I am a Psychiatrist and this is not normal the Character has Avoidant Personality

I see a lot of people making similar comments, so I'm compelled to leave a comment of my own... even if most of these comments are several years old. Out of context, this might sound like advice or a motivational speech, but if you've seen the film, you'd know it represents the exact opposite. By the end, if I remember correctly, he’s unable to deliver his speech because he realizes he’s been wrong-especially about people and relationships. It’s a brilliant film that, much like Fight Club, deeply explores the philosophy of individualism. And, just as in Fight Club, people often miss the point: the film doesn't glorify or endorse the views of its main character. Instead, it builds them up only to tear them down. Tyler Durden is the villain of Fight Club. While he makes some valid points, he’s ultimately wrong. The same goes for George Clooney's character in Up in the Air. He makes solid arguments, but no matter how much he tries to distance himself from others, he ultimately craves human connection-showing that even someone like him, at their core, longs for genuine relationships, just like the rest of us.

yeah but at the end of the movie he's wrong he's a lonely asshole

I sent this to my brother. Who is a Horser and doesn't realize it. And it's really sad. He's been carrying around his crap for 20-30 years and thinks someday he will need some. All? I don't know. But I hope I can each him. I am the only one in my family that doesn't have the Hoarding Gene and I thank God for that.

When it comes to material things, i get it. But had we not slowed down for others, looked after those in our tribe, we wouldn't have survived living among natures most ferocious beasts and natural calamities to see the present day. We would have been extinct a long long time ago. Live the life you want, but let's not act like humans were built to be self serving the way this character is leading you to believe. When I was a lot younger, this scene did appeal to me as young people are often easily influenced by entertainment. Then you get older, you grow wiser, become more perceptive. You learn that it's really the swan in us that that makes us special, and it's the swan in us that could have saved the world. Unfortunately most do believe - we're not swans. We're nomadic solitary carnivores that live by power and consumption, moving from one place to another in search of better feeding grounds to seize for ourselves.

This is actually a very helpful scene for people considering making major life changes. It adds perspective on how much weight we put into our daily stresses. "The slower we move, the faster we die."

This movie really put life in perspective. I watched this movie in theatre when it first came out and this speech has always stuck with me. For the longest time, I’ve always relate to this speech. My life has always been on GO and I never cared nor did I want to commit to anything serious because I did not want it holding me back, but for what? I was 22 then and will be turning 36 in a week. Now I can honestly say that this isn’t what I want nor is it something I support. I come back to hear this speech every now and then to reflect on the changes and growth I’ve made in my life…. Because life truly is better with company and everyone needs a co-pilot.

This is for the minimalist. He makes sense to people who are selfish lol

We are not sharks.. sharks are sharks, humans can be so much more.

Your possessions possess you

haha this is so me. I'm a contractor in Africa. About to move into my 4th home in my 3rd country in 9 months. my whole life fits into a backpack. Whenever I ask myself if I want to own more shit or less shit .. it's usually less shit. I have a few good friends in the US and few good friends overseas but generally I take life as it comes and dont know what I will be doing 6 months or a year from now. but I keep a positive attitude. I'm friendly with coworkers. maintain a network and shit always works out for me. I have a bank account. that's what I own.

This is a stupid depressing movie about evil people who fire others

Maybe it's just me, but so many people here are interpreting this scene incorrectly because they are focused on the material-side of the backpack. He's literally advocating not having any relationships because they hold you back. Dude had thinly veiled depression but was projecting independence to hide it. If I was a psychologist I would say he had textbook avoidant personality disorder. We know this, because he gave into Alex and when that relationship turned sour it reconfirmed all of the beliefs he had about attachments to people. I mean, there's a whole montage at the end with people talking about how relationships got them through tough times. Ryan doesn't have that, but the irony is we learn the value of relationships through his loss. This wasn't meant to be an uplifting speech.

I find it confusing people praising this speech when the whole movie is him learning his philosophy was wrong

Baaaaby shark! Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo!

