Undoubtedly, one of the best films ever made. Everything about the film is frickin' perfect. I know the first two rules of fight club. Even then, I’ll always talk about fight club because that is what it means to me. EPIC!

Every single time I have seen this movie, I saw the deeper meaning the author was trying to convey with the story. It’s actually a very deep movie that revolves around identification with form. In the movie, the narrator (Edward Norton) provides us a detailed overview of his condo, where he goes into very fine detail about all the possessions he owns and how they define him as a person; how he deals with the aftermath of his actions. Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is ubiquitous. He is the main thing! One has to watch this movie multiple times in order to understand it. In case you forgot the plot, ultimately, it’s about blowing up all the credit card buildings in order to eliminate the debt record. In our debt = money world, such an event would not only destroy the debt record, it would also destroy the money supply. We don't own anything; it is the thing that owns us! Here is just one of the many mind blowing dialogues from this movie,
"You are 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."
If this doesn’t excite you, I don’t know what will!! And I don’t want to spoil more for you if you haven’t watched this movie or even if you have watched it, because ONE CAN SIMPLY NOT INTERPRET THIS MOVIE! One thing is certain though, after watching it, you will be in awe!
