FIGHT CLUB - Not a Review. A confession of Love

FIGHT CLUB OST. Where's My Mind - Pixies
(Click the PLAY button before you continue to read, i.e. if you do choose to read. Otherwise enjoy this beautiful song)

That's how the film Ends, with that ^ dialogue and this song playing in the background and The Credits start to roll while your jaws are still recovering from the drop made 20 mins ago before this screen appeared.

Let me start by saying- Did listening to this song just Play the whole Fight Club film in your head once again? All the preachings, the truth spewing and all the 'in-your-face-bitch-but-still-I-love-you-so'? If not, then may be you are not as crazy a Fight Club fan as I am.

This Film changed my thinking. Coming across a concept (not the multiple personality disorder part) like this was like finding an oasis in the desert. This was a perfect representation of my thoughts captured and conveyed in the film by Tyler Durden's character . The insomnia was something I could very well connect to, the sleepless and sometimes thoughtless nights are not only haunting but also blissful sometimes. We all should realize that.

I'm sure this film has been reviewed and critiqued by 'experts' all over the world, I'm sure it came out with flying colors, not like I ever care what one has to say about a film. I watch and then I decide. But, this one I wouldn't dare to critique or question, for the simple reason that just as God believing people don't question their God, I don't question The Art from which I've learnt so much and made myself a better human being, more so from my own perspective.

The intriguing manner in which David Finch has caught Marla Singer's character is just fascinating. So short a film footage and still she manages to make a mark on your mind. Of course, Bob and the rest of the boys do make their presence felt but Nobody does it better than Marla when it comes to making their absence felt. I usually am not the kind of guy who falls in love with female 'made-up characters' in films, but this one was my First 'Filmy' Love, second being the Hit-Girl character from Kick-Ass :D Yup, I have thing for messed up girls. What can I say? I'm equally messed up :)

Edward Norton and Brad Pitt have done splendidly through the Direction of David Fincher to convey the 'two-minds'. Their conversations remind me of my conversations with myself, the only difference being my 'Tyler Durden' is still under my control.

And lastly, What if I could be Tyler Durden? Would I? Would you? I wouldn't, neither should you if you took anything away from this magnificent masterpiece of a film.

Always, Be Yourself.

PS: This song, 'Where's My Mind' was the only song on the Fight Club OST which wasn't by the Dust Brothers (There were in all 45 tracks on the album)
