I loved that I didn't know the twist in the end until I saw it. In today's world of sms and instant messengers, a story's plot is often the first thing to get leaked out. All the movies last summer had no surprises for me. It was just three hours of drooling over a hero and waiting for someone to die.
This was different! and Thank God for all the people who didn't give away the plot :)
Totally blew my mind away and now I'm reading the book
If you woke up at a different place, in a different time, could you wake up as a different person?
to the quote - would you be forced to still have the same body?
ReplyDeletethe body is an ephemeral thing. a few dollars can buy you a better figure.. a plastic surgery can buy you a changed face..
ReplyDeleteyou still cannot change the person you are, the experiences you've had..

ReplyDeleteHowdy gal..long time!I am surprised people didnt spoil sport and "leak" the twist in the story to you! :P My friends were less kind sigh....
ReplyDeleteDifficult to say whether you would like the book or the movie more..I preferred the latter...but a fantabulous movie! and ahem not very capitalistic was it?:P
Its an excellent movie. The say...its a grown up version of Calvin and Hobbes...
ReplyDeleteBy the way; You've been mug-tagged. Its the International Post A Mug week. Be a-part of history.
---> info at my site.
hey girish.. how've you been? and the movie is, like a lot of popular fiction, anti establishmentarian.. :)
ReplyDeleteghost particle, will check it out :)
First rule of the fight club is : You don't talk about it to anyone.
ReplyDeleteSecond rule of the fight club is : YOU don't talk about it to anyone.
Looks like some people are breaking the first two rules.
;-)
anti -err what?? *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteIs that double speak? :D :D
Btw Merrily lynch New York is it? Go for the "man" with the "hat" "an" haffun! :d (alright maybe not be a very good one but quite a decent attempt...)
Is it just me or the mention of New york only conjures up images of Sex and The city?
guess it's just me...
you watch girlie shows?? :p sex and the city..
ReplyDeleteAh Well...how does one know it is a 'girlie' show until one 'watches' it..? :P
ReplyDeleteAssumption being other's opinions on it is as reliable as things which arent reliable...whatever.
Btw nice touch with that A-Z stuff...:) Infact Except fort wo letters I could very well copy it for me too!!!

"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
ReplyDeleteI just watched the movie last night ...and today surfed and landed on ur blog...what are the chances :-)

ReplyDeletehi sujatha
ReplyDeletejust like someone above...have seen ur blog linked by loads of people but finally managed to come here...read random articles from ur blog...its amazing!!Just went through ur profile.You just might remember me from muscat.Small world..huh?!
Anyways..Say hi to soumya!
On topic...Fight Club is definitely an amazing movie..but never make the mistake of thinking it is a popcorn flick and see it with that frame of mind coz ur brain is bound to feel very heavy by the end of the first hour.Personal Experience :(
ur blog rocks. i got here following the crumbs from oka's blog. and i've read every bit from the beginning. right from ur " political consciousness" to some nut's comments thinking "suze" landed from the US of A.
ReplyDeletei know u r crazy abt numbers.wishing that u see 50K hits soon.
Rasta jane ka
Hey Gowri.. how are you doing.. how's coll n all? What are you upto these days?
ReplyDeleteNow go to IMdb and read up the fight club trivia, the sheer number of scenes which have indications to the twist will drive you nuts.. Possibly the only suspense movie where I enjoyed it more the second time!!!
ReplyDeleteNo.. I shouldn't say that.. loved it the first time also, and every time after that..
