Fight club is all about the terrible consequences of not opening up emotionally
Yeah but that would require them to pay attention to the story and reflect on it so they understand the consequences. For a lot of people, they never make those connections, and anything on the screen being depicted is also being encouraged and glorified in their minds.
Funny, I thought Fight Club was about the good guys winning the war against credit card companies with the power of domestic terrorism.
Or it was good guy trying to fight modern art and ending meeting God, and realizing his mistakes.
Could’ve sworn it was a 139 minute Lynchian carousel about the dangers of insomnia and consumerism.
The book maybe but the movie definitely glorifies the violence without direct context for why it’s wrong. At least to a degree that can be easily understood by the target audience of teenage boys.
So, the director hid a swastika in one of the shadows to indicate that he thought the society was evil, among a ton of other things. He talked about it in the director’s commentary. But yeah, it’s actually super easy to miss unless you know it’s actually a warning (which, like you said, the teenage boys it’s marketed to wouldn’t understand)… Which is kind of the problem with a lot of media, like the entire genre of cyberpunk.
He also didn’t even bother to finish the book he was making a movie about, so it’s clear how he thought the story went.
I mean he had read the recently released novel and started asking around for someone to pay for him to make it into a movie. So maybe you are making a “clever” quip about how he must not have read the ending to get it that wrong but that’s not how your message sounded with that wording.
Do you mean fight club 2 ?
I loved the movie which made me read the book and then I understood the message. The book is fantastic.

You don’t open up emotionally because you’re a sigma male.
I don’t open up emotionally because I fear ridicule and scorn.
We are not the same

Calm down robot satan.
