Film Review Commentary
This is a film review intended for an educated adult audience with an interest in either the film Fight Club specifically, or cinematography in general. It is written primarily to inform, and secondarily to entertain the reader. The sophisticated vocabulary of the piece dictates its primary audience, as it includes abstract noun phrases such as ‘supreme messianic order’ which some younger audiences may have difficulty in understanding.
Saying this, however, the piece does achieve a level of informality - despite the sophistication of its lexis - through use of non-standard verbs such as ‘munching’, contractions, and implementation of the second person pronoun ‘you’ (p1 l12) to directly involve the reader.
