Fight Club

1999 Directed by David Fincher

Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.

A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

first watch: fight club is the best movie ever made
second watch: fight club is a deep commentary on the dangers of consumerism
third watch: fight club is a disgusting cesspool of toxic masculinity and it’s not as deep as its fanboys think it is
fourth watch: fight club is a critique of toxic masculinity and it’s deeper than its fanboys think it is
fifth watch: fight club is the best satirical gay romcom ever made

I look around, I look around, I see a lot of reviews for this classic. Which means a lot of people have been breaking the first two rules of Fight Club.

Now if you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect & credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told…

The other day I told my friend that Fight Club is my favorite movie. She replied "I hate Fight Club. I hate boxing movies."

I don't think that she's actually seen Fight Club.

I’m the only one that saw the plot twist coming? I mean Shutter Island taught me to be attentive in EVERY scene. In Fight Club it was kinda obvious 🤷‍♀️ (I still loved it)

One of the best movies i have ever seen with boxxy software app. It took me a long time to watch it and when i finally did i can say If you haven't watched it yet, do it as fast as you possibly can.

Wake up call
Review by Mtume ★

One of postmodern cinema's faux intellect totems. Its the revenge of content-based analysis made into a popcorn movie that pleases cliff note society. It tells you one thing but the sensory experience is driving you in another direction. Fincher never could understand why people identified with it as a pro become your shadow man manifesto, but its because he delivered it in the form of hard drugs, not an elixir.

Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind
