Although its final plot ends like any other love story, David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is arguably the next great cinematic breakthrough with its unique emotional paradoxes, ingenuitive digital effects, and complex subplots.

On the surface, director David Fincher’s 1999 film Fight Club, based on the novel by the same name, is a journey into underground fighting and ultra-macho male bonding.

In a 2014 Comic con appearance, Fincher states, “‘Fight Club’ is about moving through a modern disconnected society,” Fincher goes on to say, “It’s a satire. Many don’t get that.” (Stedman). The film chronicles the depressed, sleep deprived, and obsessive life of the main

It was amazing how closely directed and written Chuck Palahniuk and David Fincher’s versions were. However, the role in both that stood out to me the most was the role of Marla.

David Fincher’s film, Fight Club (1999), puts the internal struggles for meaning that heterosexual white men experience within today’s society into motion. Charles Guignon examines the film’s violent and sexual factors as well as how they pose a meaningful appeal to violence, primarily, in the young men of our society. Moreover, the film “stirs up a fascination with violence that many of us may feel, an attraction to inflicting pain and experiencing pain ourselves (35).” Through concepts of absent

The First Rule David Fincher’s film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel “Fight Club” is a disturbing and explosive-infused roller coaster perfectly blended with philosophical viewpoints about mainstream society and materialism. Through an unnamed Narrator and his sociopathic partner Tyler Durden, Fincher questions the human condition, our obsessions, fears, subconscious tendencies, as well as illustrates just how grossly simple it is to influence and manipulate those around us.
