Probably the most important film of this decade (and as i look over at the doctor's comments, i see that he's already said all that better...).Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570694759851328441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562976704592561301.post-65169008202878770042007-09-08T14:12:00.000-05:002007-09-08T14:12:00.000-05:00Fincher's films hold up very well.

Like all great films, Fight Club (A) is so dense that there's plenty to see and interpret no matter what your age is. What seemed anti-God a few years ago now seems like an assault on fathers who abandon their families. It also squeezed the entirety of American Beauty into 30-40 minutes and added messages about disenfranchised youth and their predisposition for destruction and mayhem - all the more interesting and profound when taking into account young Muslims and crumbling buildings. Oh, yeah, it's also brilliantly directed and edited, one of the best put together films of the last 10 years.<BR/><BR/>As for Iris (B-), it's watchable enough, but I just didn't buy young Kate Winslet turning into Judi Dench. Great acting though.Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00831225464975873373noreply@blogger.com
