I was actually very disappointed with the movie Fight Club.

Well, as hard as a film tries to mimic the storyline and the emotion, etc. in the novel it's depicting, it usually always fails. I expected it to suck.

When I read the book, it made me feel a lot better about the way I was feeling at that time in my life. The film didn't do the same for me.

Somehow, so much is lost in translation from text to celluloid. I have always wondered why that is? We as Humans are Visual creatures. It is after all how we navigate our world. We make a good number of decisions about our lives and futures based on;" how things look". Even sex, is highly visual. Especially for men folk. Yet it is the written word that commands so much over the imagination.
It seems, so much more information is conveyed via the medium of the written text. Is it that the author imbues so much more of him/her self in writing? or is it that text has the power to fuel the imagination of the reader? or, is the powerful tool of language even more formidable then colloquially mentioned?
Hum food for thought.

The film is exponentially better than the book because it doesn't have Palahnuik's prose in it.
