"First rule of fight club is: do not talk about fight club."
Hey guys! Long time no see... I am genuinely sorry for that. And I know normally our other admin Calypso would be the one who is posting tonight but considering that I haven't been posting here since forever, we decided it would be better this way 😊 I also came here with a movie this time,not a book. But I'm sure you'll like it! 😎
I'm sure you heard of Fight Club. It is sort of one of the cult classic movies. And I gotta admit, movie is incredibly good... Fight Club was inspired by a Chuck Palahniuk book. Movie and the book are sharing the same name,actually. I didn't read the book but I'm sure it is a great book. After all, the movie was one of the best movies I have ever watched and you know a book is always better than a movie. 😀
Okay, back to the movie.😀 Lead roles are belong to Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. We also see another great actress here; Helena Bonham Carter. She is one of my favourite actresses. Whenever I see her in a movie or something I realize that see makes the movie perfect. 😍😍 And Fight Club was no different.
Okay, story of the movie is about a guy who is particularly nobody. Just a random guy in a random job and all that jazz. His name is Jack and he is suffering from insomnia. Something really hard to deal with... And in Jack's case, it's just getting worse and worse.
But one day, he accidently finds a solution to his problem: Going to the therapy groups. Every one of them. Doesn't matter if it is about breast cancer of loosing an organ. Or psychological ones. He just attends all of them and everything goes well. He can sleep well. He can use his brain well...
Until one day... That thay he realises there is one more person that abuses those sessions. After realising her, he gets worse again. Like going back to the square one. He gets anooyed just by seeing her. And this feeling never fades away. So he makes a deal with her, Marla Singer. They will share the sessions. Both of them agrees on that solution. Even though Jack's insomnia gets a little better, actually the situation is quite opposite.
While he is returning his home from one of his trips, he meets a very strange guy; Tyler Durden. A shabby looking guy with a brain that works a very strange way. Like knowing how to do a bomb with nothing more than daily supplies. A soap, for example. Jack gets annoyed. Doesn't like the guy but still, secretly gets jealous of him. Because this Tyler guy can do anything he wants, go wherever he wants and says anything he wants. So yeah, whats not to get jealous of, right? 😃 At some point of their conservation Tyler gives his card to Jack. Jack believes that he will never use it but still keeps it.
He gets home but right before entering the building, his apartment explodes. Shocker here, huh? 😒 Right after that, not knowing what to do, he just stares for a while. But then he does something that he thought he will never do and calls Tyler. Yeah, that Tyler. 😃
Jack finds Tyler at a bar and after a little chat, they decide to go out. Tyler says Jack that he should let go all those things that he is attached to. His goods, his house, his job... And then asks Jack to hit him. (Psycho alert here 😒) Even though Jack refuses at first, finally he hits Tyler with everything he has. After a point they both start to laugh while still beating the crap out of each other. 😃 And some guys see them. First they find it odd but then they join Tyler and Jack.
After a long session they finally go to Tyler's house but please don't be fooled with 'house' word. Because that damn place is a total wreck. 😃 I mean, roof is leaking and there is not a single piece of furniture that can be used properly. Electricity is going on and off and there is no hot water. Hell, only water there is hardly clean. But they get along, somehow.
One night Marla calls Jack and says she is committing suicide but she also thinks that she might did it for some attention. Jack refuses to listen and leaves the receiver hanging. Then after an hour or so he sees Marla in his new house. Doesn't understand a thing but then Marla tries to hug him. Jack doesn't just refuses to hug her but also kicks her out of the house. Marla doesn't understand but after swearing at him, she leaves.
Jack also gets a phone call from the police officer who says that explosion was a setup. He doesn't understand. But no matter what happens both of the guys keep fighting and with time, they kinda open a place, fight club. There is only one rule of that club, do not talk about fight club. But of course people talk and new members join the club. It just spreads like a fire. Even though he is not happy about that improvement about Marla, he is generally happy with his life. Especially that fight club thing...
But in time, somethings begin to happen. Things that he doesn't understand or gets acknowledged. Or like. He doesn't like Tyler taking everything to his hands and he definitely doesn't like the way things are going. So he tries to interfere but it doesn't effect anything. And after planning a very big plot that Jack doesn't know Tyler just disappears. Jack tries to find him but he can't succeed. When Marla comes to his house he yells at her and says Tyler is gone. Marla doesn't understand what he is talking about, again. 😃
Next day while Jack's walking on the street some guy from the sessions he once attended,calls him Tyler. First he gets confused but after a few incidents like that he finally gets what's going on. And a really thrilling, uptight race between Jack and Tyler. Or Jack and himself. 😃
I'm not gonna tell how the movie ended. I already said too much. 😃 Like I said at the beginning of my post, it was one of the best movies I have ever watched. It was mounted really well. I liked some details actually, like you can't see Marla and Tyler at the same picture. Ever. When there are some people around Tyler and Jack, they only talk to one of them and don't acknowledge the other.
I strongly advise all of you to watch Fight Club if you didn't watch it already. 😃 And before I leave, I'mma leave you guys a song here. Hope you enjoy it. Take care! 😊
