Indeed, fight club is dumb

[Wayne]

I keep hearing Fight Club is supposed to have some important, enlightening message in it, but personally I think it is a pretty stupid movie..


I mean, if after you've seen a movie 5 times and still doing get 90% of it, does that make it a cool movie? Or a peice of crap?

Does that mean I am to dumb to get it? Or you aren't supposed to get it??

Either way, all that "clever" stuff in movies, is sometimes a great waste of time..

Cool scene's, great acting, interesting, fun in parts.. But overall Stupid!

I think I just miss the point of it perhaps

What the hell are you saying here? Seriously, I think you used several wrong words and I'm confused. I get you don't get fight club, okay, but what does "doing get 90% of it" mean? Are you saying you don't get 90% of it?

If that's the case, I don't see how you could have watched it five times and don't get it. It's about a guy who is so dissatisfied with the life he's led that he creates an alternate persona to give himself meaning. He didn't have the courage to do it himself so he developed some cause that he didn't necessarily believe in to feel like he'd done something. The message is there, plain and simple, don't let the things surrounding you dictate who you are, you decide.

You hit the nail right on the head with this (rep coming your way soon). Having been a long time Chuck Palahniuk fan and fight club probably being my second or third favorite of his books.

You really should read the book. The movie did a good job capturing what it could, but like I said if you really want to get the full effect of this great piece of work read the book.

Just to clear something up. The movie actually flopped in box office numbers. Not til it came out on DVD did it really start picking up momentum and stir and then quickly became a Cult Classic.

I'm actually looking forward to August when Chuck Palahniuks book "Choke" hits the big screen. I really hope they do the book justice.

Indeed it is a crap movie probably one of the most overrated films ever.

I liked the twist ending but yeah the plot for the most part was retarded.
