■ What happened in
1999 In 1999, Stephen Chow In "The King of Comedy", he played himself gracefully, with unparalleled persistence. But because of this, he may be destined to be an unfree person. That year, it seemed that it was still very hot. After my difficult first college semester, things seemed to get easier. I have given up some things and am no longer responsible for the collective and others. I hope that I only represent myself. But this may not be successful. I began to wear a fearless slacker, silently pretending to be coerced in school. I resist those stereotyped things, and no longer do boring things to please others.
In the summer of 1999, after an experience of going to the countryside that was so boring that I can't recall it now, the flood came. We were refunded, got on a military green bus, and rushed to a county in Yueyang to fight floods. Before arriving, no one knew what was going to happen. What happened later still makes me feel puzzled and bored, but it may not be a bad thing.
We spent more than half a month free to feed ourselves there. Half of the time we were playing cards. After that, I lost interest in playing cards. In the morning, we would eat a big bowl of instant noodles cooked in a big pot with two pancakes. There was always watermelon in the dormitory to cool off the heat and thirst; we accepted it again and again during the day. With ridiculous condolences, the smiles on everyone’s faces were unpredictable; when dusk fell, we stripped naked and took a shower in the yard, and a few middle-aged women hurried past by our side; I almost watched a whole movie of "The Ordinary World". I watched it a second time; I was electrocuted for the first time for a low-quality light bulb in a hardware store; I was finally shaved and went home with the same haircut as a dog... That ending makes me feel that everything is meaningless.
I had my first computer in 1999, which was new and expensive. Affected by the earthquake in Taiwan, a small memory of 64M is as high as more than 1,300. I have become more and more vigorous to accept the influence from the information age. I often took a whole box of floppy disks, escaped the school from the window of an off-campus store, and copied a lot of things back to the dormitory in the Internet cafe of the global village. I began to feel that everything is within reach, and that emotion is still intriguing even if I think about it now.
■Hit me as hard as you can
fight? No no no no! I don't do this kind of thing. Although sometimes, in my mind, I had beaten the bad guy ten thousand times until he knelt down and begged for mercy, but that still didn't stop me from striving to be a good boy since I was young. What the movie says is correct, most normal people try to avoid physical conflicts, and I can't avoid them. In my impression, there are only a handful of situations where there is a chance to create a fight, and the only few times have failed to form a one-on-one situation. Lao Luo is right. Children fight hard for development, and secondly rely on momentum. When facing a dozen or so people, what can you do besides accepting the birth?
Many times in my home school, I often saw scenes of group fights, even from indoors to the playground, from the playground to the street, and finally ended in the hospital. Once something happens, irrelevant children gather quickly, forming a crowd outside a safe radius, and there is only one wish in their hearts, so take it longer. In many cases, another group of hooligans in the teaching office will appear in a timely manner, quickly stifling our good wishes. But after all, on that day, everyone was excited, and their faces were filled with joy from the heart, as if it was themselves who had won the fight.
Fight, fight, or simply fight, whatever it is called. The author of "Fight Club" must be very bad and fully understand the weakness of modern people. Think about it, the dull sound of a fist hitting the skin, how can it not make blood flow up. Fighting is one of the most primitive impulses of mankind. In this relationship, you must find a way to take all risks, use your body to catch the opponent's heavy blow, feel the pain, produce a vengeful heart, and fight back in anger. The kid picks some color. The only way to stop is for one of them to fall to the ground.
But modern people are very annoying. Walking on the street, you grab your neck collar to beat someone, and there will always be more people running out to grab you. A kind-hearted old man tells you that the young man calms down and has something to say, let’s talk. It makes sense. Originally your adrenaline was about to squirt out, but in the end it can only flow like a trickle. Later, you also felt that something was wrong with you. It is a barbaric act to be rough. As people in a civilized society, we should be gentle and gentle and enjoy a harmonious society as soft as cotton.
In the end, we all became the same as we are now. Dressed neatly, with meticulous hair, smiling when you see people, ask for directions and say hello first, and despise all rude people. In the face of power, we humbled our knees, and in the face of subordinates, we were arrogant. We tried our best to resolve the conflict on the desktop, and the final anger can only be turned into a rant, let that annoying guy get out, or stay away from him, but no one will take action, even though you really want to say, come, fight me!
■What kind of story is it?
After watching "Fight Club" several times, I did some sorting. The story is like this-
Jack is a little poor boy. When he was six years old, his father left him and his mother. After studying at a university, he joined a large automobile company and was responsible for flying to various places to assess car accidents, and then submit various reports so that the company could decide whether to recall the problematic models. . He is a small staff at the grassroots level, but it is basically enough for him to live a life as a white-collar worker. At least he has the money to buy furniture from IKEA to fill his apartment. But when he buys these things, he is more thinking about which one can represent me.
What is not so good is that Jack suffers from severe insomnia, which can even last for six months. Since he can't sleep, Jack also does some part-time jobs eight hours away. For example, hotel waiters, movie pickers, make handmade soaps and sell them to department stores. He did it with a fun mentality, so he did a terrible job, except for selling soap. As a by-product of making soap, Jack taught himself to make explosives.
