      What too far you didn't understand the movie it meant that how toxic masculinity can destroy society he was not a hero he didn't care for anybody but himself these characters like Tyler and patrik Bateman are to be hated if you like them you didn't understand the movie

      @@Khooni-p3i didn’t say i like them…..what Tyler said/mores and values he preached weren’t wrong (on a grand picture level). Masculinity is dying and modernity is killing what it means to be a man. The line of hero/villain gets crossed is when those ideals are transposed to physical attacking/harmful acts to others. This video makes the claim that masculinity is what made him a villain. No, it’s when he took it too far

Thw truth is no one is a "real man" or really masculine it's all bullshit. Do whatever makes you happy as long as you don't harm others.

    I'd say Tyler Durden is not a villain he is a hero I like you watched fight club in my teens and have gone through a bunch of similar things to you however he to me represents what a man should be. He takes what he wants, he has convictions and a drive towards a noble goal, he will sacrifice for that goal and doesn't care what the morality of our world says.
    He is unbound free and capable with only his judgement and ideals that can sway him. This is what makes someone exceptional nowadays we have nothing to strive for, nothing to sacrifice for and nothing to live for. This is due to the pain aversion our current society fosters both physically and psychically, we avoid conflict because we are afraid of being hurt, we avoid standing up for what we believe in because we are told it is wrong and fear the social ostracism that being wrong causes.
    In short we are slaves to those around us with no mastery of anything in our lives and no hope that this will change. Tyler is free in all the ways we are not.

    • @friendlyneighbourhoodsunwheel
      @friendlyneighbourhoodsunwheel Год назад +3

      Addition Tyler has accepted that we all need a purpose and that most people don't have a purpose or reason for living that most people are going through the motions, they are no better off under the current society as they are in his ideal world but with his ideal world they might come to find something worth fighting for.

      Your completely right. Comfort has killed humans pursuit to purpose. By starting back to ground zero, he brings a clean slate for people to take up responsibility and make something of their life. I think Tyler is an extreme example but one worth understanding as with any exceptional figure or character. Btw just from the way you type I can’t help but feel you read Nietzsche. I like you!

      And that's what Tyler was trying to achieve in the book a return to a more sincere and primal state for man, where everything has meaning.
      Yes I have read more of his earlier work than his later and I'm sure you'd like this interpretation of fight club who breaks it down through the lens of "Das spoke Zarathustra" ( ruclips.net/video/NpxHFNvlUmU/видео.html )
      I hope you find something of worth in the review.

      Tyler's character is basically in a way relating to men in our current day. Especially on TikTok, people like teenage boys are conforming to their circumstances and constantly complaining about how their life sucks and how they feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. These people can basically relate to Tyler because Tyler doesn't follow rules, Tyler exits the comfort of his own bubble for his own personal benefit. He's like a failed attempt at self-improvement, it's why people are saying
      "I'm on my villain arc"
      because, despite their efforts of holding it together, they feel the need to give up and pull themselves away from morality and neglect the basic ways of human interaction and resort to toxicity. For me, Tyler is an example of current teenage boys, instead of resisting and improving themselves they conform to their own intrusive thoughts and let themselves go in the context of nihilism and disbelief for themselves and other people. In other words, great video, you really pointed out all the things Tyler is. It's almost like he's telling us to be these things but at the same time, he's mirroring what we shouldn't be.@@younes7671

      tyler is a great man but not a good one. he's the archetypical nietzschean overman. his pursuits are never constrained by morality. but I wouldn't call him a hero since that word implies both greatness and goodness. and someone who's that outwardly malicious in his nonconformity ( traumatizing innocent children with porn is morally indefensible) cannot be described as 'good'. in essence he's the perfect idealization of masculinity, in both its best and its worst aspects. to such and extent that tyler durden is more of a concept than a character

  • @DoomsdayOps

    "I am free in all the ways that you are not." Tyler wasn't the hero for the masses. Tyler was the hero for himself, willing to give up who he was to be reborn as something better than the crap he was handed. That's how I view it. And from that perspective I can see where he was right. The men of project mayhem were never free like he was. Maybe if the goal of returning everything to zero was achieved, they might have been freed, but they will never be Tyler. I really think the end goal was to make the world conform to him. I can't fault him for wanting that. There's something deep in there about how we all feel about the world around us.

  • @Small_child_punter
    @Small_child_punter Год назад +12

    I admire Tyler durden not because of his overrall goals of destruction. It’s his personality and ideals of going after what you really want. He can have fun and look cool doing anything. He doesn’t care about having a big house or a car. He is totally interested in people becoming what they want to be. Him threatening the gas station employee into becoming a vet is a particularly amazing demonstration of how we slack away in our lives. We don’t go after what we want because everything about society tells us to be restrained and confined. We’re trapped. It’s a prison. Tyler is right about that. He broke that mans chains by threatening his life.
    Having fun, doing cool shit, dressing weird are all the freedoms we have in this society, yet so many things keep us from expressing ourselves that way. But Tyler doesn’t let himself get held down. Its admirable.
    Whats a job you want to do? Whats something you can really be interested in? Why arent you that thing yet? Its because you have time right? You dont feel like it right now? You got bills, you wanna stack a little bread. THESE ARE ALL EXCUSES. Push through these things.

    my ending of the movie still will be that by the start of the movie the bomb is still ticking and the narrator is upstairs already. when he cuts the wires at the end he worries that tyler could trick him. so after the credit rollig the last building is also exploded just with a delay.
    the controll at the end wast about the gun but the wires 😉
    tyler disappears because the narrator deep inside accepts the fact that one day he will die, we all die, and to finish his plan to destroy the bank system and die a noble death he needs the help of tyler to keep him busy. when the last building stays then all his efforts was furtile

    I'm an Anarchist who hates consumerism, too. But the difference between me and Tyler is that I FLATLY reject Nihilism as a philosophy. All throughout the book, he's telling the Narrator, "You're stupid, you're weak, you're going to die, and until you know that, not FEAR it, but KNOW it, you're useless to me." TO ME. As in, Tyler wants to be the unjustified authority in this duo. And Anarchism only rejects unjustified authority. NO authority that tells you that you are stupid and weak is justified, and a real Anarchist would live by a good set of self-imposed, on-their-honour morals. I mean...I might just be saying that because it's what I do, but nothing about THIS is illegal: no theft, no waste, no violence, and, most importantly, no misanthropy. There. You can keep your rules to an "I can count them on one hand" value, but still cover all of morality. In my first reading or two of the book, I thought to myself, "You know, I liked him until he turned into a Fascist," but he was ALWAYS a Fascist. There was no "turn in to."

    For all the talks about freedom in the comments, no one prevented Tyler from living and surviving alone in the woods. He is a childish parasite benefitting from others. Still glad to be waited on at a restaurant table, getting on a plane, buying beer etc. Acting nice and charismatic in public while fighting "the system". What does that even mean? He lives in it, is a part of it. Individual, absolute freedom does not exist. The ideal seems to me a sort of perpetual teenage crisis. Note that Brad Pitt asked for one of Marla's quotes to be changed in the movie (I think that was in the writer's interview on Rogan) because his mother would watch the film. Quite the mama's boy himself and hence fit for the role.
