Fight Club

First I have to say: Great. I love it. Brutal, creative, crazy, funny, bloody, agressive. It starts with : "People always ask me if I know Tyler Durden". We see a pistol and after that scene a man who has breasts like a women because of hormons he has to take. But wait, "back up. Let me start earlier". Edward Norton, the narrator, couldn´t sleep for six months. Nobody can help him, so he starts getting addicted to self-help-groups (in one of them he meets the guy with the breast). He has one every day, where he can let go for the first time. That´s when he meets Marla Singer. "Marla's philosophy of life was that she might die at any moment. The tragedy, she said, was that she didn't." The narrator has a boring life, where his big sense is to find the right furnitures who express his personality, defines him as a person. He meets Tyler in a plain, he comes home, his apparment is burned, so he calls Tyler and they drink some beer (I think it was beer). "What are we (...)? (...) Consumers. (...) We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession." Tyler is a charismatic and radical guy, he knows what he wants, he does want he wants, he has no fear, because: Only when you arrive at the zero-point you are completely free. Pain gets a new dimension, it´s the proof that you live, you can feel that you are alive. All the agressive emotions that are held behind in society are accepted and you can express them in the "fight club". The central point in this movie is the crack with the moral of our modern civilisation, the fight against social conventions. The dialogs are dazzling, very intelligent, critical. And ladies: Bratt Pitt is so...wow in this movie. His body is beautiful, just a pleasure to look at. But of course this wasn´t the reason to watch the film, well, at least not the only one.
