Fight Club: Simply a great movie
“What makes a great movie?” is a question that every filmmaker asks, but none can agree on the answer (which is why we have so many critics telling us what to think). Well today I will not only ask, but also give you my very logical yet opinionated answer. I say opinionated because in film when deciding whether or not the movie is good or possibly great, is an opinion. One person (most likely the director) could love it, and another (most likely the person who never picked up a camera) could hate it. The bottom line is everyone has a different rating system and point of view. Each person either likes this or that, but never this and that; however I am very well rounded in my taste and knowledge of film and have devised a rating system that works. When deciding what makes one film better than the next you must consider all angles of the film, not just acting and/or action (which is all what most people consider). You must also consider directing, editing, camera shots and movements, story, dialogue and monologues, character development and interaction, as well as other technical aspects I won’t go over at this moment. I will let you in on what is a simply great movie, Fight Club. I
Some of the points that I mentioned previously, character development and interaction, start in pre-production. The characters in this movie are well thought out and developed, but their interaction is what really brings them to life. Each character plays an important role in the development of each other and of the story. All of the main characters are multilayered and complex bringing this movie to its feet. But that’s not all; in every story conflict is the driving force. There is still more to be seen in the story; you see in every good story there is three sections: main plot, sub-plots, and miscellaneous. Which is an entirely different essay if I were to go into details about them all; however I do anticipate some of you all to be somewhat confused by what I mean when I say miscellaneous. The miscellaneous portions of the movie are scenes and events that seemingly have nothing to do with the movie, but still say something towards the entirety of the movie, and all of these worked together to create one of the great dramas of our time. Finally, Post-production, the last step in the filmmaking process; when most people think of post-production, they think, “Oh, they just take all of the scenes and stick them together.” That my friend is a huge misconception, post-production consist of editing and making final decisions on what scenes will be kept and trashed. The way you edit and cut can change the entire mood and tone of each scene and sometimes the entire movie. There are some movies that if they were edited differently they would have been a different movie entirely (for example Pulp Fiction). The last stages of the movie making process are just as vital as the previous two. When editing there are a few of things to consider that can change the way you view each scene: the speed of the cuts, how many cuts and the choice of what shots to use. The speed of cuts and how many used can really change the tone and how you view the scene.
