The outrage over China's edit is unwarranted, or at least inconsistent,
given how Fincher's adaptation took generous license with Palahniuk’s
ending.
If there's some greater lesson to be drawn from Fight Club, then
consider me an all-dancing, all-singing snowflake. I was enthralled by
the film for its slick noir aesthetics, asceticism (an early
twenty-something cannot help but rage against the machine), and the
performances, especially Norton's.
Now if China removed the closing-credits jump-cut, *that* would be a
crime against nature.
