Fight club production

Idea and screenplay



The idea for the book Fight club which the film Fight club is based on comes from when the author was bruised and swollen and his co-workers didn't ask what happened. Their reluctance to delve into his personal life inspired him to write Fight club. Jim Uhls wrote the screen play for the film. He also wrote the screenplay for Jumper (2008).

The film was directed by David Fincher who also directed Seven (1995) and the social network (2010) both of these had good reaction. David Fincher is a well known director and has directed many other films, music videos and adverts.

Fight club introduction

Fight club is about a unnamed protagonist who has a boring and typical american office job. As he trys to deal with insomnia he meets a woman called Marla Singer that drives him crazy. Once he meets a man named Tyler Durden and loses all of his possessions  his life changes. He and Tyler form a fighting club, but it soon becomes out of hand as Tyler has bigger plans for the club.

I like this film because i find the story to be interesting and i think the characters are too. Also i like the way the plot is always moving.

 This is a image from a scene in the film where Tyler and the Narrator really interact properly for the first time. In this scene Tyler asks the Narrator to hit him as hard as he can. After they fight for a little while they decide to make it a regular thing, this later evolves into the fight club.

In this scene where the Narrator first meets Marla, in this scene he confronts her on being a fake and not having these diseases. After he talks to her he cant stop thinking about her.
