	New York State Writers Institute - Fight Club Film Notes
		Not the fear borne of privation, but the fear borne of prosperity, the nameless, alienating fear that asks, "is this really all there is?" In Fight Club, you throw off the coil of plush consumerism, and reach for the immortality of the barroom brawl.
		Tyler is the happy-go-lucky punch-out artist, nighttime robber of liposuction clinic detritus, and impresario of Fight Club.
		Tyler invites the impressionable narrator to be the Goering to his Hitler, to enrich themselves as Fight Club goes franchise.

		Fight Club (1999) is a film based on the novel Fight Club (1996) by Chuck Palahniuk.

		The film ends with the narrator and Marla watching buildings explode, while the novel ends with the narrator talking about a mental institution (which he believes is heaven) to which he has been confined.

	Anaylsis Of The Film: Fight Club
		Fight Club is no exception; it is a multi-layered film with many subplots and themes, but the primarily it a surrealistically description of the status of the American male at the end of the 20th century.
		Fight Club lets men live by liberating them; they are allowed to express their primal nature, to be men and reclaim their independent strength, courage and power.
		Fight Club takes these themes, consumerism, emasculation of the male and liberation and weaves them together to make a cohesive narrative on the disenchanted, unfilled, castrated male who desperately seeks to be free from societies control.

	Stu's Fight Club Review
		In "Fight Club" Pitt is finally fulfilling his earlier potential shown in movies such as "Seven" and "12 Monkeys." These two fine actors are the center of "Fight Club," and their unlikely but utterly believable friendship drives most of the plot.
		The violence that takes place in the fight clubs is abhorrent, a knee-jerk reaction to a society that only values people as consumers and cogs in a system, where redemption is promised by commodities.
		But as the narrator observes: "When the fight is over, nothing is solved." At one point, he even refers to the fight clubs as his "wasted life." He beats someone nearly to death, and his only rationale is "I wanted to destroy something beautiful." Their actions are not to be imitated or admired.

	Fight Club
		Fight Club largely ignores issues surrounding the break up of labor unions, the slashing of the U.S. workforce, extensive plant closings, downsizing, outsourcing, the elimination of the welfare state, the attack on people of color, and the growing disparities between the rich and the poor.
		Fight Club portrays a society in which public space collapses and is filled by middle class white men--disoriented in the pandemonium of conflicting social forces--who end up with a lot of opportunities for violence and little, perhaps none at all, for argument and social engagement.
		Fight Club reminds us of the need to reclaim the discourses of ethics, politics, and critical agency as important categories in the struggle against the rising tide of violence, human suffering, and the specter of fascism that threatens all vestiges of democratic public life.

	Fight Club review
		However, Fight Club rapidely goes beyond this premise in order to explore a multitude of facets more absurd from one to the other.
		Furthermore, for a film which denounces the consumer society, it is contradictory and even idiotic to invest by millions (65 to be exact) into this subversive idea.
		Cleverly, the film denounces what it is. A hybrid work, falsely provocative, which amuses itself by criticizing cinematographical and ideological codes which it uses in good number.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Fight Club"- Comments4
		The difference between the two films is that American Beauty”; takes a somber route and leaves certain elements to be pondered afterwards, whereas with “Fight Club,” the audience is pounded over the head with a sledgehammer with its thematic message.
		This is the second best film of the year, after American Beauty.”; See both films, back-to-back, with a friend and you’ll have one of the most engaging conversations about life, your place in the world and your fate.
		FIGHT CLUB is definitely a man's movie-not suitable for some women and especially not for children.

	FILM DIALOGUE: Fight Club -- Mischief, Mayhem, Soap
		When they together start the eponymous fight club -- for downtrodden males to regain their masculinity by pummelling each other into a bloody pulp -- it comes as a salvation from the soul-deadening consumerist culture.
		The fighting didn’t come to dominate the movie; in fact, Tyler Durden’s increased following is reflected in the increasing intensity of the scenes in the bar basement where members of Fight Club convene.
		Fight Club certainly is not a pro-violence film, so the outcry that the movie might instigate antisocial behavior is unfounded.

