@no no no what the story means is that a man must not become Tyler Durden who is imprisoned by his own efforts to free himself or the narrator who completely surrendered his self to the broken system.. A man must find a balance between it.
A facile interpretation both of Nietzsche and FC. TD represents the empowered masculine archetype who liberates the narrator from beta-sization and consumerism. TD is not a nihilist fighting for anarchy. Rather, Project Mayhem is the destruction of a spiritually empty and corrupt social order. It is the beginning of a new system reconstituted on a higher consciousness, which is what the alt-ego represents. TD is assimilated into the narrator at the end of the film (not killed) as he attains and new, higher evolutionary state, a new consciousness.
Yes. You did a great job laying it out but I want to offer a different way of explaining how Tyler was assimilated. The narrator integrated his shadow.
Good review. When that movie came out and people a started video taping their at home fight clubs I realized the point of this movie never hit home with a lot of people lol. It's like he was torn between two worlds or two personalities. The rebel and the follow the rules of society guy. The end was when he found a perfect balance between the two. Most importantly it was about letting go completely in life and stop trying to manipulate everything and just go with it. At least that's what I got out of it.
"We're the middle children of history man no Place or Passion, we have no Great War no Great depression our great war is our spiritual war and our great depression is our lives"
Laurent it was fun. Tough to find solid videos on RUclips...and this is a widely analyzed movie, but this was the best assessment I’ve heard. Subscribed...looking forward to watching more.
Anyone else keep in mind that Tyler Durden is a professional con artist and also personally feels like Tyler Durden is actually a real person that tricked Edward Norton so bad that Edward Norton just thought that he was crazy? I mean if you pay attention Edward Norton is a busy man, constantly going on business trips or working in the office 9-5. And in his downtime he's obsessively spending his life's earnings on furnishings for his apartment. Norton's character doesn't know anything outside of his life of insurance and home decor that would lead him to be Tyler, nor does he have the money to buy a rundown house on the outskirts of the town. Let's remember that everyone else in this movie is real. Why would it be any different for Tyler Durden? The thing is that nobody realizes is that Tyler Durden is a genius of a con artist. He planned to play Norton like a pawn before Norton even made contact with him. He knew who Norton was and used him as part of his agenda. He swapped luggage cases with him, he blew up his apartment for insurance fraud, because he knew that Edward Norton was an insurance agent, he was always 3 steps ahead of us. He made the rules of 'fight club', and rule number 1 of fight club is that nobody talks about fight club. So simply enough, the number one rule about 'project chaos' is not to discuss project chaos. So the thing they don't show is that Tyler left town to expand or whatever the fuck Tyler Durden does, but when he left he felt he owed Edward Norton something and told everyone that he is now "Tyler Durden", the proud creator of project chaos, in which everyone followed the order in return driving Edward Norton insane, creating pure chaos. This is why you see blips of Tyler Durden before he was even introduced in the movie, because it gives you the idea that he's always been Tyler, which puts you in Edward Norton's shoes. And let's not forget, this movie starts off at the end, so Edward Norton is telling you a story from the the end of the movie how he THINKS it happened. If you pay attention we, the viewers, were the only ones to see those blips of Tyler before actually being introduced to him. Norton saw a psychiatrist and complained about insomnia, not visual hallucinations. The director came out and blatantly revealed this tactic when Tyler Durden would put quick sexual clips in theater movies. The only persons to see these clips were the parents and children in the theater, not the theatrical characters of the onscreen movie. It's sort of breaking the 4th wall in a sense. Maybe Tyler Durden is even such a phenomenal con artist that he's even tricked his viewers into believing Norton was crazy for all these years too and that's the real twist.
I'm open to the idea that Tyler (the con artist who was a psychology dropout) would take someone with insomnia like Edward and have him thinking that he had DID because severe insomnia may cause hallucinations and worsen DID symptoms. The childhood that Edward had would make him open to this dissociation and push the events of the movie forward with this mindset. Marla does see both of them, but they're all never in the same room together at the same time, making me think that Tyler groomed Edward to be the "ideal guy", but Edward had his moments of irritability because sleep deprivation trying his best to keep his composure. The only reason for the hallucination at the end is because the sleep deprivation got so bad that he fully imagined Tyler and picked a fight with himself despite Tyler being in a completely different part of the country knowing full well that Edward being let go of his job with plane vouchers was the last thing Tyler needed for Edward to fully bring Project Mayhem to Tyler's original vision, ultimately making Edward an independent character despite being subservient to what Edward thinks is his disassociated personality.
It would be a good basis for a short sequel where the Narrator sees his shadow is based on a real human being whom he encountered and had been manipulated by.
Well if you think chaotic and disordered lifestyle is what men should lead, then all I have to say is I feel sorry for you guys!... real men of strong character don't seek revenge upon the world because of their own lack of value, and before fixing the world they should fix themselves first!
@@thearchangel9835 Brad Pitt isn’t the heroic protagonist. He’s an antagonist representing an extremity. The two main characters are intentionally dualistic.
@@thearchangel9835 the whole point is he had to go to that extreme Because of his previous lifestyle. He was tired of it. So many others like him felt the same way for so long. Thats why they joined fight Club. Nothing wrong with connecting back to the nature of aggression and fighting. It was therapy to them.They did not kill or hurt anyone in the buildings that gone blown up. They got tired of corporate America and feeling dead inside. P.s when I had been going into a really deep depression. I had joined an mma gym. I went every single day and was getting beat down. I would look exactly like he did when he was at work (call center) Black eye, cuts, bruises. Everyone asked if i was ok. But I felt such at peace and it really pulled me out of that dark place.
These videos take weeks to make and the RUclips algorithm hardly recommends them. I really appreciate that you share 😊
This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time
magnificent content
It's actually funny how Tyler Durden breaks the first rule of fight club telling the second one
Lol touché, that was good.
That's the thing.. He wanted them to break the rules.. That's the irony in it
@@warden1606really?
@no no no what the story means is that a man must not become Tyler Durden who is imprisoned by his own efforts to free himself or the narrator who completely surrendered his self to the broken system.. A man must find a balance between it.
@no no no find true freedom.. Stop trying.. And truly let go..
We are the all-singing all-dancing crap of the world

Proof to your theory is TD final words, “what’s that smell” TD personality is finally physically merged with the narrator.

The Narrator finally admits that his name is Tyler Durden.

Great analysis! Thanks for posting.

Interesting theory, but it completely ignores the existence of Marla.

Good work!
Underrated! This changed my perspective on this movie.
Greatest Analysis I've seen now! especially the parts with Nietzsche
Thanks!

After learning about Nihilism I understood about Tyler Durden's philosophy.
Batman: The Dark Knight (2008) analysis and recap is now available! Check it out 🎉

hand of taylor 6:05
sus??
You break 1st role
My name is this channel and my favorite movie is fight club... cool.😎
Jajajajaja..... genius
It's interesting that you interpret Tyler to be an anarchist, because I always interpreted his character as a fascist.
no. the reason you do not talk about fight club is because fight club isn't empty talk. It is action. you do not talk about fight club.
Great content man, I’ll definitely be sticking by, you’ve got promise.
Thanks for your support!
I can't begin and end how trashy and bs this movie and it's whole philosophy is to me!!.. overrated by insane people!🖓
Blue pilled
Manipulated emasculated bluepill,lol
