Friggen hell, I am not having a great time with movies lately. First Mulholland Drive now Fight Club.
Someone please explain.
-
spoiler
a guy with a split personality kicks his own ass, inspires other people to join with him, and fight eachother. The evil part of him creates a terrorist group and they blow up buildings
that is a very short explanation
-
explain what?
[sp]that he was tyler durgen all along?[/sp]
-
[sp]The other side of him, his split personality, was formed because of the sad state of his life.[/sp]
theomen explained it pretty well though, just thought I would add on.
-
mm, i know that. I just cant figure out what the actual movie is about.
-
u got the whole plot in this thread from us, there\'s not much else to say.
-
Just the whole beating himself up, and creating this network of people. It just seems so unrealistic in a fictious sense.

Well, thats because its a movie. How long would it take you to figure that out? If I hadn\'t reminded you?
-
My guess was that he was "narrator" all along and created durden b/c he was a nut and his life was in shambles.
-
Crazy movie. Kinda confusing. His split personality is very sexy though.
note: I am not ghey like omen. :nerd:
-
* rapes serrano for calling him ghey...then relizes raping men is not a good way to prove he\'s not ghey...
-
Hey omen, can you post pictures of your sexy, buff, chiseled, Brad Pitt like body for me.... erm I mean Samwise?
-
Sorry Racer, not all movies can be straight forward like Glitter. :)
-
No, no, no, you guys have it all wrong.
The movie seemed to be trying to prove something, like, have some sorta point to prove. I thought it might have been symbolic in a consumer sorta sense. I dunno.
-
Consumerism is not the key to happiness
[sp]nor is setting up your own fight club, blowing up buildings or shooting yourself in the mouth (but not realy)[/sp]
-
Basically what ooseven seems to be some of the points they were trying to get across. There were quite a few smaller, more subliminal messages in the movie as well, but what he said seem to be the main points.
-
hahah, you actually tried to understand a David Lynch movie!?
Stick to Tellytubbies.
-
Fight Club is not David Lynch.
I understood MD more the Fight Club. I am gonna watch it again...
-
Was Fight Club really that hard to understand? It\'s been a while since I saw it... the twist was pretty cool, but mindblowingly hard to grasp?
-
I am well aware that Fight Club was not by David Lynch you ******.
He isn\'t confused by Fight Club\'s twist, it\'s Fight Club hidden message. Which is so painfully obvious that I am about to grow a beard to commemorate santa clause.
-
The hidden message in Fight Club (directed by David..... Lynch!) is: Don\'t be ghey or [sp]you\'ll end up with a cap in da head[/sp].
Ok, that was bad. I still need to see Mulholland Drive though (even though RaCeR did a good job trying to SPOIL it for the people who haven\'t seen it yet),
-
not sure if yer being facetious or not, but its david fincher, not david lynch

I know... it was a pun.
-
Fight Club is rather self explanatory.
[spoiler] It is about a man with a split personality and the basis of the topic is a couple things. Generation X grown and realizing that all we have been raised for is to buy useless stuff that we don\'t really need and how we , in general lack a soul. We\'re slaves to the franchises that we buy into and how sometimes pain is the only one to truly know and feel ouselves. [/spoiler]
At least that is what I got from the movie.
I think you need to stay with straight forward , no point movies like Glitter, RAcer.
;)

Supposedly, our generation is a generation of sissys. We have no great war, nothing to really call our own, but just a ton of useless crap constantly filling our homes that we constantly work and strive to achieve. When we let this happen, we lose touch with what we really are; animals who need to survive. Survival is not achieved through an IKEA book or having the best television set. Survival is achieved when you look danger in the face time and time again and come away clean. That\'s why he formed a terrorist group. Basically, it was to show that when you have lost all material possessions, life goes on and you can still survive. At least, that\'s what Tyler was thinking. The Narrator just didn\'t know he was doing it the entire time until it was too late. :)
-
You also can\'t forget the underlying message that we are a generation raised by women and the last thing we need in this world, is another woman.
;)
-
I suppose that\'s why Marla was there... right? ;)
-
Yah, but she looked like a man half the time, so that hardly counts..
;)
-
And we see the irritation she caused
-
Not to sound ghey, but I thought that the two of them were gonna get it on when Tyler was in the tub...
-
UHm gaydar :D It wasnt really two of them "phsyically" in the tub, only mentally and emotionally.

well if they did get it on hed be getting it on with himself and who hasnt gotten it on with them selves in the tub
i think the movie was trying to say something about male aggresion too that it can be harnessed into something constuctive but in the movie their constuctive male aggression was destuctive and it gets confusing
-
I learned that the blot that pops up on the upper right corner of the screen means that a frame of a penis will come up soon. :p
