Best 60 Fight Club Quotes That Challenge Our Modern Lifestyle
It’s hard to believe David Fincher’s iconic 1999 movie “Fight Club” was at the time considered a commercial failure. However, after getting a second chance on DVD (remember those?), it went on to become a generation-defining film and Brad Pitt’s character, Tyler Durden is somehow iconic for generation Y. Of course, the film also starred Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter in two amazing performances (the finale scene is literally unforgettable).
Chuck Palahniuk book’s adaptation to a movie screenplay by Jim Uhls left a true legacy of memorable quotes about modern urban habits, consumption, and soap. This carefully curated collection will remind us how, just at the turn of the 21st century, a film managed to challenge our lifestyle.
