I have too many good things to say about it. Brilliant camera work. The whole way it's put together is just amazing. A great script. Gosh need I say more. GO AND BUY THE MOVIE!

One Word
I will give you one word by which you can judge the social discourse in which this film engages in: rationalization. Go read Max Weber.

Another sociological theory in which this movie carries the spirit of is the whole idea of habitus of the body (read Pierre Bourdieu, especially Distinction).

This film engages in a strong sociopolitical discourse of rationalization in modern society and the inescapability of the "iron cage"

That being said, I think this is an extremely well done movie, and a very good book (though I do think the movie is better). Perhaps one of Edward Norton's finest (up there with American History X).

What a trip! But certainly not for everyone.
I dont think there is enough space to explain what this movie is about so I wont go into detail. However, the central plot is about a disgruntled yuppie who is in search of something more, a higher meaning to life, of trying to break out of the zombie mentality that he sees all around in society. The movie was beautifully filmed, many scenes have a 'trippy' feel to them and I think you only really start to appreciate that the second time you watch the film. The lead actors are incredible. I am no fan of Brad Pitt, but he did a tremendous job. Norton, as always, gives a killer performance (its only a matter of time until this buy has a shelf full of Oscars). In terms of a DVD package, this rocks. Two discs worth of insane Fight Club goodness including 4...yes I did say 4 commentary tracks. This movie is likely to leave you disturbed (much the same as say a movie like A Clockwork Orange)and it is supposed to, giving you something to think about long after you've turned off the tv.
