Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club may be the only book with a movie that exceeds its brilliance. I do not say that lightly either because I have not read any other book with the same haste quite like I did Palahniuk's masterpiece. Having Brad Pitt and Edward Norton as the two main characters is bound to help any movie but the story they had to work with and the ways they bent the original story were nothing short of perfect. It is difficult to explain knowing that someone who reads this has potentially neither read or seen this story so I will do my best. The ending in the written version laid the story to rest ending it in a peaceful manner that does not exist in the rest of the book. Almost the entirety of the book has you forgetting to breathe but quickly lands you on your feet recollecting all that has happened and even with the way it ends, wondering how it got to that point. The cinematic version of the film breathes in a chaos polluted world and reminds you that once you have reached a certain point that there is no turning back or easy way out. The ending still has serene qualities to it but is nothing more than searching for the beauty in chaos. If you try hard enough, it is there.
