Fight Club (1999)



This is a violent film, and has some fine performances from the lead actors. There are quotes that are thought-provoking, and outright funny. Brad Pitt plays Tyler Durden, Edward Norton plays the unnamed narrator and Helena Bonham Carter plays Marla Singer.

Tyler Durden: "Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?"
This is really the reason why I hate seats other than aisle seats while flying.

Tyler Durden: "It’s only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
My interpretation of this quote will take some time in getting expressed.

Tyler Durden: "Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."
This line almost made me cry. It is so deprecating of the human race that it hurts. How does one respond to such cynicism and not get damaged in the process?
