  Thanks for this review. I have been curious about this film for a while. Will watch it and the French version. As for what you said about the overall reviews for this movie, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a trend of new releases getting bad to mediocre reviews even if it did well with the target audience (Like the animated Super Mario Bros Movie).

  3:24 If Marla is another alternate personality, she would be the yin to Tyler's yang. Remember Jack's table that he describes as being "in the shape of a yin-yang?" In Taoism, that symbol is called a taijitu. The balance of yin and yang are what it represents. 5:12 Not that we don't want to have to think. Just that we don't want to have to obsess over tedious banality or "that which does not matter." 5:40 Some describe him as "a Nietzschean ubermensch." 6:27 Andy Tater is a Philistine barbarian. Change my mind. 10:33 It was by happenstance that he survived it because he put the muzzle in his mouth too far to the left. And by that, I mean the inside of his left cheek.

  You had my subscription before I even finished your video. A TV series for Fight Club would be amazing. I don't mind if it's modernised or works with the original but it's so necessary. Today really mirrors the sentiment of the 90s gloom in that we don't have a great struggle other than the hardships of our life. Inflation, cost of living, echo chamber division of culture and a heavy disconnect from each other. No one thing we can all band together and struggle through... I'd love further videos on this Also the bit you said about the narrator and both fearing and ideating death... Oof that hit home to some dark times in my late teens and 20s. I now love Fight Club even more

  Yes. At theaters, I remove my hearing aids and it's still too loud,. The opening sequence was worth the price of admission. I didn't take the movie personally because it seemed aimed at a stereotype rather than actual men. I think the sensitivity comes from a generation of TV commercials where the woman shows up the man. That gets very, very old. I was also out of sorts for days when a woman got in an elevator with me, and waited until I had exited before choosing a different floor. (A black college student said that he could stop people from crossing the street to avoid him by whistling Vivaldi). I take Morgan's point because in the mainstream media I read (Washington Post, New York Times), you'll see feminist, man-blaming articles often, but not one that blames women for anything. It's inconceivable. That makes me very tired. It primes the right-wing echo chamber to howls. I don't howl, but I do know what they mean.

  I once had a gate agent at Canberra tell me she didn't think I could be American because I didn't have enough luggage. (I know what she means.) At work, I encountered so much defensiveness--a co-worker telling me that she was sure that in America, stores were bigger than this--pre-empting me, she thought. Or another who asked me what I thought was the best country in the world, and was quite anxious when I said everyone likes what they grew up with. Or the tour guide at Kata Tjuta who told me that Americans aren't interested in learning about aboriginal culture, only about observing how America does it better. Or the relocation agent who was that if I were from Texas, she was sure I'd want the biggest apartment I'd find. I talked to one lady about it and she said she expected the kind of brashness and arrogant self-promotion that we'd associate with a finance bro in the Street. I told everyone that Americans have no negative opinion of Australia at all--and it's the truth. Nothing. Everyone brought up the gun issue, and I told them that America was born in a revolution, and we reserve the right to do it again. A disarmed citizenry is an invitation to tyranny. I found that in Oz, people view the government as a benign institution, however much they savage the pols. To most Americans, it is a cancer that will consume all your money and freedom unless continuously trimmed back. Gun control even gives my left-leaning wife the shivers. Thomas Payne wrote that "the tree of freedom must be watered with the blood of patriots in every generation". By that standard, we're way, way overdue. Someone once compared Germans to a coconut--hard-shelled, but soft if you manage to get through. Americans are peaches--soft on the outside until you hit a hard core you can't penetrate. Observation about space and time was dead on. It was a shock in London standing at the tombs of the Tudors--I knew they were real, but still, standing in front of them was a shock. At some level, they were still stories to me.

  Interesting take. The movie is full of death references, but I never took it as literal death. "Jack" clearly wishes he was dead, but as a personality, not a body. He has no respect for himself in any dimension. At the end, he doesn't become Tyler, he triumphs over Tyler, and I've always wondered who he is then. A synthesis? Back to "Jack"? The movie doesn't give us any clues, except that "You found me at a very strange time in my life" doesn't sound Tyler-like. A reboot. Never thought about that either, perhaps, because as you say, its themes are still all too much us. I believe the central theme is power vs. powerlessness. "Jack" is all too aware that he is a cog in a machine with no control over much of his life. He seems to have given in to despair and given up any sense of agency. Tyler controls everything and everyone. He's a fantasy only because he lives in a consequence-free world. My alter ego does, too.

