Fight Club is the next in what will undoubtedly be a long line of successes for David Fincher. The movie, in my opinion, is the definitive work on males in today's society. The film - in its own masterful way - chronicles the gradual immasculization of man as he evolved from the hunter gatherers that we once were, relying on instinct and cunning to survive to the tie wearing, office working drones that we have quickly become and in the process losing the instinct that made man - an animal - what he was.
It is in these 'fight clubs' that man finds his true self again and gains strength from others. The setting for the film is the michrochasm 'sin city' that we saw in Fincher's masterpiece, Seven and his use of dark colors, shadow and clever splicing - look for split second shots of Tyler Durden in different scenes in the first twenty minutes of the movie - to make the story come alive.
This movie will be greatly enjoyed by anyone that has ever wondered what it would be like to just let go.
