    Talking About Fight Club

    Stepping down into the cinemas in 199,9, David Fincher’s “Fight club” wasn’t well revered. Today however, stands at a different ground as it’s dark satire behind graphic beatings, vandalism, and bombings got acknowledged.  Set between the narrator’s depression and Tyler’s freedom from the modern world, the latter’s character appealed to the audience (the male audience to be precise). Such a charming, ripped and totally off-the-grid virile character can only cease to exist in imagination (which he did).  Awning consumerism, modernity, rebellion, sacrifice, repression, and a plethora of subjects Fight Club today stands as a Cult Classic. Just around its 20th anniversary some members of our society revisited Fight Club and broke its First rule!
