"Fight Club" conveyed an obvious irony at the beginning: modern people can only rely on consumerism to find themselves. Norton chooses a variety of furniture that "can reflect his own personality" to obtain satisfaction, which is a psychological supplement to the boring and humble life of a machine.
But Norton’s other self, Taylor Durton, hopes to directly confront this social system: I am bored with preaching movies, so he secretly joins pornographic clips like a prank; I feel sick at the gathering of high-class people, so I pee on snacks; Especially for the basic requirements of modern people-suits and collars, bright leather shoes, good looks, courtesy, avoidance of conflicts, and aversion to violence-rebellion, the fight club produced, is the most strong need to highlight the self. The identity of "social marginalized people" with a sense of presence.
However, with the expansion of the influence of fight clubs across the country, pure violence can no longer satisfy them. The pleasure of violence, like drugs, temporarily satisfies them, but it triggers a deeper and stronger desire for destruction. They are no longer just venting away from the social system in the underground cellar at night, but are beginning to target this society-people who live in accordance with the rules; the cars that these well-dressed people love and are proud of; they deceive the public's airplane safety grandiosely Manual; computers recognized by the public as "advanced things", and traditional values regarded as "beautiful" downtown sculptures... At this time, Norton felt that this was abnormal and had been out of control; on the other hand, he was addicted The satisfaction that Yu led this rebellion brought him more and more arrogant.
What makes me feel ridiculous, and annoying, is that for the other members of the club, the original meaning of the fight club’s emphasis on the individual has disappeared. Once the club was militarized, everyone became part of the parts again, a worker on the explosive production line, or a small member to realize the chief's plan. Fight clubs should encourage people to freely create forms of venting or sabotaging monotonous life. It should make people aware of this, not organized.
It is ridiculous that any good form, once large-scale, organized, and popularized, cannot avoid this path. When watching a movie, the first thing I think of is "union". The union originally encouraged workers to express their ideas freely. But now, once it has matured, with a clear division of labor and a clear hierarchy, the trade union has become an organism that can confront the capitalists. It will compromise with the capitalists for the overall benefit. If the wishes of individuals are not in line with the general public, Was ruthlessly obliterated. (Individual and Behavior, the founding work of Aguiris’ behavioral organization, clearly suggests that mature organizations and the overall development of individuals are inconsistent.)
Therefore, no matter what problem the club members face, they will only mechanically back up. "First, you must never question the task itself; second,..." I was really speechless. The most obvious and ironic thing is that when BOB was killed, some members proposed to bury the body and destroy the evidence, which was also approved by everyone-look at how a small group that originally valued the individual and warm Development becomes the benefit of the entire organization and obliterates the individual! Fortunately, Norton reminded everyone that "he has a name, he is called BOB", and this move caused everyone to repeat "he has a name, he is called BOB" in the end! ! Compared with a company, this organization is more like a machine that can control people's thoughts, brainwash and turn characters into pieces!
Regarding the ending, I have a few thoughts. First of all, ——related to
"love" ——————
always feel very funny, and finally add "love". I wonder, does Norton really have "love" with Mara? Looking at the whole film, does the heroine play any role, does it have any influence on Norton? No. (Only Taylor has an influence on Norton) She is just Norton's sexual partner. Is Norton really looking for her because he loves her? I didn't see it. I saw it more like being driven by the traditional concept of "being responsible to women who have been in bed". "Love" must be used as Norton's reason to prevent Taylor from continuing to destroy-as if no one would believe that a person can overcome his own impulse to destroy and violence with social conscience alone, and he must have a backing. "Love" is the most commonly used and most easily accepted excuse by the public.
——If a person is about to die, his words are also good? ————
In the final duel between Norton and Taylor, Norton thought he had fired a shot in his mouth. Taylor was the one who died. interesting. When individuals have to face death, how many people will retain the arrogant, individual, and rebellious Taylor? Humans will still choose the more traditional and kinder side, won't they? "People are about to die, and their words are good" probably for this reason.
——There is no way to go back——————At
the end of the movie, Norton and the heroine hold hands and watched the buildings fall down outside the window. At this time, there was cheerful music — why is this! ? He should be ashamed of himself! Norton should be ashamed of his behavior (can destroying the building create a better society?), why is it a happy song + exploding picture, a very beautiful look? Did the director finally make the choice of using destruction to express himself and destroy material life? ?
why! ? In any case, the building has fallen down and needs to be rebuilt. No matter how opposed to globalization, it will not stop global free trade. No matter how much we hate computers, we can't do without it. No matter how to destroy the company system, people will eventually choose the most efficient one. Isn't it? We cannot go back. Mankind is inseparable from material life.
David Fincher's "fight" is more like an economic crisis that happened in a short period of time: it destroys the existing system, it makes people reflect, and it destroys some too much material created by excessive pursuit of efficiency. It has its meaning. However, it is not the norm, and people will keep going. (Just like when you are angry, venting, or violent, you still have to continue to work, then rely on material things, and then continue to live.)
So, if I had a terminal illness, I would choose a caring group instead of joining a fight club.
