Fight Club [Blu-ray] [1999]

Product Information

While these features are numerous, none offer any new material for fans. The four feature-length commentaries, while interesting, are a tad redundant at times and are unlikely to be utilized by most viewers. The "Behind the Scenes" vignettes offer brief insights into the production and development of the film, but none delve into any topic with any significant detail. Instead, the short videos piece together brief production footage with final cut footage and very little narrative. The deleted and alternate scenes come accompanied by menu summaries that identify the differences between the selected scenes and the final cut – a small but well-appreciated effort. The PSAs, which feature Tyler Durden and The Narrator, are amusing, but account for only a few minutes of supplemental viewing.

expresses variations of the credo that "it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to doNihilistic – Other than the high-profile cast, willingly indulging themselves into excruciating lessons in self-mutilation, I am unsure why one would want to see Fight Club (is this actually a good reason to see this film?). One could argue that their gradual moral degradation is what makes this film an intriguing watch, but its narrative hardly sustains such a read. On the contrary, Fight Club focuses exclusively on the main protagonists' destructive actions, and by doing so, it eliminates any possibility of being read as a credible condemnation of violence.
