The characters in this film are wild. They are such off the wall people that they give the film an almost comedic undertone. Bob. While his bitch tits are absolutely gross and hillarious, the fact that this is a common reaction to such physical attributes is Palahniuk’s commentary about a large number of people in society. It isn’t Bob’s fault he has bitch tits, and in all reality its quite sad that he is such a bizarre character. Marla is a little different, her insanity is different from Bob’s in the sense that she is a much more intense character. The dark eyes and matted hair however, give her an almost cartoon-like image. The cinematography also adds to the intensity the audience feels from Marla as the shots ofter swing around her, and approach her face from odd angles. It will be interesting to read the physical descriptions about these characters in the novel.
