    definitely a classic, just the way the whole thing progressed and came to be, i loved every second of it, the first time i watched it i just spent the whole night awake and watched it like three times, but thats just the way i am.

    i saw it a while ago and its one of the influences that made me start to look at the world in a different light, and see the way the imbalances are spread

    the movie is not about marxism, chuck palahniuk didnt write a book about marxism nor is it about anarchism, the main reason for the "fight clubs" are for support groups or male bonding. thats what i got from the movie. great movie one of my favorite but i wouldnt call it a masterpiece grab the DVD special edition if you can find it . it has 4 commentary tracks.

    This movie kicks ass. Edward Norton is brillant. Definetly one of my favorite movies.

    You didn&#39;t think project Mayhem was all about Anarchy? The point was to bring down the credit card companies and credit reporting agencies bringing everyone back to zero.

    Look at some of the actions of project Mayhem. Blowing up corporate art, taking out a corporate coffee shop.....etc.

    My take on the fighting clubs, was relative to the speech in the bar to Ed Nortons character at the beginning. That it wasn&#39;t so much about male bonding as to bringing man back to a more primal existance.

    Remember after the car crash, when Tyler is talking to Ed Norton lying in bed? His vision of the future? With people cooking venison on the interstate highways?

    Great movie. My favorite scene is still the airplane scene...." A water landing at 600 mph? The people as calm as Hindu cows...The illusion of safety"
    Verily poor as we are in democracy, how can we give of it to the world? A democracy conceived in the military servitude of the masses, in their economic enslavement, and nurtured in their tears and blood, is not democracy at all

    An excelent film, if you like films with twists then watch the Usual Suspects or LA Confidential.

    I loved Fight Club. It really makes me think. Sometimes I make real life connections with that movie. Also made me analyse situations in a variety of ways. I can relay with Edward Nortons character &#39;Jack&#39; when he is in the insomnia and he sees himself as Tyler (Brad Pitt).

    Watch the movie.Look at the way they worship tyler durden.Even on the amazon.com synopsis of the movie they say that fight club"spirals out of control into a fascist revolution".Tyler makes everyone dress in black,the color of the Mussolini fascists.He says "bring two blackshirts".The fascist rebels in Italy were called "blackshirts".

    I thought it was about male bonding.
    The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs&#39; radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One&#39;s troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.

    thats what i thought even Meatloaf&#39;s character (guy with big tits) said he found a new group. it seemed to make a drastic change however when Tyler Durden started Project Mayhem everyone wanted to be apart of it they didnt want to lose that male bonding it was like the support groups at the begining of the film it was an addiction

    Male bonding a go-go&#33;
    Lots of homosexual undetones and shit like that (Tyler says another woman&#39;s not the answer they need). All this repressed bullshit about hating their fathers too.

    I enjoyed it the first time, and the second time was even better, but the third time I just saw too many flaws...I find it difficult to enjoy films these days without seeing flaws at every turn.

    I didn&#39;t like this shit about being "God&#39;s unwanted children".
    It reminded me of certain people...

    People want to be "God&#39;s unwanted children" because they feel rejected by God (or the establishment) and by becoming God&#39;s unwanted children they&#39;re replacing that rejection with it&#39;s antithesis.

    They want to be wanted by the group which is the unwanted children of God.
    They latch onto their rejection and turn it into something to cling too.

    Cani,good points here.I have seen it twice,and honestly I enjoyed it better the first time around.The second time I saw it I picked up on more,and the more extra stuff I picked up on the less I enjoyed the movie.One example was the God&#39;s unwanted children thing

    There is definately an anachist side to it but you have to filter out "war" things etc

    If you watch/listen carefully there is actually a great "plan" in which leftists should......."take note" h34r:
