This movie looks like something made by the opposite of a New York college student.  Someone smart actually made this movie, or at least the underlying meaning of it seems that way.

Charlie finds he is dead inside with all of the marketing and commercialization surrounding him.  To define himself, he buys commercial things.  To define others, he does the same thing.  He starts going to support groups when a doctor recommends what real trouble is.  He suddenly starts to feel alive in side at the misery of others.  He also gets to see people give him the time of day.  A woman, one he calls a tourist, enters some of his and he is distraught.  Awhile later he meets another man on a plane, in a very similar predicament as him.   Charlie later finds his house burned to a crisp and has the option of calling the woman, or calling his new friend, Tyler Durdst.  He calls Tyler and all hell breaks lose as he starts to see a side of himself he’s never seen before.  They soon form Fight Club.

What is the first rule of Fight Club?  Do not talk about Fight Club.   I’ve already broken that rule, so I’ll stop here.  I’ll just say, watch this movie, it’s definitely a good one that raises some philosophical issues of today’s society and commercialism, but that isn’t what the movie is about.  You’ll see in the end of it.
