FIGHT CLUB

My clip is from the movie Fight Club. This clip is the scene where Brad Pitts character pours acid on Edward Norton's character to make him a "man". This clip starts out with Brad Pitt wearing goggles and gloves, meaning he's working with something dangerous. After he pours the acid all over his hand Edward colpases in pain, showing how badly it hurts. Right after the acid is poured on him he flashes to his "happy place" and Brads character gets mad making him realize the pain and tells him he will die someday. He flashes back and forth between the intense pain and imagining his happy place, his escape. Norton starts freaking out too much to Brad whips off his goggles and gloves, showing he's not worried about the acid. Edawrd keeps thinking about words like burning and flesh, making the pain more intense. Brad slaps him while hes off thinking, and tells him "it the greatest moment of your life man and your off somewhere missing it". He tells Norton that he can put water on his hand and make it worse or he can suck it up and wait to be given viniger to neutralize that effect, and stop the burn. The cameras swithc back and fourth between Edwards face and Brad adding a dramatic effect. Edward tells him "you dont know how this feels". Then Brad shows him his hand, wtih a huge burned scar on it. The camera zooms in on Edwards hand. It's steaming and burned really badly. Brad steps back, flicks the cap off the vinegar and pours it all over his hand. Norton falls to the ground and grabs his burned hand. Brad says "Congratulations your one step closer to becoming a man."

#8 seasons

The leaves change color
They fall swiftly to the ground
Only to be stepped on

The days get longer
People go outside to play
The weather gets warm

Rain drops start in clouds
Falling on my umbrella
Landing on my boots
