Fight Club?

First rule of Fight Club is – you do not talk about Fight Club

So I wont be talking about "Fight Club", can't break the rules.
Truth be told, I just recently got to see this amazing masterpiece of a movie with such brilliant performances and this whole anarchy reign, take over the world, screw the value system , psycho having problems thing.

The reason why I have been avoiding the said movie for oh so long?
A hindi movie with the same name was released years after the original and it had a subplot also of the "Fight Club". 

Comparing the two is a sin but I cannot believe I avoided such a movie just because a bollywood flick had the same name and had a few scenes copied from the original. The copied scenes weren't even the brilliant ones just random fight scenes.

So on the one side we have this whole crazy bit about how we buy things we don't like and how we work in jobs we don't like making money to buy the said unlikeable things, the other crummy movie had this whole plot of friends opening a fight club for well, what? a Fight!

The Fight club was opened in the original just out of no reason, it had a much bigger part to play in the movie later on with a couple of personalities and a ton of zombies, here in the bollywood version we had the fight club and that was that, the whole movie was based on that shit assed basis.

The fights here were brutal savage beatings with a meaning , a sense of escape from the crummy rule filled life we lead and how we all try to fit in a society that certainly tries to make us do and act unlike the way we want, almost become numb to our internal feelings and cravings trying to satisfy what others want. This one had a lesbian fight for no reason, which gave the producer and director half a chance to get two scantily clad women to fight and strip their clothes off.

Here we had Helena Bonham Carter giving out a brilliant performance of this crazy girl or showing people later on who the real crazy people are, there we had Amrita Arora and Dia Mirza [sure hotter than Helena] but both playing bimbos who have nothing to do in the entire movie, except to dance about and look hot. Ok Amrita Arora is smoking hot but that whole shit dance on the beaches served no purpose to the movie.

On one side we have this dark twisted human being trying to take over the city, if not the world with his countless drones of "monkeys", there we have a random set of 4 monkeys trying to tell us a story which should never have come out and damaged this mind of mine.

It has taken me a good 4-5 years to get the courage to see the Original Fight Club, Its always better late than never, while I might have missed on this masterpiece earlier, this time no mistakes were made, a beautiful movie, and Bollywood, please FFS stop using the same names as the American/Hollywood movies, if you do, please let us know that the movie does not relate to the namesake and IF IT DOES, DO NOT FUCK UP MOVIES LIKE YOU GUYS DO ALWAYS WITH THOSE REMAKES.

Players, thank fuck I did not watch that, the only good thing about the Bollywood fight club were the sequences with Arora but then again, she has random hot songs in every movie she has been in, Girlfriend was another, "Lesbian love story" oh how crummy that turned out to be also.
