I love how fight club itself represents gaining back what men have lost. But Project Mayhem is the extreme of that extreme. In their focusing of that aggression outside of the consensual fights, they become much like they were before. They are just slaves with different clothes, and a false sense of purpose. When the Narrator shoots Tyler, he just takes back control. He becomes the middle ground of extreme aggression and extreme emasculation

@Darryl Revok stop huffing your own farts, Chuck Palahnuk himself has stated multiple times that the entire point of the book is to underline the toxicity of putting your pride before your humanity. If destruction and violence is the only way you can break away from being a soulless drone then there is somrthing wrong with you. There's multiple reasons people don't wanna get drafted for war. Personally, I fucking hate the leaders of my country. Like you wouldn't believe. If I could piss in their IV bags, I'd drink a gallon of coffee beforehand so I have enough to drown the old gits. But especially in the US the sentiment is chiefly that it's not their business. I don't agree with that, but it has nothing to do with fear or manliness and everything to do with the persoective that There's plainly no reason to fight. In Russia, the people refusing the draft do so on moral grounds. Very good for them. To see it all as a matter of being brave or any other kind of shit is to limit a complex person's worldview for your own convenience.

My favorite part of Fight Club is all the subtle visual hints throughout the movie about Tyler's true identity. Like when Tyler crashes the car on purpose, but we then see "Jack" crawl out of the driver's side of the car. Or how Tyler calls a payphone with a notice that says "no incoming calls".

Also when Marla asked "Who were you talking to?" After Tyler fucked her it's implied that Jack / Tyler is talking to himself. Also, "Jack" said in his work when confronted to his boss, "Suddenly, Tyler's words come to me." And noticed in the beginning, Jack wasn't a smoker but then he starts to smoke ever since "Tyler" consumed him. And Marla implied that Jack / Tyler is getting more passive aggresive to her and she has enough of his bullshits.

Another example was the scene where Tyler is in the bath tub talking about his dad. I can't remember exactly how it goes but marriage is brought up and the narrator says "You can't get married. I'm a 30 year old boy." To which Tyler responds "We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need". Notice how the narrator says Tyler can't get married but refers to himself as the 30yo boy instead of Tyler. The slip up is actually a real phenomenon with people who talk to themselves due to losing touch with reality. This is one of the few movies that get better every time you watch it.

Tyler's speech about the lost generation hits hard. "We work jobs we hate to buy shit we don't need."

true but it's more than that. arts in general try, or strive, to be syncretic, andt theater and cinema do it best. by "syncretic" I mean that the audience is a pyramid that is composed of layers of different cultures, beliefs, intelligence and so on. so when the audience watches a movie like this, or like "Clockwork", different people understand different parts from it. In other words, the top of the pyramid understands the existential problems within Fight Club, and the bottom of the pyramid think it is a action/fighting movie. As a form of art, it is not judging the audience, it gives something for everyone. And there are so few movies that do this, it's way harder than it appears and it's so unappreciated.

It first started with the fight clubs and grew larger the more ppl flocked to the idea, the idea of rejecting a comfortable, but meaningless life. The crucial question though is, did he intentionally cultivate a cult of personalty? I don't think so, although we primarily see Tyler trough the eyes of jack and therfore don't get the whole picture of Tyler's action, it is hinted in the movie that he is more of a thread puller always on the move and one step ahead.

It is one of my favorite movies and whenever it is shown on a channel, I watch it and although many years have passed, its message is still current and current. a very interesting fact: the book on which the film is based is very difficult to find, especially in its hardcover version, so if you see it, buy it immediately.

Here's the thing about Fight Club's big twist: it doesn't matter how many times or how many ways they foreshadow it because the movie's surreal and over-the-top aesthetic successfully lulls you into thinking it's all part of "the show". You don't stop and think about why he's seeing weird one-frame inserts of Tyler all the time, or why Tyler got out of the wrong side of the car after the crash, because these things don't seem out of place given the fever-dream insanity of the entire movie. I have to imagine this was intentional on the part of Fincher; he used hyper-stylized cinematography to obscure the clues he was dropping in plain sight.

