Just to start out Fight Club is probably one of my all time favorite movies. Having said that I never got to see it theatrically and didn't even see it until about three years after its release. So naturally I was extremely excited to see this on the big screen. Having to travel through icy conditions I go to the theater and it surprisingly filled up a good majority of the way. The only problem that I had with this showing was that the film was a little fucked up, the sound would cut out of Dolby and sound like crap for a minute a lot throughout the film and the film was pieced together badly. There was a piont in the movie where the film jumped ahead about fifteen minutes (for about 10 seconds) then went back, and the cock shot at end credits appeared to br edited out. (I'm not bitching just stating a fact) First lets start out with a trailer ...
Seriously they need to play this movie soon.
On to the feature presentation, if you didn't know what this movie was about here is a really brief description. An office employee and a soap salesman build a global organization to help vent male aggression. (Thanks IMDb)to start out this movie is very visually appealing, it nicely blends a mix of the actual film with zooming and sweeping CG shots. Not only that but David Fincher has a great eye for the grittiness and detail in this movie. I'm not sure that any one else would be able to capture everything in this movie as well as Fincher could. On to the story, if you actually pay attention th alot of the dialog you shold be able to tell that The Narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person. it was done is such a good way though that you actually never see either of them interact with anyone else at the same time, the other one of them is always in the background. Early on in the picture there is just a few flashes (single frames) of Tyler until The Narrator says "If you wake up at a different time in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?", thats when Tyler takes over and starts doing everything through The Narrator. Enough with all of this jabbering, now lets get on with some interesting sceens ...
Four frames of Tyler
Surprise me.
Motherfucker! You hit me in the ear!
Fight Club begins
Don't worry it's not a threat to you
To make soap, first we render fat.
You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.
I felt like destroying something beautiful.
First person that comes out this fucking door gets a... gets a lead salad, you understand?
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Ok, you are now firing a gun at your 'imaginary friend' near 400 GALLONS OF NITROGLYCERINE!
My eyes are open.
