Fight Club (1999): Why David Fincher's 1999 Masterpiece Is MORE Relevant Today

  • サマリー

  • Ben and Rob break the first rule of ‘Fight Club’ and talk about why this David Fincher masterpiece is more controversial today than audiences found it on its 1999 release. Starring Brad Pitt, Ed Norton Helena Bonham Carter, ‘Fight Club’ follows an unnamed Narrator as his friendship with a charismatic soap salesman devolves from underground fight clubs into domestic terrorism. Met with confused concern at the time of its release, ‘Fight Club’ flopped at the cinema but soared to unseen heights for its DVD release. Now sitting as the number one most viewed film on Letterboxd.com, we explore how the making of this movie perfectly reflects its themes and still, despite controversy, shines.

    But what inspired author Chuck Palahnuik to write the novel on which this film is based? Who was David Fincher’s secret weapon in the writing room ? Is this film maliciously misogynistic or is there a deeper subtext to Marla Singer’s unsympathetic portrayal? And have we, in fact, discovered the secret meaning of the film that completely upends it’s status as a Sigma male ‘bro culture’ masterpiece?

    CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!
