Fight Club

When I had heard about Fight Club before, I never found any desire to see it because I thought of it as simply a straightforward fight movie which had no interest to me. After seeing it for this class, it has to be one of the most %^&*ed up movies I have ever seen. I still liked it, but it was certainly a trip. I noticed early on in the movie that other than the scene where Tyler steals the car at the airport, nobody reacts to him except for the real Tyler. At first I thought that was a bit weird, but of course as the movie progressed it made perfect sense. As for Tyler's comment about the moment with no distinction or great battles, it was kind of true at the time. There really wasn't anything spectacular going on in the world at the end of the 90's, and there wasn't a foreseeable war either. Of course now this is definitely a time of distinction with the Iraq war, history being made by black men leading the country and winning the super bowl... stuff like that.
