Fight!!!!!!!!
In the movie "Fight Club" we take a man that has two different personalities played by two different actors. Taking two aesthetics from this movie will give you all an idea of my opinion for this for this movie. First, lets take the actors, Edward Norton and Brad Pitt playing the main character Tyler Durden and Helena Bonham Carter who plays Marla Singer. In my opinion these three actors played there part very well. Edward Norton playing the personality of the average man who hates his job and lives off of the fact that all of his furniture is ordered. Brad Pitt who plays the dangerous side and has the "I don't give a shit attitude" in which i thought suited him very well as a person when this movie was made. Finally we have Helena Carter who plays the insane Marla Singer. She is a sex loving, pill popping, crazy lady of the movie who falls in love with the main character. While watching this movie i was so rapped up in it that i figured that is how the characters are in real life. That is when I know good acting was being portrayed.
The other aesthetic I wanted to look at was the "mise-en-scene", the everything else other than the actors. It was a very dark setting which seemed to me as if society was very depressed. People got pleasure out of fighting, bleeding, and destroying the society. This group of people that grew from one person to many very quickly seemed to be out to change and start a new society. My favorite part of this movie was at the end with the blowing up of the credit card companies. Getting people out of debt and clearing their name seems to be a good way to me to brighten things up in a messed up society. The only question that this movie left me was how was he able to destroy his crazy side of his personality by blowing up his own head, without killing himself?
