what happens.

The film's end is clunky enough that a class could be taught using it as a negative example. Lots of holes. Unlike Poe's William Wilson, Jack is unable to kill Tyler (which under Poe's rules would have resulted in Jack's death). So he shoots himself. As a result, Tyler dies but Jack somehow survives--with what looks like a gunshot wound in the side of his face. Let's see--maybe Tyler, as Jack's wish fulfillment, was physically resident in one of Jack's molars?

Fight Club is worth seeing for the cleverness, the acting, the film style, and all the little things that make for good entertainment. It's a thrill ride. But the film sets an expectation that it's going to deliver something meaningful, and it doesn't.

I'm not sure where to begin. Is it perhaps the irony of buying a consumer product that speaks to the ills of consumerism? Yet I see in Fight Club the greatest gift to society. I see in it the solution to the world's present state of permanent adolescence.

Never before has a generation so diligently recorded themselves accomplishing so little. Society has us chasing 'likes' and 'shares' so we can feel more important than we are. We're posting photos of our food as if what we had for dinner defines us a person. We treat elections like reality TV shows. We're paying for higher education in order to get jobs that pay for our higher education. We believe we are all going to be social media stars and movie gods. But we won't. What we think is anti-establishment is establishment. We've become the thing that we stood against.

All this potential, being squandered. I'm thinking Fight Club is what we really need. If you open your mind and let go, it will change your life. It will have you sizing people up. You'll start wearing more red. You'll look at ads and start asking "why?" You'll get in better shape, not for others, but for yourself. You'll realize a controlling woman is the last thing you need in your life. You'll appreciate soap. You'll laugh at others trying to get the perfect selfie. You'll start thinking for yourself.

Trust me,
Tyler

Do NOT show this movie to any of your third world friends who are used to watching documentaries. My Indonesian housemate was so horrified by the first half of the film, she left the room mumbling that the movie represented many of the reasons why the rest of the world "hates Americans".
We had such an argument that she almost withdrew her Visa application thinking she didn't want to work in a country that held those values. . It took two film grads and an apology from me to explain that the characters are symbolic and Americans do not steal liposuction fat to make soap. Of course if she had watched to the end, she would have learned that this movie is so much more than the struggle of people to evolve beyond their materialistic nature. I recommend it to those with the imagination and experience to enjoy the convolutions of minds' attempt to find connection in a universe crowded with planets of isolation.

Love this movie, always have, and the quality of the Blu-ray is great. The reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because the title "Multi-Format" is misleading; it's only the Blu-ray copy of the movie, no bonus DVD or what I was hoping for, a digital version.

Many people have written excellent reviews already. I wouldn't attempt to outdo them. There are many nuances/layers to this film and it takes many people to review. Let's just kick off by saying it is GENUINELY comic - from the writing to the direction to the acting.

On my third viewing, what strikes me more than ever is the very fine, fine writing. The performers of course do excellently with so much to work with. It's timeless stuff. Most of the lines (and I am talking 99%) are as comic as they were the week the film came out. That is a sign of good writing. And then of course there is the plotting. I rented this becuz a friend of mine, to my astonishment, had never seen it. He was really surprised at the ending. This shows you how well plotted it actually is.

Personally, I think theme of growing up holds much water and it is interesting to re-view the movie with this in mind (once you're past your reactions to the excellent direction/production).

I got so interested, I went on youtube and accessed Edward Norton's fabulous SAG interview for two hours, as well as those cheesy vids explaining things about fight club you probably didn't know. Fight Club is more than a magnificient movie, a symbol of its times/mindset. It's a head trip designed to get you in a dialogue with your SELF. Doesn't get much better than that. Growing up is BRUTAL.
