Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena
Bonham Carter
David Fincher
makes his second appearance on this bucket list with Fight Club. A disillusioned
white-collar American worker (Edward Norton) who is simply regarded as the
narrator and a soap salesman named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) begin to routinely
fight outside of a bar. As these fights
become more popular, crowds form and eventually an underground organization
called a fight club is born. As the
narrator and Tyler begin to bond through their displays of aggression, their
friendship gets more complicated. Tyler
begins dating Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), a girl in whom the narrator is also
interested after crashing cancer support groups with her. Fight
Club is one of the most unique thrillers you’ll find. It’s fun, creative, and undeniably violent. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are at their
absolute best in every display of male aggression, and it’s delightful to
watch. It’s a film that not only pushes
the envelope but cuts straight through it.
It’s the ultimate guy movie.
