i didn't noticed before that edward norton has no name in this movie and i have watched it god knows how many times. david fincher's dynamic direction is still refreshing as it did 10 years ago, putting humour in otherwise a very bland life of an neurotic insomniac who had to be someone else in order to feel free. brad pitt nailed the role of tyler durden, nameless norton's alter ego which is his total opposite - he's flamboyant, smart, outspoken, sexy, opinionated and strong. perhaps the movie is a collection of cool one liners that underscore the anxiety of a generation of men that feels emasculated by the lack of doing anything traditionally associated with being a man. norton is great at playing the hesistant everyday man whose confidence is at an all time low. it is a dark comedy, and after many many viewings, i still find it funny - the issue of emasculation and over consumerism are more relevant today as they did 10 years ago.
