Tay's Rating- :D :D :D :D

Summary: A nameless first person narrator Edward Norton attends support groups in attempt to subdue his emotional state and relieve his insomniac state. When he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), another fake attendee of support groups, his life seems to become a little more bearable. However when he associates himself with Tyler (Brad Pitt) he is dragged into an underground fight club and soap making scheme. Together the two men spiral out of control and engage in competitive rivalry for love and power. When the narrator is exposed to the hidden agenda of Tyler's fight club, he must accept the awful truth that Tyler may not be who he says he is.

Interesting Facts: When the Narrator hits Tyler Durden in the ear, Edward Norton actually did hit Brad Pitt in the ear. He was originally going to fake hit him, but before the scene, David Fincherpulled Norton aside and told him to hit him in the ear. After Norton hit him in the scene, you can see him smiling and laughing while Pitt is in pain.

-In the short scene when Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are drunk and hitting golf balls, they really are drunk, and the golf balls are sailing directly into the side of the catering truck.

-When a Fight Club member sprays the priest with a hose, the camera briefly shakes. This happens because the cameraman couldn't keep himself from laughing.

-In the scene where the narrator is popping a mint into his mouth, a promotional video of the Bridgeworth Suites is playing on the television. You can see that one of the hotel employees in the commercial is Brad Pitt. He is the one to the left of the TV screen.

-David Fincher claimed in an interview in UK film magazine Empire, that there is a Starbucks coffee cup visible in every shot in the movie

-Brad Pitt and Edward Norton both really learned how to make soap.

-Filming lasted 138 days, with over 300 scenes shot on 200 locations and 72 sets constructed by production designer Alex McDowell

-Helena Bonham Carter wore platform shoes to help close up the disparity in height between her and Edward Norton and Brad Pitt.

My Review: This movie was amazing because of the psychological part of the film. The film showed point of view of the main character, the narrator/Tyler Durden. Most of the movie was confusing and mindf**ked at the same time but it had an interesting story. The narrator/Tyler Durden has something going on in his head that he doesn't know but the viewers do (Foreshadowing part). The cast is so well picked! The amazing cast was Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and the rest of the cast. I was not excepting to see Jared Leto to be in this film. It was a cameo part but he did the part well. The cinematography was well done to be honest. No spoilers over here but towards to the end, it all makes sense. So watch carefully and you won’t get confused. :D
