L.As a 3-year-old child, Muriel was an extremely mischievous, spoiled, and silly toddler. As David Berman once said: "I'm afraid I've got more in common with who I was than who I am becoming." If this sentence makes any sense to you, go see Fight Club.
These people will appreciate Fight Club for what it is: a wake up call that we are not alone. These people will not only recognize the similarities between Edward Norton's character and themselves-they will be uncomfortably familiar with him. I must change before I am forever stuck being the person that I am not." These people, they will know what I'm talking about. I would not do/say/feel what it is that I just did/said/felt. I would argue that anyone caught, at some point in their lives, between a rock and a hard place-anyone who has reached bottom on a mental level-anyone who has uttered to themselves "Wait, this isn't right. It is about waking up and realizing that at some point in the past we've gone to the toilet and thrown up our dreams without even realizing that society has stuck its fingers down our throat. I'd go as far as to say that this film is not about violence.
THE KLUB 17 WIKI MOVIE
Perhaps these comments will not make sense to the average movie goer who will dismiss this film-and, unfortunately, its premise-as another hollywood flick filled with gratuitous violence. I will say that I cannot recall *ever* having been "asked" by a film to both suspend my disbelief the way this film asks in its third act AND at the same time come to terms with an understanding that there is no room-or need-for disbelief. Rather, it presents actions for us to think about. My main interest in the film is in that, in my opinion, it does not present characters for us to think about.
In addition to presenting a rather fresh take on life, FC also presents its material in a fresh way. Its central theme of male machismo (and the anti-social behavior that flows from it) is emphatically rejected by the central character in the concluding reels." For the 2007 Definitive Edition DVD re-release of the movie in the UK, all previous cuts were waived, and the film was released with the deleted four seconds reinstated.įight Club is one of the most unique films I have ever seen. In fact, they actually came to the defense of the film, pointing out that "the film as a whole is - quite clearly - critical and sharply prodigy of the amateur fascism which in part it portrays.
Interestingly however, prior to the release of the film, the BBFC was petitioned to ban the film altogether, but they refused, disputing claims that it contained "dangerously instructive information" and could "encourage anti-social behavior". The BBFC argued that these cuts were made because of "excessively sustained violence" and "an indulgence in the excitement of beating a defenseless man's face into a pulp". In the scene where Lou ( Peter Iacangelo) beats up Tyler ( Brad Pitt), an overhead shot as Tyler receives a punch to the face is missing, and in the scene where The Narrator ( Edward Norton) beats up Angel Face ( Jared Leto), the third punch in the first load of hits, as well as several hits as his face becomes bloodied during the last load of hits have been removed. For the UK theatrical release of the film, the BBFC removed a total of four seconds from two scenes.
