wow, this is really a defining movie. that's kind of a played out expression, something a self-important critic would say, but i think in this case it's true. i haven't read the book, but i can't imagine how insane that book is, and i'm sure it's great. this is possibly my favorite movie, and it's certainly the best movie i've seen (i think there's a difference between the two). it seems like everything in this movie just worked perfect, i can't think of any complaints.
there are just so many strange things that make this movie great. i really liked the narrator's insight on what was going on. he sounds so emotionless and cold, i really think that added a great atmosphere to this movie. the director is really gifted in order to make a movie with such a difficult premise so good. the fight scenes were so real, it was really disturbing, especially when edward norton went nuts on that pretty blonde kid and f***ed up his face. i also really enjoyed some of the lines in this movie, most of the lines actually.
and than there's the ending. the greatest ending ever. i won't spill it, as the ending was ruined for me right before i saw it (i was p***ed but in the end it took nothing away from the movie), but it is just incredible. i can't say enough good about this movie, it's the perfect definition for a great movie (another brainless critic saying, but it's true). 10/10
