In 1996, Chuck Palahniuk published his best-known novel; Fight club. In 1999, the award-winning novel was made into a film. Palahniuk is known for his unique and sometimes dark writing. The unnamed main character works in the liability department of a large (also unnamed) car manufacturer. He flies all over the country to investigate car accidents and other problems his company's cars might encounter. It is he who determines whether a recall is necessary or not. It's necessary, if it costs the company more money to issue a recall or settle out of court with the family that their defective cars killed or injured. He meets an intriguing stranger while returning home from one of his business trips. They end up developing an underground Fight Club. So how does the movie compare to Chuck's novel? Of course, the main storyline is the same. It is the story of a man who is bored with life and suffers from severe insomnia. Then he meets Tyler. Tyler changes the narrator's life. Tyler makes the narrator understand how materialistic the world is. They create an underground Fight Club in which men can eliminate their aggression. To fully enjoy the experience and truly appreciate the whole story, you need to see it from both perspectives. The book goes into much more detail and more into the heads of the characters. We see how unpredictable Tyler truly is. On the other hand, the film hits just as hard when seeing the bruises and the blood. Not to mention the expression on the men's faces after their fight. You might expect it to be pain, but it's a relief. This is how they let off steam. How they walk away from their empty lives of work just to live. Far from dead end jobs and condescending people all day long. I guess it's sort of... middle of paper...... he agrees that he "knows, without being afraid, that one day you will die." So how does Fight Club do with the novel-to-film transformation? According to the response, very good. When Fight Club was released in 1999, it garnered great acclaim. A cult if you will. The director, David Fincher, went above and beyond to capture the heart of Chuck's writing style and his contemptuous look at the material lives that most people live today. The clever things the characters say seem endless and always funny. Most may be dark, but they still make sense. Chuck uses some great analogies that most people would never think of, but everyone understands. Needless to say, Fight Club will continue to follow and attract more fans for years to come.
