영화 정보

Sick of his dead end, white bread, corporate career and disgusted with the empty consumer culture of his generation, a confused young man serendipitously meets Tyler Durden. Together they create a new club where young men come to relieve their frustrations by beating each other to a pulp. Two rules govern the club: no more than two men per fight and no one is to mention fight club to any outsiders. Reverse-psychology proves it's power, as the latter rule instantaneously spreads the news of fight club throughout the underworld sub-culture. Tyler Durden, the ringleader, quickly becomes a cult hero of epic proportions, a new messiah for a dead generation. Meanwhile, Jack manages to get involved in a twisted love triangle with Tyler and a girl named Marla, who is also at odds with reality.

평가 및 리뷰

Everyone wants to focus on the consumerism and how it's killed humanity portion of the film, but what this film really speaks on- is the condition of man. First a man is beaten down, then a man finds his power and "masculinity" then he faces his demons. Power can be intoxicating, and thus Tyler is the embodiment of that intoxication. He is the ego. The way we think we look and act. The way we *want* to look and act. In the final sequence of the movie he kills his ego. Then he's ready for a woman

Anyone who's seen this movie knows it's great, and anyone who hasn't ought to watch it right now. Be warned: this movie does NOT stream in HD, even if you purchase or rent the HD version. Google messed up on this one, and judging from the other reviews, I'm not the only one who got screwed out of a couple dollars. 5 stars for the movie, 2 stars for Google Play.

One of Fincher's best and the way it looks like a fever dream about Masculinity and what it means to be on the extreme fringe of Societal Standards and Practices of the late 90's booming economy to shop shop shop.. and Durden's philosophical questions on the American Upbringing and limericks to the questions at hand.. philosophy of wondrous thought, all summed up in some of the BEST written and BEST directed FILMS for the Anti-Authoritarian err -Authoritarian.. of Alpha and Beta. Us and THEM. "You're notchur fu**ing khakis."
