Review

the first commentary track is really good, it features brad pitt, morgan freeman and david fincher. they talk about their approaches to acting (for the actors) or to filming (for fincher), they relay funny/interesting anecdotes, they talk about the technical, the artistic and everything in between. good stuff. the film itself is one of my favorites of all-time. it captures the mood so perfectly, but doesn’t put style over substance. there are all sorts of nice fine touches throughout that add richness to the story, character, setting and overall mood. there’s also a couple different philosophies that are addressed in the film and, unlike fight club, they present themselves in a subtle and difficult way. it has comic relief in a film that could have easily forgotten about this very important element. it has just about everything i could ask for in a movie like this.
