![]() this was a great movie to end with and i can see why you sid you didnt know if you should show this first or last because it is really close to the set up. this movie made me think that i was watching the set up but with different characters. This movie came back to the classic old boxing movies where the camera was from their perspective so it looked like the punches where coming right at you and you got to feel like you where in the ring with them fighting. we got to see how the fights where getting set up and all for money. The gangsters came back this movie and we got to see how bad these fights where thrown again to make a quick dollar. the managers where like all the rest there was one is it for the money and one that actually cared about the boxer. we got to see that when one wanted him to get a job and the other one wanted him to pick up wrestling to make money. these films really make you think that the worl revolves around money and the fighters health means nothing. one of the best scenes are in the end in the locker room where you see them about to kill the manager and mountain says he will do it just so they dont kill him even when he found out he was played the whole time and was just a money maker. this scene makes me thing about a mob movie and i love every second of it. in conclusion i think this movie was a great one to end off with and i enjoyed this class a lot. hopefully i take more fiml classes in the future.

![]() Wow was this movie different from the rest. There was no boxing bus (fighting) and not for titles or really not even for pride. They were fighting to get rif of their problem they just likes the fact that they were hitting people and getting hit. the first time we saw this and when it all started was out side the bar with the main characters. they literally beat the shit out of eachother and think it is fun. I think we can all agree this is a little strange but i think faking mental and physical illnisess is even worse and that also happens in the movie before they start fight club. but intill the end we never know that edward norton does actually have a problem and was by himself the whole movie and made up that character. he was one person with two different personalities. another huge scene is the chemical burn scene i think this is where the movie is telling us that tyler really does love pain and thinks everyone should endure it and just get over the fact of pain. he says without pain and without sacrafice we would have nothing. I think this is also tyler telling norton that his pain is right here on his hand dont go to your cave or whatever else face the pain and dont try to fight it. Its real and there is no meditaion you can do to get rid of it hw contiunes to say god isnt real and they are gods unwanted children its like a scene from a scary movie. and one of the last scenes is once again looks like it is out of a scary movie the narrator becomes tyler.... thinks hes a different person the whole movie. it shows all the movie back again and you see that there was never anyone their it was all in his head and he made the character up. in conclusion this movie is one of a kind and definetly got its point across i dont think you can watch this movie and not have your head be 1000 different places at once.
![]() i want to start off by saying this was a great movie to throw into the mix. even though it was a wrestling movie it fit in very well there was alot of similarites. I found it interesting that this movie started off with him being famous young and started from when he was on top and not showing him from nothing becoming famous like all the other boxing movies we have watched. It showed him after fame and almost the washed up ages of his life. but a huge similarity was that twords the end he wasnt fighting for the fame he was simply fighting for the respect and to show people he loves to wrestle and as long as he hears them cheering that he will contiune to do his best no matter what kind of shape hes in. when he had the heart attack after having that amasing show that he went through i think the movie was showing us that he is really trying to live a life he cant anymore and his body cant phisically take. but he gets fuled off all the other wrestlers because he rermembers when he used to be on top and was the go to guy. i think another big part in the movie is where we see him buy all the steriods and drugs from the guy in the locker room because he thinks if he gets strong again he will be fine he is trying anything he can to stay in the sport. ![]() then we see what we see in all the other movies a family problem we find out that he doesnt get along with his daughter and that he left her along time ago because he could take care and support her so he thought it was a good idea to run out. we also see him dissapoint her once again when he gets drunk and forgets about dinner. this was when he was really going through a rough patch and thinks that the world is going to end without wrestling we see him try his best in the grocery store to keep happy and try to move on in life but once someone reconises him and sees what he used to be and now hes working selling meats he loses it. i think that the last part of the movie is the best part of the movie we get to see him do what he loves and push through the pain get on the ropes and do one more ram slam he is so emotional and thinks that everything is over put he proved to everyone that he had one more in him and i think made himself happy that he was able to get through the last show. in conclusion i think this was more of a movie to show you what the boxers/wrestlers feel like after they are washed up and how mujch it kills them that they cant keep doing what they love and all the money and fave measn nothing to them. |
