Reflection: Movie Analysis – Fight Club Fight Club is a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk which was eventually made into a movie. The novel is different from usual stories in so many ways because it’s first and foremost‚ geared into the lives of young men.

The First Rule About Fight Club “The first rule about fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.” In the novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk‚ one of the most common motifs is identity. Identity is presented in different ways whether it is some form of universal identity being created‚ or a search for one’s own identity.
