The fight club
The Fight Club is a movie directed by David Fincher and starred by Edward Norton and Brad Pitt (Tyler Durden). Is is also based on a novel written by Chuck Palamiuk.
The
action takes place nowadays in an American city. The main character is the
narrator of the story, interpreted by Edward Norton, but we never get to know
his name. He describes himself as the typical “Ikea man”: obsessed with having
everything he sees on Ikea's catalogues and new brands, but unable to feel
anything at all.
The
story begins when he meets Tyler Durden by chance. By chance, as well, they end
up living together and founding the “Fight club”, a club where men meet to
fight, and whose main rule is “You do not talk about fight club”. All these
facts, together with meeting a very strange but interesting woman, Marla
Singer, will turn the narrator’s life upside-down.
In the end nothing is as it seems to be: Tyler Durden is not simply a man full of energy and criticism against society, and the Fight Club is an organization deeper and more dangerous than a simple club of fight.
Personally speaking, I think it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.What surprised me above everything is the ending of the story, and the final image is completely beautiful and poetic for me but, obviously, I cannot tell anything about it.
Now get ready to work!

A different Saint George's Story
Legend has it, that Saint George was a knight who travelled on his white horse.
He arrived to a village decimated by a fearful dragon just the day before the princess had to be sacrificed.
With his sword and courage, he killed the dragon, saved the princes... and the village, of course.
But...
What would have happened if Saint George was an impostor?
... or if he hadn't killed the dragon?
... of if he had fallen in love with the dragon?
Think of your own invented story about Saint George and post it in your blog!
It can be a writing, a presentation, a video, a sound recording... choose your favorite format!
It is not mine, but this is a good example!
