I won't be talking about Fight Club: but I will give you the 8 Rules of Fight Club: 1st Rule: You do not talk about Fight Club, 2nd Rule: YOU DO NOT. TALK. ABOUT FIGHT CLUB, 3rd Rule: Fighter yells "stop," goes limp, taps out, the fight's over, 4th Rule: Two fighters to a fight, 5th Rule: One fight at a time, fellas. 6th Rule: No shirt, no shoes, 7th Rule Fights go as long as they have to, 8th Rule If this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight. The unnamed individual and narrator/other names [Edward Norton:] that suffers with insomnia, he works for Blinds Insurance  [apologies if I have gotten is wrong it quickly gets referenced once in this film;] basically a Federal Motor Company that goes around looking at vehicle accidents; in his free time he goes to these group session therapies, we also meet Tyler Durden [Brad Pitt:] he works in the wonderful world of soap: Paper Street Soap Company and between them they come up with this thing I can't speak of and we have Marla Singer [Marla Singer:] we eventually first meet her in these group therapy sessions.

Generally speaking: character developments, action, comedy framework and pacing of this 139 minutes film very much embodies watch this movie is all about really and art; we have unnamed individual/other names/Norton providing us with narration consistently throughout the movie, which provides three-dimensional character developments on some of the characters we meet obviously including himself, including but not limited to some dark comedy references such as kicking his own butt; to make sure that it sounds like and looks like someone else was handing his butt to him; so as you can imagine the framework or/and the pacing just has to keep things mobile as it will just smoothly move throughout this movie, without interrupting the dark tone of this project; either by a combined effort scene construction and consequently lighting or not or the all round the attention to detail; but one thing is for certain all of these aspects combined to make this very real, dark, gritty, slightly comical and obedient to society norms project to life.

Character developments and performances; now I don't understand why this film has negative awards accredited to its name on any level, because without giving too much away, but clearly enough to make my point; these characters are a product of their surroundings, which gives these characters a layer of authenticity amongst clearly being in-depth, because this is normal for them, which I will tell later some of the negative accredited awards; but as I have already indicated I don't understand why?... In a nutshell main cast and some of the supporting cast are three-dimensional characters and individuals.

So based on these character developments these performances are spot on incarnations/reflections of these character types; their chemistry is free-flowing masterpieces of cinematic history; everyone owned and made their characters regardless of the size the role in question.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; this is absolutely represents the late, very late 90's and very early 2000's very best of filmmaking and cinema, I very recently had the pleasure of seeing this film with the person I watch some of this content with at the cinema on the big screen, so if you have the time and it is on at your local cinema, I can't recommend this enough, you must go and see it or if you don't have this option; it must be seen on a big screen that is for sure or if you can't do that either whatever happens you must see this film once in a lifetime. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 12 Winners Positive: which includes but not limited to Empire Awards, UK 2000 Empire Award Best British Actress Helena Bonham Carter and Jupiter Award 2000 Jupiter Award Best International Actor Edward Norton. 38 Nominees Positives: Academy Awards, USA 2000 Oscar Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing Ren Klyce Richard Hymn and Awards Circuit Community Awards 1999 ACCA Best Cast Ensemble Edward Norton Brad Pitt Helena Bonham Carter Meat Loaf Zach Grenier.
