In Reply to: Really? So what part of the film do you argue we posted by tinear on April 30, 2006 at 15:55:47:
You're comparing apples and oranges here.Nothing in that movie was being presented as realistic... especially not the fighting.
Now I'm not advocating their praise of the movie but here are a couple of quotes (from reviewers who understood the movie) that might help...
"A wickedly funny assault on the soul-destroying nature of 20th-century consumerism"
"Fight Club is a heady, brutal, raucously funny riot that sucks you into its right-brain fantasy."
But if you wan't to hold onto your idea that anyone would hold it up as a realistic view of bare knuckled fighting then rock on."Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance. " T.S. Eliot
