Fight Club (1999) is a movie starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. Both actors are known for their acting skills. This movie starts with a man suffering from Insomnia, trying to find a pastime to get indulged. But he couldn't find one. He meets a girl,Marla Singer(Helena Bonham Carter) who interrupts his regular sessions.
Then he meets the great Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), along with whom he starts the Fight Club. The Fight Club gets popular among men (strictly for men) especially the insomniacs. Meanwhile Tyler gets in touch with Marla. The Fight club quickly grows as a powerful underground organisation performing various acts of vandalism. Tyler is planning something big with these well trained men of fight club, who are ready to do anything for Tyler. Tyler has built an army ready to destroy the world for him. But he wants them to destroy only the Credit card companies, doing so might erase the debt records of the entire nation and so that everyone can start a fresh life.
Did Tyler Succeed in his Plan? Who is this Tyler? What happened to Marla? These questions are answered in the climax in the most unexpected and exciting manner. Ok Since this is a very old movie ill reveal the climax. Tyler durden is actually an alter ego of the man. He is Tyler. Tyler's well laid plans gave him success in his mission and also he gets the girl Marla.
My Favourite Fight Club Quotes/Dialogues:
- The things you own end up owning you.
- Welcome to Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club! Third rule of Fight Club: someone yells "stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: No shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
- You're 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.
- Fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns, I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let... lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.
- Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing. Like the first monkey shot into space.
- Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler.
