Excessive freedom

The suspense of split personality combined with the exploration of freedom should be a good film. But apart from the overestimation of the adrenal glands being stimulated, I have only seen the overrated and unreasonable yearning for freedom.

The plot should have made people get rid of the shackles of life. Let people face their hearts. But what did Taylor do?

Murder and set fire. Smash cars, houses, artworks, and economic and trade buildings. Smash the bank. He even wanted to kill his own woman.

Say that we are all materialized, buy a good house, buy a good furniture, buy a good car, spend money, and put on clothes.

To smash everything, to give up everything in the nickname, you are free.

Even more idiotic is the members of the fight club, who will absolutely obey Taylor. Obeying others will also get freedom? Is it completely enslaved? Think that being enslaved is freedom?



The protagonist was enslaved by the material before, then enslaved by the yearning for freedom, and enslaved by "Taylor". The so-called freedom? ridiculous!

Freedom is not about spending money.

Freedom is not unrestrained.

Freedom is not about murder and arson.

Freedom is not about giving up everything deliberately.

Freedom is a state of mind. If you think you are free, you are free.

I do what I want to do is freedom.

I don't want to give up my clothes, my bed.
I like to wear cool clothes, just wear them!
I just like delicious food, just eat it!
This is freedom!


Instead of saying that throwing away all the clothes is freedom, I run naked. Obeying other people's ideas is the greatest unfreedom. That is the saddest thing.

If you want to pursue freedom, you must first understand what freedom is.