In order to alleviate insomnia, Jack began to pretend to be a variety of patients to participate in some clubs about the ultimate care of life, and was very comforted. Until he met Mara, he found that Mara did the same thing with him and shared the same happiness. He fell in love with this crazy woman at that time.
As a schizophrenic patient, Jack is quite excellent. He hates himself in reality and tries to escape. He blew up his apartment, replaced it with another filthy and evil house, and stayed like Mara here. Crazy Jack fought with himself at the entrance of the bar and eventually became the leader of the crowd. He founded a fight club and opened chapters all over the United States. Jack's anti-social views are widely recognized by members. In the worship and trust of everyone, Jack planned and implemented a plan of destruction to destroy N credit card centers. After achieving his goal, Jack finally lived a happy life with Mara. Well, the last sentence doesn't count.
Probably that's it. After what I said, the movie was finally lackluster.
■It’s just the symbolic
advertising of modern society tempting us to buy cars and clothes, so we work hard to buy things we don’t need. We are a generation forgotten by history, with no purpose, no status, no world war, no economic panic, our The war is only the battle of the soul, our panic is only our life. We have watched TV since we were young and believe that one day we will become rich, celebrities or rock stars, but we will not. That is the reality we are gradually facing, so we are very angry.
Work cannot represent you, bank deposits cannot represent you, the car you drive cannot represent you, the things in your wallet cannot represent you, and your clothes cannot represent you. You are just one of the ordinary beings.
This can be regarded as the director's accusation against modern society through Pete's mouth, and it may also be the most valuable part of the film. Worst of all, the director makes the audience feel involuntarily in it. We understand and sympathize with Jack's plight, and then get pleasure from Taylor's behavior, but still insist that Jack is a good person, and only Taylor is an evil element. In the end, we find that they have been played with by the movie. It turns out that they are in the same group.
Modern society is mature and efficient, and it is so good at symbolizing everything. Everything, especially commodities, can be given a simple and straightforward meaning. Ikea Starbucks, your whole family is a petty bourgeoisie; Beetle MiniCooper, what a pity, such a beautiful girl is actually a mistress; Apple Computer, you are really pursuing perfection... Even if you are a very complicated person, the system of modern society It will quickly turn you into a symbol, corresponding to various classes such as constellation, blood type, age, knowledge, personal income, and so on. You can't resist, and even have to use this system to express yourself, so that in the end you don't know what you want. Obviously, this way you get deeper and deeper, and even begin to use this set of values to evaluate others. We began to become indistinguishable, all products of modern society, but with different labels.
Maybe we think too much. We always have to survive in a set of concepts, but the populations are different in different concepts. Modern society is one of the most ambitious and vulgar. If you oppose him, you will be mixed into another system at the same time. Even in the anti-social system of the Big Destruction Plan, there are destined rules in it, which are inevitable. When I say this, I have become more relaxed. Everything is nothing, it doesn't mean anything. You can continue to choose popular values, or you can go back to your own hole and enjoy yourself. It really makes no difference.
■How the system was built The
most exciting part of the movie is probably the final planet of Taylor, a system that does not require management but can operate effectively. Every individual can stick to their posts, follow the steps, and reject all changes at the same time, even if it comes from Taylor's own instructions, it is really exciting.
Such a system has repeatedly appeared in reality, and I am very interested in how to build such a thing, which is huge and complex and can operate correctly. Taylor created the fight club and used each other's struggle to awaken the original impulse in people's hearts. Everyone felt that Taylor had given him new life and his life was given by others. If there is anything else to say, just follow it. Tyler dared to abandon everything, accepting the beating of the basement owner in front of everyone, showing the essence of fighting to the fullest, and arousing religious worship. The brothers are all convinced, Tyler, you have a life too! There is a strict threshold for the destruction plan, but I think the first space monkey is definitely a nursery. This childcare tells everyone that the plan of destruction is a privilege, and you must have the opportunity to join after a lot of hardships, but as long as you experience all kinds of abuse, you will definitely be able to join. So this is called a sufficient and necessary condition, and this condition gives people will and confidence. Finally, there are rules for the big destruction plan, and no one can destroy it. Even Taylor himself, this sense of sacredness makes people pure and persistent. In the end, Taylor disappeared, and the system was still maintained. That's what faith is about, so I won't summarize it anymore.
This reminds me of an experiment on faith, using monkeys, bananas and cold water pipes. Too long and too complicated, this one is http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_45c4dfcc01000cu2.html .
■It's still a romance in the end?
The ending of the movie is simply too provocative. I have always worried that the final plan of destruction will be ruined by Jack and Mara, the dog and the man, so I won’t feel any pleasure at all. The result did not disappoint me. Jack, a mad criminal, holding a desert eagle in one hand, bare-legged in a windbreaker and a leather shoe, with a huge smoking hole in his cheek, holding Mara’s hand, two People turned to the front, enjoying the explosion in front of the glass window more than I did.
I don't understand why Jack said that everything was because of the woman Mara. But the movie ended with "You met me at a very strange time in my life." Does the director want to say, fools, don’t be fooled by the nonsense in front of me, I don’t know what I’m going to say any more, let’s go back to a more vulgar question with me, or "Get the fuck out of here" .
Whatever, whether it's a romantic philosophical film or a suspenseful film, everything seems to be meaningless anyway...
