Fight club

Fight Club is a 1999 feature film adaptation of the 1996 novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, adapted by Jim Uhls and directed by David Fincher. Fight Club explores themes of psychological emasculation in modern white-collar society, with Edward Norton playing a disillusioned everyman who meets a woman similar to him (Helena Bonham Carter) and a soap salesman (Brad Pitt) who embodies his repressed masculinity. The two men establish a club for men to engage in fist fights, and later, shenanigans and radical revolutionary acts.

The first rule of Fight Club is....you do not talk about Fight Club.

The second rule of Fight Club is...you DO NOT TALK ABOUT Fight Club！

Third rule of Fight Club：Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.

Fourth rule：Only two guys to a fight.

Fifth rule：One fight at a time, fellas.

Sixth rule：No shirts, no shoes

Seventh rule：Fights will go on as long as they have to.

And the eighth and final rule....If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight！

Director David Fincher is good at expressing anger in his films.Some people(My mom..)think this movie is totally insane,only crazy people would agree with those ideas in "Fight club".(well..nuts for nuts) Let's assume that everyone around us comes from a happy family,everyone is middle class,everyone is satisfied with their lives.(These remind me of "Clockwork Orange..) Unfortunately,some people are not like that. They take drug cos they just want to FEEL that they're alive.(Usually they say "I want to escape from pain)

"Tyler says the things you own, end up owning you. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Fight Club represents that kind of freedom.Fight Club represents that kind of freedom."

This is a money society,we are suffered from chasing after money and fame. Therefore,some people chose to be Amish,some chose to be in fight club.

The most beautiful scene in this movie is when all the bombs explod the banks and The Narrator(he's bleeding) and Marla's left hand in his right hand. Everything back to the beginning...

Advertisements have us chasing cars and clothes,working jobs we hate so we canbuy shit we don't need.We've all been raised by television to believe that oneday we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't.We're learning slowly that fact,And we're very, very pissed off. - Tyler Durden

Hedwig and the angry inch - Origin of love

When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.
The origin of love
And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.
The origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire
And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye
Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

Hedwig and the angry inch

Hedwig always has a dream to be a rock star.He went to America from Germany,and he became a she. After her husband left,she has a band.And she met Tommy,they had a crazy time creating music.Tommy stole their song and left Hedwig...

How many people dream to be a rock'n roller?However,how many people can really succeed?

All because of this song" origin of love"so I watch this crazy film.What is love?What is gender? Why is that there are two kind of people in the world? What's the origin of human being?(I hope it's not Eva and Adam in the garden of eden and she ate the apple)
All of these look like a sissy nerd who reads philosophy.But I quite like the explanation of love and this crazy story.

un coeur hiver

Beautiful violin virtuoso Camille has two obsessions: the music of Ravel, and a friend of her husband's who crafts violins. But his heart seems to be as cold as her playing is passionate...



The atmosphere is very light
The music is great
The foreshadow is long
The ending makes the whole movie to be like a lighted cigarette,the first inhaleing makes you smile and relaxed and the last breath is reluctant but your tongue is bitter.

If you don't understand French and you watch this movie without subtitles.You understand everything through the expression in actors' eyes.

Interview with the Vampire

It hadn't even been a year since a plantation owner named Louis had lost his wife, and now he had lost his will to live. A vampire named Lestat takes a liking to Louis and offers him the chance to become a creature of the night: a vampire. Louis accepts, and Lestat drains Louis' mortal blood and then replaces it with his own turning Louis into a vampire. Louis must learn from Lestat the ways of the vampire...

Directed by Neil Jordan.In this movie Brad Pitt and Kristen Dunst got their big break. Also,unknown Antonio Banderas. Kristen Dunst was 12 years old,but as the eternal child vampire, she acted beyond her years. One of the key scene,Louis couldn't accept that he's no longer a normal human being,he got a divine dark blessing via a dying little girl,Claudia.

I believe that many people have a fantasy of vampires.As Lestat says in the movie,a vampire should be pale,beautiful,elegant and immortal. Not like other Dracula movies,"Interview With The Vampire" make a breakthrough of vampire movies.

It's not about hero nor ghost.This creature is not like wolfman,water sprite.That's why this movie has been played thousands times on HBO.And tourists go to New Orleans to see the house where the movie was mad.

put the "F" back in freedom

The North American anti-terrorist force Team America attacks a group of terrorist in Paris. Later, the leader of the organization, Spottswoode, invites the famous Broadway actor Gary Johnston to join his world police and work undercover in Cairo in a terrorist organization and disclose their plan of destroying the world. The Team America destroy the cell of terrorists, but then the Panama Canal is attacked by the criminals as a payback. Gary feels responsible for the death of many innocents and leaves the counter-terrorism organization. When the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong II, joins a group of pacifist actors and actresses with the intention of using weapons of massive destruction, the Team America tries to avoid the destruction of the world.

This film try to gibe those American right-winger.Michael Moore,director of Fahrenheit 9/11,is one of the puppet. In the end of this film,there's a impressive speech. Using metaphor through 3 nasty words to dig at the stupid and arrogant Americans,the week movie union,autarchical Kim Jong Il.



Compare with "Borat". They're like neck and neck--The nasty parts.(One of my friend imitated Borat on the train in Tokyo--"Veeeery nice!")Also,hilarious.


Especially that song "the end of an act"(It's so vexatious that Mr.Bay reproduced "The Bird"and this summer he's going to blemish my childhood memory by making "Transformers"I used to have some of the robots)


Directed by the producer of "South Park",Trey Parker.This puppet film full of not only f-words but a lot of nasty hit at world situation.(terrorism,the leader of North Korea,Kim Jong-il. Hollywood,movie stars)

The story is like a cookie cutter,Mr. Bay's usual number--slow motion and explosions.However, the scene design,props and the puppets are professional.

It's not a folky B-film which you'd forget about it in the next morning. You sing the song "America,f*ck yeah" while picking the broken bits of popcorn between your teeth. Some of the dirty jokes stick to your brain just like a song "If you leave me now" pops out of your friends mouth and then you'd be annoyed by this for a week.

If you had a old lover who's a poet studies Charles Olsen,and a best friend who's working on Experimental film,you'd love this movie.

The End Of An Act

I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark,
When he made Pearl Harbor.
I miss you more then that movie missed the point,
And that’s an awful lot girl.
And now, now you've gone away,
And all I'm trying to say,
Is Perl Harbor sucked and I miss you

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He's way better then Ben Affleck.
And now all I can think about is your smile,
And that shitty movie too,
Perl Harbor sucked and I miss you


Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies.
I guess Perl Harbor sucked,
Just a little bit more then I miss you.
