You can always write about "Fight Club", regardless of the fact that twenty-two years have passed since the premiere.

I watch movies and series all the time when I have the opportunity. I usually choose different genres and I really like original films. Among the films I talk about on almost every occasion is David Fincher's Fight Club. Fincher films occupy a special place in my viewing practice. I also wrote about them in one of my novels, Me and Lynn, Afterwards. "Fight Club" is one of
important Fincher films that I think I have seen more than 20 times. Both in the cinema and at home and on every occasion I have had. I think that one can always write about the "Fight Club", regardless of the fact that twenty-two years have passed since the premiere. It is based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Chuck Palanuk. Edward Norton, as the narrator (an extremely powerful acting game, with which Norton shows why he is one of the best actors of the 90s of the last century, focused on carefully vivisection of every psychological position that the character faces). Brad Pitt as the controversial Tyler Darden (acting perfect performance of the liberated
from every duty insane and insane at the same time). And Helena Bonham Carter as Marla Singer (Bonham Carter's incredible acting capacity in this film also confirms the long-held notion that there is no character she can not play sovereignly).

Why "Fight Club"? In the spirit of the film I should not give an explanation. But, from the perspective of one of the most important films for me, I need to mention a few important, significant, impressive elements that set this film apart from the crowd. Concentrating on consumerism and its ill effects, commercialism, pragmatism and the loss of the most important moral aspects of everyday life since the end of the last century, this film is the direct, controversial, "hairless" response or slap in the face to that society. Just like "Hamlet" in the world of drama and theater whose lines ("To be or not to be?" "What are you doing to Hekuba", "Saving my Horatio", "Go to a monastery" etc.) are known today, not to mention common places, so most replicas of Tyler Darden or Marla have become commonplace in the virtual "meme" world today ("The first rule of the Fight Club is that we do not talk about the Fight Club", "When you lose everything you are finally free "We are consumers, we buy things we do not need", "Space Monkey", "This is your life and it ends in this minute").

Palanuk's book was adapted by Fincher, who was guided by his basic idea of ​​depicting the transformation of the consumerist narrator into the controversial Tyler Darden cause, while developing a schizophrenic parallel between what he wants to be and what he really is. All of us rebels in search of freedom find ourselves in the midst of Tyler Darden's raid and Marla Singer's (un) emotional after we have overcome that innocent, insomniac narrator whose life story resembles that of almost everyone around us. For me, this film is a way of life, treating the world inside and around, at the same time, creating a world of its own which, in order to be built, pretends to be after all the towers around us are torn down and concretely and symbolically while we allow love to stands romantically committed to the moment of the collapse with the sounds of the cult "Where is my mind" by "Pixies".
