The 1999 film Fight Club‚ based on Chuck Palahniuk’s novel of the same name‚ was received as one of the most controversial films of the year‚ and has since gained a strong cult popularity. The movie places strong emphasis on the evils of modern consumerism‚ and adopts a “fight the system” attitude throughout. The setting is bleak and degraded – the main character‚ who remains unnamed for the entirety of the film‚ inhabits a city that seems perpetually dark and run down. All in all‚ the film attempts

He no longer sees his patients as real‚ even as he’s saving their lives; he no longer sees his and son at all. More than perhaps any movie before it‚ The Doctor captures the styles and attitudes of contemporary physicians‚ especially surgeons: the cool scientific bravado‚ the gallows humor‚ the abstracted sense of ’’caring’’ that allows some doctors to view their patients as subtly inferior

Stone uses Gordon Gekko as a vehicle to symbolize greed‚ corruption‚ abuse of power‚ and the evil in society. In one of the rising action scenes in the movie‚ Gekko gives a speech about how greed is good and how greed is essential to making America a successful country.
