In Reply to: Also if one is watching Fight Club to see a realistic depiction of fighting, or holds the lack thereof against it, posted by sjb on April 28, 2006 at 11:40:38:
should take seriously?
Obviously, you're wrong. The fights are the critical part of the film, meaning to shock the audience into accepting the metaphor.
The gritty photography, the blood-splattered faces, the manly cuts... all are meant to be "realistic." Well, they are... about as realistic as the drivel served up by Scorscese's "Raging Bull."
In reality, no man can absorb the kinds of solid blows to the head or jaw these lesser films show and remain conscious, or alive.
I lived in Portland which is home to the author who is a well-known, local, gay body-builder. My point merely was that if you wish to see a true depiction of that world, see "Schizo."
If one wishes to settle for romanticized, choreographed play-fighting, see "Fight Club."
Capiche?
