So, making refutations of my evidence based on the book are by their very nature irrelevant since this is a film analysis of what David Fincher created, not the contents of the book.įor this reason no comparisons will be drawn in my evidence between the film and the book, since they are unrelated. The number of times I have had to explain this to grown adults is absolutely heart breaking. Remember, we are not talking about The Hunger Games or Harry Potter, folks. Those are examples of a book being TURNED INTO a film. It took the book and built on it, altered its meaning, and so much more.

The book is one thing, the movie is a completely different beast. I was just beating myself in the head for not having made that connection myself. There is a line about “fathers setting up franchises with other families,” and I never thought about connecting that with the fact that Fight Club was being franchised and the movie made that connection. Now that I see the movie, especially when I sat down with Jim Uhls and record a commentary track for the DVD, I was sort of embarrassed of the book, because the movie had streamlined the plot and made it so much more effective and made connections that I had never thought to make. This is par for the course when a great director is making a film adaptation. Kubrick never even consulted Stephen King on most of what he changed, he had free reign. The book is vastly different from the film, entire situations and scenarios were added and removed deliberately by Stanley Kubrick to convey his own artistic intentions. The Shining is a perfect example of this. Film adaptations rarely stay true to the book, and are instead used as a foundation for a completely independent piece of art. It is important to remember that the book has virtually nothing to do with the film. Ah yes, the popular book vs film differences: these do not matter.
