Fight Club is a movie based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk and it is directed by David Fincher. It was realesed in 199. It's a story about a nameless narrator (Edward Norton) who works in a car company and suffers from insomnia. He is kind of perfectionist about material things. His doctor refuses to give him medication and recommend him to go on support groups to witness more severe suffering. He finally finds release from insomnia in a support group for testicular cancer victims, pretending that he is also a victim. He becomes addicted to attending support groups until he notices a presence of another impostor and starts to have trouble to sleep again. The importor is Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) and they negociate to go on support groups in different times. One day, the narrator met Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a soap salesman, in a business trip. When he arrives from the trip he finds out that his appartment was lost in a fire, so without option, he calls Tyler. They start to chat in a bar about consumerism and Tyler invite the narrator to stay in his house. Outside the bar they start a fight without no reason and they liked it. The narrator starts to live with Tyler in a non-material lifestyle and every day they fought in front of the bar, which ended up attracting a crowd of men. So they started the Fight Club in the bar's basement. One day Marla called the narrator asking for help with her drug problems and Tyler decided to help her and they started a confuse relationship. The fight club was getting bigger and Tyler created a anti-materialist and anti-corporate organization called "Project Mayhem" which is a organization that do attacks to things related to capitalism and is leadered by Tyler. The "Project Mayhem" was huge and lots of men were in it. One day the narrator wakes up and finds out that Tyler disappeared.. so in a way to find him he goes to many cities and finds Tyller in a hotel room and Tyler tells him that they are dissociated personalities in the same body. Tyler controls the narrator's body when the narrator is asleep. So everything started to make sense to the narrator becaus Marla always called him Tyler. So the narrator finds out Tyler's plans to erase debt by destroying buildings that contain credit card companies' records. The narrator tries to contact the police but finds that the officers are members of the Project. He attempts to disarm explosives in a building, but Tyler points a gun in his head. So the narrator realised that he was Tyler and then he shoot himself in the cheek. The movie ends with the narrator watching the explosion of the buildings holding hands with Marla. It's a great movie with amazing actors and a impeccable story with a surprise ending. It is also a critique of the capitalist system and it pass a message that material things are not everything in a human life by a excelent story. There are any remarkeable quotes in Fight Club. I definitely recommend it.
