The Fight Club
(R) 139 mMonday, Jan 31 only, 7 & 10:30pm in 26-100 | |||||||||
|
Based on the debut novel by recent University of Oregon graduate Chuck
Palanhiuk about a confused young man in the not
too distant future. With no
family or close friends, he frequents cancer and
disease support groups as a
way to bond with others, pretending to be
terminally ill or feigning various
other infirmities to fit in. Sick of his dead end,
white bread, white collar
corporate career and disgusted with the empty
consumer culture that his
generation has been doomed to inherit, he and a
very devious friend named
Tyler Durden create a new club where young men
come to relieve their
frustrations by beating each other to a pulp. The
popularity of this club grows
exponentially, and eventually some very profound
rules are created to govern
it. Because one of those rules is no more than 50
people to a fight club, soon
new fight clubs are popping up everywhere and
spread across the nation.
Tyler Durden, the fight club's founder, quickly
becomes a cult hero of epic
proportions, a new messiah for a dead
generation. While all this is
happening, the nameless, narrating main character
manages to get involved in
a love triangle with Tyler and a girl named Marla
who seems to have an
endless supply of ex-boyfriends just as screwed up
as he is.
