They have had violence in movies ever since they came out with movies, it's what is in the movie that may effect society.
I can't believe the people who think Fight Club is just about fighting. Yeah that's a large part of the movie but it's really only to distract you from the truth that is revealed at the end.
That said, I think the movie was grand! It is great that the guy makes up this alter reality, then when he sees what it is really becoming, he himself knows there is no real place for something like that in real life and tries to stop it... it is like a train wreck, you hate to, but you HAVE to watch it.
I would so enjoy winning this
I think this movie really brought to light things that were already going on
Which allowed it to be regulated so that people could enjoy the sport without the fears associated with underground fighting
Wonderful, interesting, thought provoking film
Spoiler alert- for those of you who have NOT seen it, but I think that the surprise twist at the end really made people think. Throughout the movie, Brad Pitt's character became Edward Norton's character's best friend, enemy, role model, all at the same time. Edward Norton struggled with him and his relationship with him as we was at a crossroads in his own life. Well, it turns out, he is actually struggling with himself and coming to terms with his own self-identity.
I think this movie showed people that don't need someone else to be who you really want to be.
Fight Club is a message. Everything in it, means something, even if only within the context of the film/book itself.
Fight Club is a statement about commercialism, about women, about violence, about mayhem, about avoidance, about sanity. Additionally, Fight Club has had a HUGE impact on culture. I find some of the impact ironic, though some is legitimate. Perhaps it's just my friend group, but not a day goes by that at least one Fight Club reference isn't worked into conversation. I do find some irony in Fight Club's merchandising, considering the movie and book are a statement against commercialism (the stuff you own, ends up owning you), and yet the red lensed sunglasses Brad Pitt wears in the film are sold for over $200 online. Additionally, there are multiple tee shirts, business cards, movies, books, all pertaining to Fight Club.
In the end, though, Fight Club is a philosophy.
But.... I can't talk about it, or I'm breaking the rules.
