Description of this Fight Club Poster
"Fight Club is a 1999 American psychological thriller film directed by David Fincher and based on the novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk, published three years earlier. The main roles are played by Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter. Norton plays the role of an anonymous narrator, an impersonal philistine who is dissatisfied with his life in a post-industrial, white-collar consumer society. He creates an underground organization called "Fight Club" with Tyler Durden, a soap salesman. played by Brad Pitt.
The film was not well received by audiences and critics after its release and only grossed $37 million at the North American box office compared to the $63 million invested in its production. Ten years after its release, the influential New York Times published an article by Dennis Lim calling Fight Club "the most significant cult film of our time." It is ranked among the top 20 films by IMDb and appears in many other such rankings. One of the films that provoked the most public reactions in the 1990s.
The tone of the film is set by the opening shots, which show the frenetic movement of a nerve impulse (which can be interpreted as pain, fear or thought) through a maze of nerve fibers in brain tissue of the narrator. These images already hint at the essence of what will be shown later. The linear narrative begins after a brief but effective flash-forward and several confusing attempts by the protagonist to decide where to begin his story.
The narrator (Edward Norton) is a typical yuppie, an unnamed 30-year-old man. Working in the offices of an automobile company, he spends a lot of time traveling to accident sites. In his free time, he furnishes his apartment with IKEA furniture (“What kind of furniture can be used to characterize my personality?”). It seems to him that a few more purchases and there will be nothing left to covet. “We used to read pornography, now we read Horchow catalogs,” he reflects on his domestic conformity.
The narrator suffers from insomnia and is often unable to distinguish sleep from reality. Instead of a cure, the doctor suggests that he exercise and, more seriously, attend a gathering of men with testicular cancer to see men suffer for real. There the protagonist meets Fat Bob, a former bodybuilder who abused steroids (Mit Lough). The protagonist's confrontation with real suffering and the loss of his masculinity allows him to emerge from his gloom and regain a little vitality. Every day, at the end of his work, begins for him the obscure life of a "vampire" who feeds on the misery of others.
As he visits more and more groups of sick people, he notices a second impostor, one Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter). His philosophy is that one can die at any time; the tragedy is that it doesn't happen. Likewise, the Narrator, on each plane trip, cherishes the hope of dying in a plane crash. The Narrator and Marla try to divide the groups they visit so as not to overlap. However, the encounter with the "double" unbalances the hero and insomnia takes over.
Returning from a new business trip, the hero meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a soap manufacturer and seller, in the cabin. Arriving from the airport at his well-appointed and comfortable home, the narrator is horrified to discover that the apartment has been completely destroyed by a massive explosion: "The explosion didn't just destroy a pile of scrap metal, it m 'destroyed !" Something tells the shocked hero that he can call Tyler and find support in him. The conversation he has with Tyler at a nearby restaurant shows him that the man is no stranger to narrow-mindedness: "What you have gets you," is his motto. Tyler leads an unusual life: he indulges in strange antics, which the narrator describes as a "fight against the system". While working as a projectionist, Tyler would insert short cuts into home movies with pornographic scenes (most often of male penises) that would jump out at the audience in a split second; and when he was a waiter, he spit and defecated in the food served to customers.
Tyler pushes the firebrand to ask to stay at his place, which he immediately agrees to. Immediately afterwards, Tyler asks the narrator, present at the bar, to hit him. Despite initial dismay, the Narrator grants this strange request. After beating each other up, the contented friends head to Tyler's dilapidated but spacious place in the vacant lot. Later, they "finish" their dose of beating in the parking lot. Their strange relationship attracts a crowd of interested people and a "fight club" is born in the basement of the bar. Tyler is quick to formulate a series of commandments for the recruits: "The first rule of the club: do not mention the fight club...".
Tyler makes a living making high-quality fat soaps, which he steals from liposuction clinics: "We were selling rich women their own fat butts." One day, Marla takes a dangerous dose of sleeping pills and contacts the Narrator on the phone. The conversation is intercepted by Tyler: he takes her to his house and has an intimate relationship with her. Their moans echo throughout the house, awakening in the Narrator envy of his companion's sexual exploits and the infantile feeling that Tyler and Marla are his parents. Under Tyler's leadership, Fight Club gradually transforms into Project Mayhem, undertaking increasingly destructive acts of vandalism under the slogan of fighting today's zombifying consumer society. The explosive growth of the project and its acts of violence frighten the narrator, who gradually withdraws from his activities.
After a heated argument and a car accident, Tyler disappears from the Narrator's life. When Bob (who also joined the club and became one of the "black arms" of Project Mayhem) is killed during a mission, the Narrator attempts to stop the subversion. Following Tyler's trail, the Narrator discovers fight clubs in every major city across the country, and their members mistake him for Tyler. A phone call to Marle confirms the Narrator's intuition that Tyler is himself, or rather the side of his personality that he tries hard not to display (his alter ego). Tyler appears before his eyes, explaining that he takes possession of the Narrator's body every time he sleeps, that he is a projection, a blob of his displaced desires. So, all of Tyler's actions were committed by the Narrator himself, and he also destroyed his own "glamorous" apartment.
After waking up from several hours of unconsciousness, the narrator discovers that, during this time, Tyler has managed to make several phone calls. The hero discovers that Tyler is preparing the destruction of large financial companies. He attempts to contact the police, but discovers that they are also part of Project Mayhem. The narrator attempts to defuse an explosive device placed in one of the office buildings himself. He is confronted by Tyler, who takes advantage of the hero's unconsciousness to lead him to the top floor at gunpoint, in order to demonstrate the power of the explosions that will soon hit the city. The narrator finally realizes that he and Tyler, despite his split personality, share the same body. Deciding to take advantage, he shoots himself in the mouth. The bullet passes through the narrator's cheek, while Tyler is shot in the back of the head. Tyler's alter ego dies and the hero regains his consciousness and his unity of personality.
In the finale, the members of Project Mayhem return Marla, whom they kidnapped, to the Narrator and leave them alone. Holding hands, the narrator and Marla observe through huge windows the collapse of the skyscrapers that represent America's financial power. The narrator takes Marla's hand and says, "We met at a strange time in my life. The last image before the credits shows a penis.
