Roles and actors: Fight Club

The creators and actors of the film "Fight Club" released a cult film, which caused a lot of controversy. Let us recall the characters and masters who fell in love with the audience, who embodied them on the screen.

Narrator

We begin the conversation about the film "Fight Club". The main actor, Edward Norton, plays the Narrator. This is a typical thirty-year-old yuppie, working for an automotive corporation. A man can be called a household conformist, he carefully furnishes his apartment, monitors fashion, constantly looks at advertising catalogs and buys all new things.

Because of frequent trips, the hero of Edward Norton begins to suffer from insomnia. The narrator comes to a meeting of cancer patients, and a clash with real grief allows him to get rid of his own problem. He finds all the new groups and becomes dependent on others' sufferings. But at the meetings Marla appears - the same "energy vampire", and this again takes the hero out of balance. On his return from his regular business trip, he meets Tyler Dörden, a soap-maker with unusual looks.

Edward Norton became world famous precisely because of his role in the Fight Club. The actor 's debut in the film took place in 1996. For his first role as a sociopath in the film "Primeval Fear," Edward received the Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar. In total, the actor starred in 32 films, and almost all of them received excellent ratings of critics and viewers. For his last work in the film "Birdman" Edward won the Guild of Actors and was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe.

Tyler Dörden

One of the pearls in the career of Brad Pitt is his role in the film "Fight Club". The actors, whose photos are invariably associated with this film, are Brad himself and Edward Norton. But it is the character of Pitt, Tyler Dörden, who is the most striking in the film, his image fell in love with the audience and became a cult.

Tyler Dörden lives in an abandoned house and earns a living by cooking soap from human fat. Before that, he also worked as a projectionist and included footage with pornography on family films, as well as a waiter in an expensive restaurant where he defecated in rich food. Unlike the Narrator, the ideal consumer and yuppie, Tyler is an anarchist and nihilist who criticizes the consumer society. It is in his head that the idea of creating a fight club, and later the organization of "The Rout", comes to mind.

His acting career Brad Pitt began in 1987, but fame came to him only in the 90's with the films "Interview with the Vampire", "Legends of Autumn", "Seven", "12 monkeys." After working on one of his most famous characters, Tyler Dörden, the actor participated in many popular projects. In total, he starred in 67 films, was nominated three times for the Oscar and received it in 2014, was nominated four times for the Golden Globe, which he received in 1996.

Marla Singer

We continue to discuss Fight Club. Actors and roles are of primary interest to us. Marla Singer is the only female character in the film. From the very beginning, it is in the epicenter of events, it is the encounter with her that is the impetus for the appearance of the second Person of the Storyteller (he originally appears to her as Tyler). However, despite its central role, the woman herself does not understand what is happening. The image of Marla Singer was called by critics "modern reissue of the fatal woman".

Helena Bonham Carter at the dawn of her career played well-mannered ladies, and the role of eccentric Marla Singer gave a new twist to her career. Helena is a two-time nominee for the Oscar and a seven-time nominee for the Golden Globe. She has roles in such well-known films as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Alice in Wonderland.

"Angel Face"

Our theme is the same - "Fight Club", actors. Jared Leto played the role of anonymous member of the club, nicknamed "Angelic Face". This bright blond flickers in the first frames showing the meetings of the fight club. In the future, he becomes one of the participants in the "Defeat" project.

Already at the end of the film, at one of the meetings of the club, the Narrator is severely beaten by the blonde, which was against the rules. And Tyler's bewilderment answers that he wanted to destroy something beautiful. Despite the beating, the disfigured man appears again in the organization "The Rout."

Jared Leto is an actor and vocalist of a famous rock band. He began his acting career in 1992, to date, he has 27 roles in the cinema. The owner of the "Oscar" and "Golden Globe" for his role in the "Dallas club of buyers." Among his famous works are roles in the films "American Psycho", "Requiem for a Dream", "Mr. Nobody".

Robert (Bob) Paulson

What other actors remember? "Fight Club" is not rich in characters, but even secondary roles left their imprint in the minds of the audience. Bob is a former bodybuilder who underwent testicular cancer. The narrator met him in one of the support groups. Later, Bob became one of the members of the organization "Defeat" and died while performing the task. It was this death that shook and shocked the Storyteller.

Bob's role was played by Meath Lawful, a famous American rock singer and actor. He can also be seen in the films "BloodRain", "Artifact", "Formula 51" and in one of the episodes of the series "Doctor House".

Richard Kesler

Not only famous actors took part in the film . "Fight Club" became the most famous work in the career of Zach Grenier. In the cult film, he played the role of the narrator's boss. In total, the actor has more than 80 roles in various projects.

Plot

The audience was well remembered for roles and actors. "Fight Club" is a film with vivid characters that leave no one indifferent, and with an intriguing plot.

The narrative is conducted on behalf of the Narrator, a thirty-year-old yuppie suffering from insomnia. He begins attending meetings for seriously ill people who help to cope with the problem. In the same place, he meets the "guest performer" Marla Singer.

On the plane, the Narrator meets Tyler Dörden, to whom he moves after an explosion in his apartment. Friends founded fight club, later transformed into the organization of "Defeat". In the finale, the Narrator understands that he has a split personality, and the anarchist Tyler is his Alter-ego.

Criticism

This film was released in 1999 and failed at the box office. But in the future neither authors nor actors regretted it - "Fight Club" ten years after the release was called a cult. He was proclaimed the voice of a generation who criticized consumerism. "Fight Club" caused a lot of controversy. Someone saw in him a protest against a thoughtless existence, and someone - the propaganda of violence and even fascism. To date, this film remains the most controversial (since the time of "Clockwork Orange") Hollywood film about the nature of violence.
