Fight Club, starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt,
and Helena Bonham Carter, is probably one of the best
movies ever to be made. Almost twenty-five years old,
it still ranks high on every chart, and as it should be, am
I right? Two hours and nineteen minutes full of poetic
beauty, redefining life as we know it and asking all the
questions we’re afraid to ask. It’s full of beautiful chaos
and havoc. From the very beginning, it’s enticing and
engaging, pulling you in for the rest of the movie.
Although the remaining scenes are the greatest scenes
of the entire movie, it’s the beginning that makes it the
best. And that is why I’m here to convince you to take a
little over two hours out of your life to watch this great masterpiece.
Now I’m not here to spoil everything or force my opinion onto yours, this is purely just
for fun, and if you haven’t seen it, hopefully after this you will. Because I swear, it’s so
remarkable. The movie starts with Edward Norton, who is our unnamed narrator, visiting all
these different kinds of therapy groups to help with his insomnia. For some reason, crying into
the arms of dying strangers feels better than any medicine. It makes him feel as close as he can
get to death without actually reaching it. And these therapy groups are where he meets Marla
Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) and exchange numbers to never see each other again, since
she’s stealing his spotlight. And with that, he moves on.
The narrator leaves the relieving feelings of the therapy groups and moves on to travel.
He loves taking random plane trips to nowhere in particular and staying at hotels with no ties to
anyone. Sitting next to random strangers is having friends you don’t have to be emotionally
available for. And this is where our lovely narrator meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Tyler Durden
is a charismatic, powerful soap maker the narrator instantly clings to. So after meeting him, the
narrator returns to his city to find his apartment blown to shreds. With no family, and no
friends, who is he supposed to call? Oh, wait! Tyler Durden gave him a business call with his
number on it. So guess what? Durden called him back.
The two meet up and head to a bar to drink and talk. As they’re walking out, Tyler looks
to the narrator and says, “Hit me.” And at first, you’re like what? What is this? Why would Tyler
want him to hit him just because? And I’ll admit, as a woman this part didn’t click as much. But I

want him to hit him just because? And I’ll admit, as a woman this part didn’t click as much. But I
can understand the relief of hitting and getting hit, it’s a pain that takes away other pains, and it
gives you the control you’re longing for. So after the narrator moves in with Tyler Durden in his
empty abandoned house, they use the bar parking lot as a place to beat the living crap out of
each other. They’ve built this whole routine together, and soon it gathers a crowd. But
obviously you can’t just sucker punch someone out in the open, they need to move it
underground. And that’s what begins their very own fight club.
Over time, it grows and grows. But the thing about fight club is how it’s casual regular
people gathering in this random basement to fight other casual regular people. Tyler creates
this list of rules for the fight club to make sure everything stays in check. Because the club isn’t
about abusing people and taking your anger out, it’s about manhood and the risk of death.
Everyone apart of fight club is finally in control of some part of their lives, it gives them a sense
of purpose now. Maybe they think they’re doing something good for the world, or maybe it’s
just for themselves. Either way, it’s a club they can depend on. And that’s what they need. It’s
beautiful in its very own strange way.
Soon, the club transforms into something much more. People are hearing story after
story about Tyler Durden, and these stories are traveling back to the narrator who’s pretty
much just like bro what is going on, I helped create this fight club too. And instead of finding
control over his life, it starts to untangle into a huge mess and gets out of hand. He’s going
crazy now and wants to push all these people out of his life because now it’s just taking over.
You can see the regret fill up inside the narrator. How is he going to stop it? I mean, at this
point he can either leave it all behind or continue with whatever he’s doing. But what happens
if he stops it, some too many people know and depend on him. Does the fight club continue
without him? Does it take over on its own? Although nothing can thrive without a leader. How
did Tyler Durden randomly pop up in his life out of nowhere and completely change it? Who
really is Tyler Durden? I swear, you must watch it.
Now I know I’m just some seventeen-year-old girl who doesn’t really understand the
concepts of manhood and what’s it all about, but I promise you this movie is worth it. You may
be a happy person and think of yourself as a selfless, optimistic kind of person, which I’m not
saying you aren’t! Nevertheless, at one point we’ve all felt like Fight Club. We’ve all thought like
Fight Club. We’ve all been like Fight Club. But one thing you need to know. Don’t talk about