		Fight Club, a "no-holds-barred" fighting game, will portray the brutality of street fighting while encompassing the action and story elements from the movie with intense visuals, untraditional moves, and bare-knuckle destruction.
		Ok so there was a bit of fighting in the film but that wasn't what it was about at all.
		The game follows the film, with bareknuckle fighting in a variety of places (prehaps in fight clubs around America like in the film?) however what seperates this from other (and very good fighting titles) such as Tekken is the damage.

	Fight Club Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Throughout the film, the film talks to, not at, the audience, through its narrator Jack, and as he becomes drawn into the world of Tyler Durden, the audience is drawn in with him.
		The film begins with a number of witty reflections on Jack's life, which the audience takes at face value because we 'see' them on the screen-- in the language of persuasion, these introductory scenes would be called the 'yes set', aimed at gaining initial agreement.
		Judging from the trailer, "Fight Club" may seem to be an uninteresting film about a group of men pummeling each other for thrills, but that is merely scratching the surface.

	Fight Club
		Fight Club is one long interior monologue of such self-loathing and masochist self-indulgence that only a late-night caffeine crawler could stick with it to the nihilist overture of its extended, violent ending.
		The idea of the fight club itself is artistically very clever, and its brilliance carries the film through the sludge of its numbing angst and loneliness.
		Although it's never stated as such, the men who gather there to fight are the orphans of a test-tube culture, a group of unloved castoffs for whom the cure for pain is more pain itself.

	Total Film - Fight Club
		Fight Club’s yuppie narrator (Norton) has the 15th storey glass-fronted condo with expensive furnishings, the highly paid job with career advancement possibilities and a wardrobe of designer clothing.
		Fight Club stands to be the most talked-about film of the year simply because there’s so much that can be said about it.
		At the end of the day, you could argue that Fight Club is a celebration of corrupted masculinity as vehemently as the opposing view that it’s a parody of these ideals.

		Also if you watch fairly old films you can see the "cigeratte burns" and there is in fact a 5 second gap between the first and the second.
		Subliminal is very few frames of film, usually one or two, and that flashes by way to fast to be caught by the human eye.
		The idea of 'fight clubs' is not new and actually pre-dates the book as well as the film.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Fight Club"
		When the high of the fights are no longer enough to satisfy the duo, they decide to take things to another level.
		AMERICAN BEAUTY was a variance of that type of film, primarily targeted to the baby-boom family audience.
		FIGHT CLUB is the fantasy answer to many of the questions facing the doomed male "generation Xers" of the nineties.

	Fight Club
		Fight Club is by far my favorite movie, and it should also be your favorite movie.

		Photogrammetry was extensively used in Fight Club and truly sets it apart from the mainstream of Hollywood films.

	Fight Club - Film Reviews - 2100 Productions - InterVarsity.org
		Because of course Fight Club pretends to be a Cautionary Tale.
		Fight Club starts out, interestingly enough, about a nameless man (the Narrator, played by Edward Norton) who is a relatively successful employee of "a major automobile manufacturer." He's unhappy, despite his accumulated creature comforts, and this unhappiness has made him an insomniac.
		These are movie fights, however, and consequently they go on forever; the men involved are made of some kind of resilient spongy teflon, and they are still sparring and plucky when they obviously have more blood on their shirts than in their veins.

	Fight Club film review
		Fight Club tells the story of a representative thirty year-old generation X yuppie-drone Jack (Edward Norton), who suffers from insomnia, depression and terminal consumerism which he describes as an "Ikea nesting instinct." (The film contains an hilarious attack on advertising for the Ikea home-furnishings chain).
		In the Fight Club, alienated modern males, both blue and white collar, get in touch with their inner manhood by brutal bare-knuckle boxing brawls that leave them scarred but much happier than they were before.
		Despite the first two rules of Fight Club, word spreads and soon chapters are forming all over the city and the country.

	The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Film can seduce and indoctrinate the viewer urging him or her to confront his or her own emotion.
		That the film has its viewers blindly accept a new value structure which undermines and subverts most "normal" values of right and wrong, is a stunning testament to film's ability to create a separate reality within the confines of the theater space.
		The film which exists apart from conventional reality can provide an extasy-an ex stasis allowing the viewer to be taken outside of the domain of normal consciousness and into a reality that is probably most similar to the passive experience of the unconscious dream mixed with conscious memory.
