Fight Club (1999)

I once saw some woman on TV say how much she hated this because the violence was "pornographic". That upset me, because she totally missed the point of the film. Yes, there is a fair amount of violence, but its not about that - the fighting is a way to realise who you are: a mortal being here with others like you. When the men discover that, their jobs, furniture, etc. become meaningless and they rebel against it. 

The story told, is one of humanity and the struggle to be accepted one way or another. Even if it means fighting for it.
