Fight Club REVIEW

Bob joins Fight Club.

Gabe wanted to watch it. I said sure. A review of Fight Club (1999) dir. David Fincher. As always, spoilers.

That twist sure was something. It kinda blew my mind, but made me feel stupid for not seeing it coming. The main character doesn't have a name, and so many other clues made a ton of sense immediately.

I think it's really interesting how MC's dissociation works. Like, he runs through the gas station to grab the worker and goes around it at the same time to meet himself out back. Or he's sitting on the floor meditating, while he's distracted by himself doing what he does upstairs with Marla Singer. He can't be in two places at once, of course. As Kiara would say, that's crazy work.

This soundtrack goes hard. At many points in the movie, I had to point out how amazing the score is half a dozen times while watching. I love the Jungle / DnB type stuff they have going on, somewhere between Massive Attack and Cavestar. (I'm not too familiar with DnB as a genre, so I can't be more specific. But it's like the ending to "Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)" but 12 times more precise. I'd listen to this type of stuff in the car.

Do you think Robert Paulsen is named after Rob Paulsen? Also MC talks about green doors 10 minutes into the movie.

8/10 makes me wanna marry my girlfriend that I don't have
