Fight Club

If nothing else, the movie Fight Club was definitely a movie about how "tough" men can be, and how they don't take non-sense from nobody. When the film begins, Brad Pitt wants Edward Norton to hit him; for no reason at all. Now they are just leaving a bar, so at first glance, it may appear that Brad Pitt is just drunk and doesn't really mean what he's saying, but we quickly find out that he wasn't kidding and Edward Norton finally hits him. What starts off as a dare between two men turns into one big masculine fighting ring. It's weird to see how people would just do this for fun at night, and live their normative lives the next day. I know that I am a man, have male friends, and none of us fight physically with each other or anyone to demonstrate our masculinity. Helena Bonham Carter's character was an interesting one in my opinion as well. She poses as a very strong, independent women, who doesn't really have any cares. Her character is that similar to Pitt and Norton's characters except as a female.
