If you’re a fan of poetry and cinema you’ve come to the right place. Read my Fight Club haiku and find out little known facts about the film. Have you seen Fight Club already? Let me know what you think?
Purge with violence.
It might just drive you crazy,
don’t forget the soap.
The unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) is feeling disconnected and depressed. He then meets charismatic Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) — a travelling soap salesman. Both disillusioned with life, they decide to form Fight Club, an underground organised fighting ring for frustrated white-collar workers.
Soon Fight Club takes on a life of its own, with lots of equally disenchanted men starting up their own clubs across America. But, as the clubs begin to grow more and more extreme, can the narrator control the monster he created.