Anyone else here from a public speaking class? lol

Every now and than I watch this to remember and put things in perspective.

I carrying backpack more than year and people with cars and homes with garages always say "wow how much stuff you carrying"

Other way of saying what Stoics like Epictetus, Seneca said. Live life like you could lose everything

On my deathbed, I'd like to think I was surrounded by my caring family and not an online camera reel of selfies or a garage full of rusting sports cars that will be sold or donated after I'm gone. His philosophy only holds up when you gave your health and career. A good bout of cancer or paraplegia usually grounds most people. I've volunteered in a charity that deals with donated and deceased estates. It put me off buying "stuff" as I realise that EVERYTHING I own will be long gone soon enough.

People actually paid money to listen to this nonsense speech?

"...all those negotiations and arguments and secrets and compromises. You don't need to carry all that weight. Why don't you set that bag down..."

Anish giri?

that was the best movie scene in my life !! it really made me think ! 🤯

My wife, my ex-wife, my son, my daughter. That's it. That's all that's in the backpack. It's light enough for me to move.

If u live your life with few possessions, few relationships and always traveling to different you will be so much happier. I am a testament to that.

When Ryan is ready to pack up his stuffs and carry that bag for Alex, then he finds out Alex’s true life

LIVING OFF GRID AND NATURE THATS THE LIFE I LIKE

IN ESSENCE: OUR LIVES, FOR ITS FULL DURATION, IS FULL OF SHIT WE DON'T NEED (OBJECTS & PEOPLE) AND WE CARRY THEM AROUND IN A BACKPACK ON OUR BACK UNTIL WE DIE.

no joke this is why i became homeless.

Why would anyone want to live like this?? A life without meaning might be feel free, but ultimately worthless. Ryan's emptiness and lack of satisfaction is apparent throughout the entirety of the film. It's depressing.

The dislike votes aren’t sharks

NOW IMAGINE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T EVEN FAMILY !!!

Please watch the entire movie before commenting, otherwise you'll sound like a complete idiot. Put that in your backpack.

such a great movie !

He's sounding like a Jedi

Moral of the Story, Respect your employees. They stuff your backpack.

I think many people miss the point. Our lives are full of junk and people we don’t need. Quality and not quantity people. Having worked in cancer wards, spinal units and domestic violence units, I have met so many people full of regret for not doing more with life. We get caught up worrying too much about what other people think of us instead of what we think of ourselves. Money and possessions are pointless.

guhhhh just act

the slower we move the faster we die

People would take every single part of the speech literally and wouldn't comprehend the metaphor as a whole, it seems like Asperger is hitting very hard these days. If you didn't watched the movie then don't bother to make a statement, if you do, ask yourself; why? Why this man would say such thing? What is his purpose in life?, what drives him to do seminars about the topic? and what is the importance of not being centered about material possesions and most importantly, relationships? is it because is heavy, or is it because we don't like to make commitments or to stick with persons that dissapoint us in the end? Or is it that some people VALUE one thing over a bunch of many other things? The movie itself has a deep message about all these manners of seeing life, the perspective and how implement it despite the job he has that suits very well in the importance of personal relationships and solving things in a "human way." That's the paradox. There's a exquisite scene about the value of TIME. This man travels alone with a few things in his wallet, credit cards, membership cards, VIP access... but that's a valuable concept that allows him to be in the best places and in consequence to meet the best people. He sees himself as someone who is very valuable, he could even be very selfish and leave things aside as having a family or to bond with his sisters. The journey is about keep learning even when you think you have it solved, and how you miss certain things in the experience of discovering yourself. Even though the filosophy could be dangerous, it teaches to not being attached on anything or anyone but the moral is about to deal with both things before is too late.

I'm a swan.

Actually we, and sharks both have symbiotic relationships. Their are fish that clean sharks teeth. We get depressed/sick because we kill the creatures we live symbiotically with, with anibiotics, fluroidated water, alcohol etc etc. 1000's of different species of beneficial bacteria living in our digestive system.
