I am considering writing my paper on the movie, Fight Club. This movie challenges our common ways of thinking and allows us to notice the more important things in life. Edward Norton plays a depressed businessman who doesn't like his job and tries to organize his life through a series of events. He slowly starts to feel alienated from the world and does whatever he can to relate to other people and try to pull his life back together. Soon, Norton becomes friends with Tyler Durden, an average citizen who sells soap for a living and doesn't put any value on materialistic items. Tyler introduces Norton to a physical alternative for relieving the stress that he has been keeping inside for so long. Soon, more men join the two friends in their informal meetings to fight. "Fight Club" becomes a secret underground club where various men who are sworn to secret meet to let our their internal anger as they learn more about the values of life.
The website that I have included is a basic summary of what the film is about. It is a short video that allows individuals to realize that life is not just about money and valued possessions. After watching it, you may wonder a little bit more about the purpose of life.

Im not sure if you knew this but, if you watch fight club in slow motion you can catch glimpses of Tyler way before he meets him. Kind of like a sign of him being schizophrenic.
