Few movies come and shape you as a person, FC is one of the movies which has closely influenced me on a very personal level (Positively i hope).

To me the movie is all about discovering who you really are and what drives you as a person what are your dreams and what would you classify as an achievement and what are your biggest failures.

The Dialogues are mind blowing to qoute a few..

We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place We have no great war, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The great depression is our lives.

My father never went to college, so it was really important that I go. After I graduated, I called him long distance and asked, "Now what?" He said, "Get a job." When I turned twenty-five, I called him and asked, "Now what?" He said, "I don't know. Get married." A generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is the answer we really need.

Some critics have described FC as a vent to male aggression, and i reluctantly agree but it is so in a very aesthetic sort of way, the violence wherever it is lends strength to the plot and the inevitable (oh so hot) scenes between Marla Singer and Brad Pitt border between the sensual and artistic. They are by no means lewd and very watchable (although maybe not with ur grandmom)

To set the context Edward and Brad Pitt live together and find out that they have a lot of interests in common and move on to form a fight club as a recreation event in the weekends.

The movie moves inexorably to a gut wrenching suspense... Is Tyler misusing Edward Norton, and the fight Club...? Does he have ends of his own to serve?

The Climax slowly unfolds as complex relationships emerge.