  Great video, thanks for doing this and reminding me just how great FC is. Definitely my fav movie too. I agree with you that its as relevant today as it was when it first came out. I actually hope that a prequel isn't made, nor a remake for 2024. The film provokes thought and interpretation and its more about what it doesn't say than what it does I feel. I don't want those questions answered by someone else's prequel/remake. The story of FC for me is what happens in the viewer's mind, not what is shown on the screen. Just my 2p. Keep up the good work, YT is a tough place but more like this and you'll continue to smash it.

This cr@p is as woke as it gets and I found myself rolling my eyes the entire time, wanting to slap most of the arrogant Barbies. Especially the 'human' chick who went on a blubbering rant on how the world is so unfair to women. I was screaming at her to shut up because most of the stuff she whinged about was what OTHER women do and say and standards toward OTHER women.

  7:23 - I just can't take this line seriously. The movie was representing the real world as a place where women don't have any power and even had the mom monologue for a few minutes about everything that's expected from women. I felt like the line: "...and one day Ken's will have as much power and influence in Barbieland as women have in the real world" was a jab and a twist of the knife. Barbieland is staying the same, Kens won't even have a right to vote yet, but "one day" for sure, pinkie promise. That power and influence line wasn't saying to me that Kens and Barbies will be equal in Barbieland, it was saying it will be just as unequal as the real world, just with the genders flipped. I honestly don't know if that line was meant as a joke, but it was specifically pointing out the inequality between genders and whether you take the real world or the "real world in Barbie" as the comparison for how the Kens' future will it look like, it will not be equal until the real world changes to be equal.

  Where was the part in your gender reversal where they call her useless and at the end call her a little less useless. People aren't outraged because the film if attacking men, they're mad because the Kens are treated as shit on a sidewalk and then say that's how it is for women in the real world which is false. When the Kens took over they still showed love, respect and compassion towards the Barbies despite them being indifferent about their existance. Ryan plays the perfect role of an insecure teen with a crush. The movie spreads the perfect message to men: you are enough to become the best version of you. It also spreads the worst message to girls: you are perfect the way you are and you don't need to change, the world needs to change for you.

  I agree with you that this wasn't a movie that hated on men, but I also don't think this movie was feminist at all. I think there were a lot of layers underneath a feminist promotion. A lot of the messages were pretty anti-feminist. I'm not really looking to argue about it politically but I know there's going to be a few who do. But I agree with you for the most part. Barbie was kind of a bit evil, Ken wasn't dumb just naive and the movie doesn't hate on anyone in particular. It was more a movie about self discovery than it was anything else. The feminists will see it as feminists and will have good points to why they do and the antis will see it as anti and have good points too. I think that's what was done right. It was in your face funny without pushing any real specific agenda. I had to go see it with my niece and I thought I was going to be rolling my eyes the entire time but I actually got really invested. ... even as someone on the right with more conservative values. That was the magic of the movie for the most part. We live in a super divisive time and jump to conclusions too quickly. But if we could both right a college length essay on why the movie agrees with our side and both get a high grade than it probably doesn't align well with either. Edit** no never mind you lost me when you tried to reverse the movie lmao. No shade but I don't feel that it was even close to being similar. Like I said in my original part of the comment I think Barbie was just political enough to get people talking about it without being in your face. And the moment you take away the "supposed to be dating" aspect and trade it for "brother sister" you've already changed too much.

I'm sure you've heard this argument before but every Ken lived for the Barbies. But it's made clear they don't have a home to go in.

  “I stopped watching Matt Walsh and I recommend everyone else does that as well.” 💀 thanks for the fun review! One thing I would say, though, it’s not about men and women seeing the world differently, it’s about the world treating them differently. I have explained to a man about certain dangerous situations I have been in while just walking down the street and their response was, “well what were you wearing.” They could not understand how simply existing in a public space put me on the radar of some unsavory people.
