The 3 Act Film

          For my three act movie, I'll be talking about Fight Club. The first act, or the introduction, begins by actually starting at the end of the movie and then going through a flashback. It introduces the main character's insomnia and builds up more quickly after meeting Tyler Durden. It eventually peaks when they first introduce the actual fight club. The second act, or the complication, begins with the start of the fight club. It escalates as Tyler Durden starts giving the members more and more violent and destructive "homework." I would have to say that it peaks when the main character, often called the narrator, finds out that he and Tyler Durden are, in fact, the same person. The climax starts after, with the narrator turning himself in to the police to try and prevent Tyler from blowing up the headquarters of all the major credit card companies but winds up having to escape. He is eventually knocked unconscious, which is when Tyler gets control of his body. Then the peak is when he actually finds out how to kill Tyler. Unfortunately however, he didn't stop the bombs from going off and the movie ends with the buildings falling in the distance.
