Fight Club Spoiler



The thriller film 'Fight Club' is a strange film that makes sense at the start. The film starts of quite realistic. A man, who plods through life, suffers with insomnia. He is refused medication to relive it and so to help him sleep he attends support clubs where people are sad about serious cases, which then helps him to sleep. But Marla Singer joins the clubs he has been attending to, she does not have an illness either, therefore she reminds him of what he is doing, and his insomnia returns. They then negotiate days to attend the groups so that they do not see each other.

The main character then meets a man on a plane trip, Tyler Durdon, who makes soap. After the plane journey, he returns to his flat to find that it has been destroyed, as a result of this, he calls Tyler and they go to a bar, they then end up having a fight, after they then go to Tylers house. They continue the fights and end up making a 'Fight Club'.

Marla calls the main character at Tylers house, she has overdosed on drugs. He leaves the phone but Tyler finds it and saves Marla, taking her back to his house, having a sexual relationship with her.

More men join the 'Fight Club' and it ends up becoming 'Project Mayhem'. The main character becomes confused and tries to ask Tyler questions. This is where the mystery and suspense is starting. Tyler then disappears shortly after they have a car crash; this creates more confusion and mystery, keeping the audience on the edges of their seats.

The main character then attempts to shutdown the whole club, he then slowly realises that Tyler and himself are the same person with two different personalities. When the main character is sleeping, Tyler controls his body.

He then discovers that Tyler has a plan to destroy all the credit card companies in a city and tries to stop him. The main character ends up conquering Tyler by shooting himself and the story ends with Marla and him holding hands watching the buildings collapse.

The film was successful at being a Thriller because it had an unsuspected twist within it that confused the audience, therefore the audience had to try and work out what was going on as the main character was finding out too. This created suspense and mystery throughout the film.

My opinion on the film is that, it does thrill, it creates mystery and suspense by being confusing. I personally think that the film was messed up, and I was quite disturbed by the end of the film. But overall it was good becuase it fuffilled the purpose, and many people like the film.
