Yeesh, I must rally the Spacemonkeys to come and defend 'Fight Club.'

I suppose the story line is far fetched and difficult to swallow, but truth be told there are conditions just like this, it really can happen. Whether or not that helps make the movie any more believable...though it definately seems as though everyone here has made up their mind on this movie.

I'll try and spell out why exactly it is that I like this movie. First and foremost, and even theta agrees on this one, the performances turned in by Norton and Pitt are stellar, and these are two actors that I really like and like to watch on screen, Helena Bonham and Meatloaf were also very good. The second reason was I could identify with the character of Jack/Tyler...granted, I haven't read the book...but the speech about their generation, my generation, being the middle children of history, definately struck a chord with me. There have been times when I have absolutely felt this way and times when I haven't. I have no idea about the age or backgrounds of the other posters here, but perhaps this film and message has a greater impact on a certain target (though I could be wrong, you could all be just like me, and theta like the book, so who knows.) But those are the main reasons. I guess all I can say is I really liked the story and the way it was presented. I would really like to know what specifically turned you guys off to the film, if it was anything other than just the storyline.

You'll proabaly be hearing from me again. Though I like posts like this where people disagree, I can only imagine on the 'Shawshank' thread it will be an endless about of praise for the film (I loved it.)
