Fight Club is simple one of the best movies I've ever seen for many reasons, first, as someone else also stated I feel very identified with the Narrator simply because of one line: "The things you own end up owning you", it reflects the sense of consumism on our society, specially with males between the ages of 25-30 that are single, away from home and earning their own money.
And about if the twist in the story is beleivable or not I've always seen Fight Club something like "possible" sci-fi, I mean, some things are really unbelievable but can actually happen and that adds to the shock value.
No one else has mentioned the incredible score that The Dust Brothers created for this film, it's awesome! I remember that when I saw the movie in the theather the opening sequence made me think that I was inside a club or a discoteque. I'll gladly buy a double-dip of the DVD if they add a DTS track and an isolated score track.
The acting is totally believable, I never saw the twist coming and I was very surprised!, it was until that the Narrator called Marla on the phone and asked her his name: "Your name is Tyler Durden!" that I accepted the truth.
Ï also read the novel before the movie and found the differences very amusing, like the fact that they made soap using Marla's mother fat...
Another thing I noticed both in the book and the movie is that the Narrator/Tyler never mentions his mother, only the lack of the father figure and his dissapointment in god... the line: "If you are white and living in the US then your image of god is your father" or something like that.
That's all I think of by now... let's see some more discussion.
