Fight Club

[Jubba]

Ok. Let me start out by saying a few things.

1) The movie Fight Club is one of the most disturbing movies ever. It is my all time favorite movie. This movie helps me to calm down and relax after a long day.

2) The book was really amazing too.

3) Fight Club can be applied to almost every field of study that deals with any type of human behavior.



Now saying that, I am proud to announce that something I have been hoping for, for about 2 years, has finally come true: I have to do an Anthropology assignment on Fight Club. I have to write a 12 page paper about the movie. :):) I'm excited.

ok, now that all that is over, I would like to know who has seen this movie and what you all thought of it. :)

Cheers,
Jubs

I agree, its brilliant, very well written! And I also agree its very good at looking at the way humans work... one of my favourites too :beam:

I just saw Road To Perdition today too, thats awesome too! :beam: Anyone else seen it/like it?

- Soul :s:

[lava]

forget that... lets get back to fight club... hehe..
Oh man, that movie is awesome... I saw it again today... #1 movie of all time...

[senocular]

Yeah Im not a big ed norton fan (even though hes originally from around here) though He did good in fight club (primal fear too) and it was an all around excelent movie. Very cool that you get to write a report on it!

[Jubba]

I like Ed Norton. Any particular reason you don't sen? :)

[Alex]

i havent seen it, yes i know, your probally thinking that i have been living under a rock... right...

im probally going to rent it next weekend. :)

[Jubba]

Alex: Ok, I'm just giving you this one warning. Make sure you sit thru the whole thing, even if you don't understand it. Some of my friends didn't like it because they ddin't understand, then they told me that they never finished watching it. I was like, "Well duuuuuh dumarse! Thats why you don't understand it!"

[nobody]

i own it, but ive only seen the end of it
someone told me a particular disturbing thing which is shown rather quickly at the end, and its true.. ack
im sure you know what im talking about

[lava]

well... it's good... and I loved it from beginning to end.. Anyone who doesn't like fight club should get his butt kicked...

anyways... ed norton... he's a REALLY good actor, but his last 3 movies have been really crappy...

and brad pitt... it's ok to like brad pitt movies. It's not ok to be a brad pitt fan...

[replode]

I found Fight Club very entertaining. I agree, its not a movie for someone with a bad stomach.:hangover:

Soul:
I have also seen Road to Perdition, and that was also a good movie. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors. :)

[Raydred]

Loved the movie!!!!!!!!!
after seeing it and laughing at weird spots in the movie, i couldnt stop to wonder,... do I have psychological problems? And i say no... YES no.. shut up! iMake me! why dont.. *knocks Raydred to the floor* what the hell?! *takes some punches..*..
*stops for a moment, thinks*..

Like i said...
=)

[Jubba]

Yeah. the great thing about this movie is that no matter how many times you see it, you always see something new, every time!

Does any one know anything about the payphone? When the narrator calls Tyler for the first time? :)

If you don't know the secret and you want to know then ask me, or watch the movie and find out.... :)

[RelandR]

It has been awhile... liked it alot... don't own it... now you've gone and arroused my couriosity... have to go get it to see and re-see all that I don't clearly remember (all the subtle stuff)

One particularly cool part I remember was when he *arranged* to be able to work from home :!:

phoneBooth-phoneBooth... ahh isn't that where it all becomes clear, much to his dismay ?!?

Another bizzare-o look into the peculiarities of human behaviour is 'a clockwork orange' ... been probably over 20 yrs since I've seen that one ... another for the re-lookin'

[morse]

Wow. Im gunna go see this movie now.

[RelandR]

It is definately one of those where if someone talks to ya while it's on... you need to go back a few... every little bit is part of the build up to the grand finale - gotta pay full attention -

[grimdeath]

love it, own it, watch it every now and then i love this movie almost as much as i love seven, resevoir dogs and unusual suspects thsoe are like my all time favorite movies and if you guys never seen unusual suspects you are fools and i hope kyzer zoze comes and gets you, oh and lavaboy ed nortons last flick red dragon is awesome i think its the best from the hannibal series IMO

[UNFLUX]

great movie. easily a top 20 of all time for me.

[Swank]

i dont like fight club, should i get my arse kicked?

[lava]

what's the payphone secret?

[grimdeath]

yeah whats the payphone secret????

[Jubba]

well if you look closely the payphone says "no incoming calls" but Tyler still calls him back. :)

[!*@&]

i have never ever seen it before. i have never ever heard of it before.

[Kajinku]

I agree, Fight Club is awesome. Very well made.
But in the "strange movies" section, if I had to pick one of these two:

[a] Fight Club
[b] Donnie Darko

I'd pick Donnie Darko. If Fight Club is awesome, Donnie Darko totally kicks ***.

About the Brad Pitt topic, he does his thing very good in Fight Club, but in my opinion, his best performance was in 12 Monkeys:

[Lynx]

I've heard a bit about it, but I haven't seen it.
Oh and the only thing I know about this movie is the name of it - Fight Club, that's all :)

[lava]

oh, there's a bunch of them like that... I knew that secret, I thought it was something cool... not dorky.

If you watch the movie again, you'll notice that EVERYONE ignores tyler when they're outside of fight club... also, you know about the splicing, right?

[Jubba]

Thats not cool? Its small things like that that are all over the place. The hidden smilies. The splicing...

[Kitiara]

I loved Fight Club (and not just because Brad Pitt was in it ;) ). I think it's a film you can read as much into as you want...

[AnOraK]

great film...

one of the best parts of the movie is when brad pitt holds the gun to the young checkout boys head...

it is very true that in the morning his breakfast would have tasted like no other...

everything that you took 4 granted would be so much better...

something to think about...

another great part is the scene were brad is discussing the "things to do chart" in case of an emergency on the plane...

sweet...

large amounts of oxygen make you docile... he he

exactly what you would want in that situation...

hindu cows indeed...

there is so much going on in the film, loadsa food for thought..

after you have finished your project you should post it so we can see your thoughts...

but then again, i thought we were not supposed to talk about it?

[Jubba]

Yeah, and things like that show just how much work this guy has done to create Tyler Durden. He makes him up before he meets him. Creates the entire character, including the fact that he doesn't pick up his phone, and he does *69 and calls back... its just how deep his dementia goes...

[lava]

this is my favorite quote:

In the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite article A dildo - never YOUR dildo

[lava]

Everybody talks to themselves everyday. But no one has the kind of courage YOU have to just run with it...

[AnOraK]

You've been raised on television to believe we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars - but we won't.

[AnOraK]

i love this line...

"We just had a near-life experience"

you could go on all day...

good luck with your project m8...

[lava]
