Nobody Thought Fight Club Would Make It Out Of Pre-Production “Fight Club” is David Fincher’s stylistic,nuancedview on 21st-century masculinity and consumerism. The film is an adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name. The scathing indictment on modern workplaces and what we’re expected to do with our money was borne partly from Palahniuk’s own frustration with his lot in life. He wrote the novel while completing the mundane work of writing repair manuals....
