Fight Club
I watched this movie a few days ago for the first time because I've seen it on many people's lists of favorite movies. I was disappointed. And I would not place it on my list of favorite movies.

The concept of a story focusing on an individual with multiple personality disorder is interesting and cool. And the way they tell the story by initially depicting two different people and gradually exposing the truth to the narrator as well as the viewer at the same time is cool. I just didn't like how it was wrapped around a huge magnitude of violence. I think they could've even kept the narrator's suppressed anti-consumerism and anti-corporate feelings without having a fight club. It was just bizarre and I don't think men would've flocked to it as they do in the movie. I wouldn't have. As I type this, I can't think of a specific alternative to the fight club. Maybe a bank robbery or some form of criminal activity. Kind of like in The Mask. Where Stanley Ipkis wakes up and realizes his closet is jam packed full of money that 'The Mask' stole from the bank the night before. I don't know. I just thought it was too violent.
