Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk Film Analysis
In this assignment, you will analyze Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club and the film adaptation based on the literary text (Fight Club – 1999). Your analysis will focus on camera work, lighting, sound, editing, and/or casting and its effect on the narrative. You should make an argument (thesis claim) about how cinematic choices affect issues of gender, race, sexuality, literacy, or another social concern in the original literary text. In other words, this is not an essay simply about the film. You will use at least two provided sources to support your argument. No Outside Research. You will also incorporate at least 2 film images into your essay. Use the following questions as models for questions you might use to generate ideas: How does the casting of Brad Pitt affect Palahniuk’s argument about masculinity in Fight Club? What does the use of editing in Fight Club convey about reading and literacy? Is this a message that is also accessible in the novel? Why does that matter?
