(Relatively) Recently, Fight Club, the movie we all love (and a few hate) has been inducted into the “Guy Movie Hall Of Fame”. The focus with that whole thing was on Brad Pitt teasing Mel Gibson by calling him “sugatits”, of course. But, what one must gather from all of this is that this powerful movie has received one more honour. It’s been a decade since its birth and the legend keeps growing. And it should be. In hindsight, a lot of critics are self-flagellating for ignoring, or even worse, criticizing Fight Club, when it was released. Basic stuff, pretty much, since this is what happens with all subversive masterpieces. Time has prooved Fincher and Palahniuk right and now they are both legends, the movie and the book, too. It’s all uphill from here and soon enough, you’ll find movie scholars arguing about “what does that phallus represent ?” and people writing essays on that scene alone. So, we should all just be glad that we are witnessing the shaping of a cult-classic legendary-masterpiece and be sure that others will not go ignored.