"I can't think of anything" I remember seeing Fight Club at our local multiplex in 1999 thinking it was going to be a run of the mill, brutal, punchy mash-up fight film, having not seen a single trailer for it, how wrong would I be. Fight Club chewed me up and spat me out and I've never looked at movies in the same way again and movies in general will never be this good again, apart from this one when you watch it for the second time, which is astonishingly better on the second viewing...and third and so on. A timeless, flawless cult masterpiece, a work of utter genius and if you were to snap this film in half like a stick of rock, it would read "Perfection" from end to end. I strongly urge everyone to watch all of the multiple commentaries if you own a copy as the attention to detail from Fincher goes beyond anything anyone else has ever attempted. The insight and level of detail cements the movie as a true great and in those 22 years that have passed, no movie has toppled it off of my number 1 spot of my list of all time favourites. Dead Mans Shoes is a very tight second but no others come close. "I still can't think of anything"

Very true. In some ways it was written for different audiences. I had friends who went to see it who saw it as a manly action flick more than anything, as well as female friends who saw it as a celebration of masculinity that they found almost erotic. And then there are the deeper themes of alienation and anomie that those of us raised in the same generation as Tyler felt our whole lives and that this movie finally put into words for us. Still amazed 20 years later that Fincher was given this level of creative control from a mainstream studio to make the movie he wanted, that almost perfectly captured the novel it was based on.

I just finished watching this film age 26, for the first time. What a fucking masterpiece. I didn’t call the twist until it happened which is a far cry from every movie I’ve seen over the past 10 years where I’ve called the end 9/10 times. Never a dull moment too.

The film is brilliant but also kind of misinterpreted by many imo. It clearly suggests that Tyler is someone the protagonist has to overcome. If one glorifies Tyler for being so cool one should reflect on what makes him or her believe this. Is he mature because he does how he pleases? Does his egoistic behavior make him a great man? Isn't he building the exact society of conformity he wants to destroy? It is kind of summarized when the model Brad Pitt asks if a man should look like the portrayed man in an advert! That's the point. A mature man cares about his family and maybe does his shitty job to earn the money to do so. Tyler does only care for himself and his projects. But he is charming and flirts with his audience. He attracts boys like our protagonist and a bit too many people in the audience. In some sense, he is like a pickup artist, a boy we should overcome.

His name is Will Jordan. When drunk, a writer has no name.

I think it's technically "Jack" since he was reading the books about the organs in first person, it's hypothesized that he was using his own first name when reading them, since later he still refers to first person reactions as "I am Jacks inner rage" "I am Jack's cold sweat" and so forth I might have butchered the quotes a little since it's from memory. The actual Fight Club book by Chuck Palahniuk also gives off the feeling that he really was just inserting his name when reading those organ books.

I consider personal development and outspoken honesty the simplest way to grow oneself into an opponent of such things. It requires constant iteration and improvement but so long as you can question premises, and otherwise play your own cards while getting through the system’s defenses, things will change at least locally. And that’s inclusion critical of one’s own methods rather than hollow activism etc. There’s no intellectual shortcut to engineering a better society. Such things are inevitably authoritarian. I’d be lying if I said I had an explicit game-plan, suffice to say I have faith in rugged individualism of a sufficient depth to stand firm against the motives of weak minded people as I believe to run society in the wrong direction. If you can live up to being a good man, you become an enemy of malicious people simply be securing your own life and values.

Awesome. I saw this when it came out (I was 17 or 18) and I admit I didn't see the end coming. It is one of those movies that makes so much more sense on a second viewing I literally started it over as soon as I finished it for the first time. Very quotable too, especially with everything happening in the last 10 years.

Lets not forget the crazy awesome music...From the Intro to most scenes. Plus the quotes

This and Demolition Man were grave portents of the future.

I love Demolition Man but I was amazed just how much Stallone was doubled 🤣 Going back and watching the old Arnie flicks revealed much the same. Strange how they're considered action stars.

Indeed ! I was just telling some friends about Demolition Man a couple of months ago, and how it reflected 2020 eerily well.

I was 19 at the time. Went 3 times to cinema to watch this pearl. One of the best movies ever.
