One of those many hit classics was a dramatic flick called Fight Club, which starred a much younger Brad Pitt and a then relevant Edward Norton.

Seven Pounds is a drama film starring actor, Will Smith, who hides a life-shattering secret that haunts his life. In order to find absolution, he sets out to save the lives of seven specific outsiders. During his mission, he meets a middle-aged woman Emily (Rosario Dawson), a cardiac patient, that he soon falls in love with.

The novel Fight Club is a complicated violent novel. It contains a lot of meaningful things about psychological aspects. According to the article “Is Tyler Durden a Marxist?”, Goodman states that this novels is “a character study in schizophrenia.” It’s true because the main character of the novel is a multi-personality person, the nameless narrator.

If Tyler Durden from Fight Club was sitting inside $340,000 a Lamborghini Aventador, his hatred towards materialism probably would have driven him to accelerate the car right into the ocean. If author James Twitchell was sitting inside of it, he probably would have just left the car in a parking structure with the keys still inside.

Fincher said Fight Club was a coming of age film, like the 1967 film The Graduate but for people in their 30s. Fincher described the narrator as an "everyman";[5] the character is identified in the script as "Jack", but left unnamed in the film.[6] Fincher outlined the narrator's background: "He's tried to do everything he was taught to do, tried to fit into the world by becoming the thing he isn't." The narrator cannot find happiness, so he travels on a path to enlightenment in which he must "kill"

The next film I want to look at is Fight Club (Fincher, 1999) as the story follows an insomniac office worker looking for a way to change his life crosses paths with a devil-may-care soap maker, Tyler, and they form an underground fight club that evolves into something much, much more to which by the end, the protagonist finds out that Tyler was just a figment of his imagination in which he himself is Tyler.
