As these fight clubs have gotten lots of attention in the media and are apparently a big thing in the southern states of America.
9) Discuss the nature of power/relationships within the film, between director/ film maker and actions- why were they chosen?
The relationship between the characters and nature are seen to be very reluctant. As the characters are very “to them self’s” and are often trying to avoid other and tell lies to get out of of having to communicate in details, their problems! The alter ego effect is evident to have been important because it shows us both sides of good and evil within a regular human being. I think these characters played their roles very well, and would not suggest anyone else to take their role(s).
10) Is the focus of the film properly contextualized? How might the film be better (historically, culturally,
Through characterisation, the author is able to express the main idea of disempowerment and also allowing us as readers to feel discontented and upset towards the main character.
This movie gives us a perfect example of how a conflict was not handled effectively because assumptions were made, the character jumped to conclusion, due to this the issue became worse than it should have been. The communication dynamics in this was always done through someone else therefore one person would get upset, because he misunderstood the person that was giving him information.
The film Fight Club has generated controversy from the very moment it was released. Critics have both acclaimed and denounced this film. At the same time, it has been a fan favorite, ranking 14 on IMDB’s Top 250 Chart. On one hand, the film Fight Club lacks in its unrealistic plot. On the other hand, it displays exceptional acting and it underlines many problems of society. Roger Ebert describes it as “a celebration of violence in which the heroes write themselves a license to drink, smoke, screw and beat one another up.” but from my point of view I think that this film has deeper philosophical meaning and messages than just smoking , drinking or beating up each other is.The main character in this film is the good example of existentialism. Existentialism is a philosophy which describes individual existence, freedom and choice. It is the way how humans characterize their own meaning in life, and try to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe.
For a screenplay writer, it can sometimes be hard to adapt a character in a way that stays true to the character’s original persona in the story. A character may not be fully developed in a story, or they may be too much for a screenplay writer to undertake. They have to find the perfect balance of motivation for the character that will appeal to the audience the most, yet still stay true to the author’s original character. Through the development of main character motivation, screenplay writers are able to reveal more telling details and subtexts than a reader can grasp in a short story. When analyzing an adaptation, it would take months to comb over every fine detail, but looking into the motivation of the main character would allow one to better understand the short story and the film.
