Fight Club ni le prispodoba o (samo)destruktivnem begu posameznika iz ujetosti potrošniškega nesmisla, temveč (tudi) parabola upora zoper nezmožnost poistovetenja s prvobitnim moškim/očetovskim principom — odraža se v sprevrženi percepciji psihosocialnih norm in nevrotični konfrontaciji ter boju (dobesedno "z golimi pestmi") s samim seboj. Dodajmo še patološke predstave o ljubezenski zvezi in vlogi ženske, metaforični upor maskuliniziranega segmenta potlačene moške dominantnosti, ki v ničemer ne najde prave identifikacije in opore, zato njegov dezorientirani razcepljeni um primanjkljaj kompenzira tako, da ustvarja namišljene alegorične osebnosti — ter izvrstno igralsko zasedbo (Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bontham Carter) — pa dobimo enega najbolj izvirnih (in vplivnih) produktov ameriške literature in kinematografije zadnjih desetletij.

Produced and directed by George Albert Smith, the film shows a couple sharing a brief kiss as their train passes through a tunnel. The Kiss in the Tunnel is said to mark the beginnings of narrative editing. It is in fact, two films in one, hence the 2 min length. Firstly, the G.A. Smith film here for the central cheeky scene in the carriage. The train view footage however is Cecil Hepworth's work, entitled 'View From An Engine Front - Shilla Mill Tunnel', edited into two halves in order to provide a visual narrative of the train entering the tunnel before the kiss and then leaving afterwards. More information about the filming of the phantom train ride can be found searching for the Hepworth film separately.
