Fight Club (1999)

I have to say that when I saw David Fincher's film " Fight Club " when it first came out I didn't like it. I'm not too sure why. The film struck me as being over produced & a bit pretencions. After seeing it twice I have to say that the film has grown on me, and I see Fincher's genius at work. The film isn't just about a couple of boys starting a "fight club", but something a lot more. Finchers films are dark, and brooding films with an undercurrent of subversiveness that makes one smile. " Se7en ", " Aliens 3 " The Game ", " Panic Room " & " Fight Club " all have several themes running through them. What these films also have in common is their darkness. In Fincher's world the world is not beautiful but filled with decay, and violence. Fincher photographs and presents these worlds in their own beauty. I would compare Fincher to dirctor David Lynch, but Fincher is more rough, and sinister....

I just read an interesting interview by Scott Tobias on the blog avclub . Go check it out. The most interesting tidbit of info that Norton talks about is independent film and the climate of production in today's market: "I think there's more ways to get a movie made today then ever in the history of the entertainment industry. It's a very exciting time to work in movies, if you're a creative person looking to make a very personal, weird vision."
