Bryan Chiffon AB 4 Fight Club Movie Review   The movie // Fight Club // is a film based on the book “Fight Club” written by Chuck Palahniuk. The film includes actors Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. Rooney describes the actors as: // “ // // Performances by the three leads are uniformly potent, with Norton's character demanding by far the greatest range.” // Pitt plays Tyler Durden who is an insomniac soap salesman and is also the person who starts “Fight Club” and “Project Mayhem.” Norton plays The Narrator who uses the most descriptive vocabulary and goes very well with his part and Carter plays Marla Singer who is in a relationship with Tyler Durden throughout the movie. This movie has a very confusing twist to it and I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a drama/action thriller. Rooney describes the film as an: // “ // // adrenaline rush of a movie about a guru who advocates brutality and mayhem should excite and exhilarate young audiences everywhere in significant numbers. //// ” // The movie starts out with a man that has The Narrator tied up with a gun towards his head and then goes into a flashback. The Narrator has insomnia and goes to a doctor to see if he can get medicine that will make him go to sleep easier. The doctor then denies him and says if he wants to see real pain then he should go to the “Testicular Cancer meeting.” He then goes there and sees them suffering and he meets a man named Robert Paulson (played by Meat Loaf). Paulson has testicular cancer and this is when The Narrator vents; when he vents, he can sleep. If he doesn’t vent, then he can’t sleep and then that drives him crazy. He also meets this girl named Marla Singer and she is also a fake and can’t cry while she is there because she is faking too. He is losing his mind and is having trouble sleeping again. Graham talks about the film and says: // “ // // Don't sell this film short, especially its power on a visceral level.” // The Narrator goes on a business trip, where he meets his friend named Tyler Durden. Tyler Durden is a soap salesman and is a very complex man. This is also the part in the movie where his life gets turned around. The Narrator’s apartment burns down and now he calls Durden to see if he can live with him. Durden says yes, the house is a dump with no electricity and with barely any running water. Since The Narrator can’t sleep, he sets up his own club. He sets up a venting club where males can go and release aggression; however, it goes much deeper than that and turns into a terrorist group that destroys and vandalizes property around the city.   The movie has a strong twist to it that you wouldn’t see coming. Everything gets turned around and you will have to reevaluate the movie after you understand it. This is one of the interesting movies that I have ever watched and will always keep you on the edge of your seat! I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch an enjoying movie with a confusing ending! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Works Cited: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; letter-spacing: 1.5pt;">Rooney, David.
