So you're telling me that I lost my home, speed ran support groups, started fighting, used a cosmetics business as a front to obtain illegal chemicals, joined an anarchist collective, got myself arrested... and that wasn't even the point?!?!?!?!¡?;!!!
I got self identify and mastery from the movie. Expressed through quotes like ‘you don’t own your Possessions they own you’; moving away from consumerism. ‘Fight club’, ‘sizing everyone up you see’. Embracing your animalistic nature to know deeper about yourself. ‘Project mayhem’ rebelling against god and the constructs of society. Bob death. Realising actions have consequences. Tyler’s death. Finally getting control over your mind and grips with reality. After Tyler dies he becomes Tyler with his mannerisms. The movie was about self identity like you said. Covering many aspects. I like what Tyler said before death ‘I will not go back to watching tv’ wasting his life with non meaningless things. Movie was about self discovery of identity. And meaningless and emptiness of consumerism. Also how suffering molds these aspects.
Dude, you are killing it on this channel, and content of this quality should really deserve more appreciation and recognition than whatever this platform values now.
Really appreciate these massively kind words! I just try my best to put out the type of thing I'd like to see more of. Can't say for certain whether or not it'll ever thrive, but it means the world to me that people like yourself are resonating with it.
I loved your analysis. Fight Club is my all time favourite movie and what you describe is exactly what this movie did for me when it came out. It made me question my beliefs and reflect on what I wanted❤
I realized what he said at 1:35 when I was 9 and I this always made it hard for me to motivate myself to actually do something with my life. Especially in this awful world we live in.
my conclusion -stop being obsessed with things presented to you by magazines and social media, don't chase after others' life lifestyles or feel your void -anti - materialism -stop trying to define things that can not be defined.
I believe the whole film is a breakdown of toxic masculinity. Our narrator's ideal version of himself mocks women for trying to be ideal. He doesn't respect the woman he bangs and but also wants her all to himself and wants her to want him. He wants to take down the economy and undermine capitalism unless he's the one making money off of others. He wants to live in a sh!thole rather than continue a life where he is defining himself by what he purchases in order to be seen as an adult and adequate breadwinner. He'd sooner destroy himself than use his words and intelligence to get ahead at work. In fact he uses self destruction to destroy his boss' reputation and trick people into seeing him as a victim which he is not. If he doesn't follow through with the terrorist plots he created he calls for his followers to take his balls, a symbol of what he thinks it means to be a man. He wants to destroy any semblance of beauty another man has. He hates male beauty and expects his romantic interest to be more feminine and admit she never will have balls, and should stay out of men's spaces. He creates a man's space full of men without direction in life and abuses them in order to feel in control. He is completely unhinged but claims to know better than the men who look up to his toxic posturing. He doesn't even know himself. He struggles throughout the film to find himself, failing to comprehend even how he spends his sleepless nights. This is a story that doesn't make sense told from a woman's perspective. This tale of mayhem is extremely masculine and the fact that some men love this film but don't understand toxic masculinity is poetic as the film's cult members don't truly understand why they are doing what they do and how anything in Project Mayhem could benefit them. Toxic masculinity isn't beneficial yet cults like the Proud Boys still put masculinity on a pedestal above femininity and seek to have more testosterone in order to feel pride. But there's no pride in rejecting femininity. In the end our narrator takes the hand of our single female character and embraces her as an equal. They watch society collapse and feel comfort knowing they aren't alone in this hellish world.
Beautifully said, sometimes I wonder if the people that think this movie is about "reclaiming your masculinity" even watched it. The protagonist literally destory's everything around because of his fragile masculinity and it still flys right other their heads
@@jogclemson4430Actually he finally started living his life and not go to boring job every day to buy another ikea shelf. This is what everyone should do like with this guy in the store. He would go and pursue his dreams and do what he qanted rather than choose easy way out and continue living everyday like it used to.
I disagree. The characters made a choice they wanted finally in their life. They stopped caring about some mild pain or doing things that society expect them to. Its actually freedom for the first time from his boring life and boring ikea furniture
Youre a clown. It absolutely is about regaining masculinity. I'm so tired of you woke weirdos trying to put a spin on something because YOU didn't get it.
I think Fight Club is telling a spiritual story. The narrator is engaged in some kind of “spiritual materialism” with his yin-yang table and sterile office life. Then, as with prince Siddhartha, he leaves his safe environment and experiences ageing, sickness and death. But the guided meditations don’t bring relief and he creates a false ego in Tyler and tries to punish his body and give up material possessions. Still no good. Eventually he realises that to achieve true enlightenment (and not the premature enlightenment that Tyler refers to) he must kill his ego, dis-illusion himself and encounter reality for what it truly is.
My conclusion
- Be yourself
- Do what you love
- Let go thing you can’t control
- Focus on your purpose
- Carefree what people think
Thank you 😊

You broke rule number one
And rule number 2
🤓☝️
@@SubsonicFoil126”🤓☝️” 🤡
The whole point is to break rule 1
What a dumb*** 🧶
this film confused me so much
i thought fight club was about a fight club before i watch it, im so glad it wasnt
Well spoken and edited...Hope you get some more subs.
i watched your ahs video, absolutely loved it, so i searched up if you made a video about fight club, and you didnt disappoint
I loved your analysis. Fight Club is my all time favourite movie and what you describe is exactly what this movie did for me when it came out. It made me question my beliefs and reflect on what I wanted❤
Damn, this might be the best insight into Fight Club I've ever read. Cheers, now I'm a subscriber.
Finally, a video of the meaning of fightclub that I have a similar thought pattern of, and also that it contains no ideological grooming.
I like what you said at the very end. “It doesn’t have an answer or meaning. It only challenges you to question”
This was actually an incredibly deep take.
I realized what he said at 1:35 when I was 9 and I this always made it hard for me to motivate myself to actually do something with my life. Especially in this awful world we live in.
That was a piece of art
The song "where is my mind" is fcking deep
i feel like i rewatched fightclub in 4 minutes
1:11 just killed me 😂
His name is Robert Paulson
I am Joe’s blood boiling rage
Brilliant analysis, to the point
Brad Pitt was an idea in Ed's mind. Tyler Durden never wore a leather jacket nor dyed his hair.
What a good fucking end
my conclusion
-stop being obsessed with things presented to you by magazines and social media, don't chase after others' life lifestyles or feel your void
-anti - materialism
-stop trying to define things that can not be defined.
The one thing I can say for the certain is that the final scene wouldn't have been made post 9/11
This is so real
We don’t talk about fight club
I feel like Fight club and Southland tales are the same story.
Rule number one: we do not talk about fight club
Rule number two: we do not talk about fight club

Mid 30s, in 20s you live forever.

Meeep
Idk i like you

marla is not real
It's amazing how wrong everyone is about this film
Yes I'm the one who made it.
WTF?!

Ok stop. Its well know that this movie is about a man struggling with his masculinity in the wake of a testicular cancer diagnosis.
Wronnnnnggggggg
I can tell that you are gay.
Life is meaningless, it is up to you to give it a meaning.
