Fight club, a club where bare knuckles meet jaws. Sweat, blood and high levels of testosterone will baptize them in a fight against their absent fathers, resurrecting them to unite in a brotherhood and destroy the sophistication that brings them down. Jack, played by narrator Edward Norton, is an accident investigator who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and insomnia. Instead of drowning in her burdens putting together the “impeccable” apartment, filled with Ikea furniture, she visits terminal illness support groups. But after meeting Marla, another terminal cancer claimant, the experience renews his insomnia. However, after running into Tyler Darden (Brad Pitt), he is drawn into an underground fight club and soap-making organization. Together, Tyler and Jack commit to a men's club to save their "manhood". Behind the facade of important issues, Fight Club is ultimately too cowardly to truly address the issues it pretends to address. David Fincher's 1999 Fight Club has cult significance, but aside from its huge popular success, the bold exploration of male identity shows the soulless world of America today. David Fincher directs with an exciting style and seems to truly entrust his performances to a highly qualified cast. talented actors. Especially with award-winning actors, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton give the film an extra balance. If the film has a specific virtue, it is trust; the writing and the story do not fade at all, even if they present surprising and unlikely experiences. The story also follows a beautifully structured rhythm, which adds to the power of their performances. Most importantly, trust remains strong even when reality shatters and Tyle's existential factor... in the middle of the page... changes. That's when the void at the film's center becomes apparent, no matter how urgently it proclaims its story and themes. Unrealistically, it centers on men lamenting their loss of virility, even though they have obviously allowed emasculation every step of the way. He then decides that only violence is the answer, equally based on less than admirable reasoning on the part of these victims. Ultimately, he chooses to absurdly ignore the homosocial dimensions so integral to his very being. So by presenting itself as an investigation into important issues in a highly dramatic way, Fight Club is ultimately too cowardly in concept and execution to truly address the real problems it pretends to address. Despite the homosexuality, hyper-emasculation and other issues the film addresses, Fight Club will be one of the most controversial films America has ever seen hit Hollywood..
