Film and Architecture, a student-run organization at the Graduate School of Design, screens Fight Club on Thursday as part of its series “Real/Reel: The Fashioning of Reality.” Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter star in this 1999 film based on the best-selling novel by Chuck Palahniuk that acts as a modern-day morality tale warning of the decay of society.
