To Each His Own Cinema- Fight Club

"Three Minutes.This is it- Ground zero"
David Fincher's Fight Club recently completed its 15 years. For me, It is undoubtedly the best movie I have ever watched. It's a satire on the structure of modern society and the growing Lonerism in Our Branded Lives. It's inspirational. It introduces you to the strength of your subconscious.
It's your best companion when you're low and it is philosophical in its own way. And there are so many hidden elements to look for in the movie that I find it fresh every time I watch it. 

We did shoot a 3-minute film !
3 Minutes(To Each His Own Cinema-FightClub)
Below is the screenplay I have written as a tribute to this great cinema.

To Each His Own Cinema- Fight Club


A guy is kneeling with a gun barrel in his throat.
GUY
(Voice-over)
People always ask me if i know them.

ASSAILANT
Three minutes. This is it. Ground zero.Do you have to say few words to mark the occasion?

GUY wakes up.He uses a towel placed next to him to clean himself up.He looks at the clock. It shows 3 PM.He gets up and starts walking towards the mirror.

GUY
(Voice-over)
For six months, i could not sleep. I could not sleep, could not sleep. With insomnia, nothing is real.

The projector starts on its own.
GUY
(Voice-over)
Everything is far away.

GUY looks at his laptop placed 3 feet away from him.Walks slowly and sits in front of it.
Someone knocks the door. GUY opens the door. He gets a punch right over his eyes. GUY comes back and sits in front of his laptop.
