Fight Club

I'm about to break the rules. See the first rule is - I can't talk about it. And the second rule is - I can't talk about it. Tyler's gonna hate me, but its a sacrifice I'm willing to make. 'Fight Club' is David Fincher's masterpiece, thanks to the inspired book by Chuck Palahniuk and a great script by Jim Uhls. Its highly audacious with important commentary on the current state of the human male but also manages to be thrilling, blackly humorous and intriguing. If there are flaws, I couldn't tell you what they are, and if even if I could, I wouldn't care! Best film I've ever seen.

Brilliant. The second best film I've ever seen (only behind 'Fight Club' because I think that is more important for general society). Weird, wonderful and at times, jarring, but not without a dark sense of humour. Not for everybody as I think its the film equivalent of studying an artwork, like a painting. It will enthrall some and bore others. However, I really do believe that you can get a solid idea of what the film is about if you think of it in terms of 'broad-stroked ideas'. And even then, you may not feel you 'get it' but I really think that is irrelevant. Mystery or not, it remains haunting nonetheless.
