Fight Club was released in 1999 it is an adaptation of the 1996 book by Chuck Palahniuk. Starring Brad Pitt (Tyler Durden) and Edward Norton as the nameless (narrator).The narrator who cannot match society’s requirements for happiness.He also suffers from insomnia. his doctor refuses to give him sleeping pills and suggests he visit a testicular cancer support group so he can appreciate real suffering. After attending the group he breaks down and is able to sleep! So he starts to fake more illnesses so that he can attend more groups on doing this he meets another impostor, Marla Singer(Helena Boham Cater). He then meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) on a business trip who is a soap salesman and they exchange phone numbers. When the narrator arrives home his flat has been destroyed by an explosion.With this he calls Tyler and they meet up. Tyler agrees to let him stay with him on one condition, that the narrator hits him.The two end up having a fist fight outside the bar which they enjoy. The narrator moves in with Tyler. They then return to the bar and have another fight this is when “fight club” is established. I don’t want to give to much away,but there are a lot of metaphors this is one of Brad Pitt’s
“Fight Club is a metaphor for the need to push through the walls we put around our selves and just go for it, So for the first time we can experience the pain.”
The director intended the bathtub scene to represent a homoerotic moment.To make the audiences uncomfortable and unprepared for the film’s coming events.
The twist at the end of the film left me with a lot of unanswered questions, So a second viewing is definitely recommended .Tyler Durden’s recitation of the rules of fight club is one of the most quoted monologues in film “
“ The first rule of fight club…you do not talk about fight club…The second rule of fight club is…you do not talk about fight club..”
