When years of depression finally turned into schizophrenia

The protagonist of "Fight Club" is a white-collar worker who lives in the "Microsoft Galaxy" and "Starbucks Planet". He has suffered from insomnia long before the beginning of the story and lived like a walking dead. He was firmly imprisoned in a small and crowded office cubicle. He was busy all day long turning the bloody corpse into cold data. He talked about the life that had just passed away in a rigorous, scientific, professional, and numb manner. He became a veritable screw. ——His colleagues who specialize in business, as well as many other people, follow the same life track: when they are alive, they are artifacts, and when they die, they are accounts, for the eyes of others and for their own needs. The things that work all day long, "I'm Jack's spinal cord, I'm Jill's nipple".

Because he didn't know or knew that he wanted to find the meaning of life, he couldn't help but want to follow the commercials because the instructions were so clear that he didn't need to think about it. He doesn’t care about poverty and murder, he only cares about celebrity magazines, 500 channels of big TV, buying, buying, buying, and finally being able to eat canned food by himself surrounded by high-quality furniture-it is really boring: neither The girl has no real friends. After the house is turned into ashes, the only thing that can be missed is his "high-end audio and beautiful wardrobe"; the goods are not produced for his needs, but he is for the consumption of goods. exist.

More people are in a more worrisome situation than him: desperately torturing their bodies, crazily admiring the characters in luxury advertisements (on the bus in the 45th minute), just to stuff a brand-name underwear, and even commit to change A pile of muscles suffering from testicular cancer—just like the conversation between the protagonist and Tyler in the 40th minute: Our generation is a generation raised by women, and has never experienced the Great War or the Great Depression, while saying “I don’t know, I don’t know”, while entering university blankly, getting married and having children, following a logical and well-regulated path to achieve a selfless life form-so Tyler has to apply sodium hydroxide to the protagonist and leave scars after suffering is a rite of passage for all ages. The necessary steps.

The result is that gentlemen, who are still boys by the age of 30, are accustomed to huddling together to keep warm instead of forming a team to fight. Every night I go to help each other and cry non-stop, making my appearance shrinking, but I still enjoy it. I never thought that this way of venting might be wrong in itself, until they found a fight club, they realized the right to fight against pressure. The way is probably not to cry, but to release it out-so fight club blossoms everywhere. The section of "Leave homework" has fully reflected the modern society full of rules and regulations. It has already shaped people into hypocritical gentlemen who can't fight back. However, the heavy anxiety that always follows the shadows may explode at any time: "Let me tell you. , The person who wrote this must be very dangerous. This well-dressed lunatic might have a sudden attack, rushing into office after office, holding a handful of semi-automatic AR-10, and killing all his colleagues one by one, this terrible man. It may be someone who has known you for many years, and may be very, very close to you.” (65 minutes of the film).

This passage actually came from Tyler. The protagonist had the potential to become Tyler long ago, but as a good citizen, he tried very hard to suppress it. But the emergence of Marla caused the eruption of this volcano, which has been silent since the Industrial Revolution, for a simple reason. He fell in love with Marla at first sight (it is estimated that he was controlled by a sister, and he was alone for too long). Since then, he can no longer calmly conduct his sissy cave penguin meditation, the penguin becomes Marla, and the self-deception balance is broken. But he was only brave enough to ask for a phone call from Marla (18th minute), so he fantasized about Tyler right after that. Tyler first solved the root cause of his depression by dividing by two by three and five. Aren't you controlled by matter so that you don't even have free will? Then blow up the house; then he realized his wish with a thunder and steals the ears of the bells-to do Marla...

Tyler Durden, an action beast full of vigorous masculinity, lives in a ruined house without the necessary facilities. When working as a foreman, he swaggered to pee in the soup of the nobles and cut into a pile of nice big cock when playing children's movies. But this is not enough. He wants to make soap from the large amount of fat drawn out by the rich to stuff himself into underwear (the Nazis have also done this), and use the least material way to get through this materialistic world— -It can be seen how important it is to care for the mental health of single young people. The origin of all this is just to get a girl.

Due to the huge number of 30-year-old boys (they are really good at Boys, and Bob can't even say the word "fucking"), Tyler quickly organized an army that was devoted to him. The irony is that these screws from all walks of life are still a batch of screws after being integrated into a new collective and having a new mission. When the protagonist stood beside Bob's half-headed corpse with the indifference of the staff era and shouted heartily, "He is a man! He is my friend! His name is Robert Paulsen!", what is waiting for him is Cold and mechanical shouting in unison: "In the mayhem project, once we die, we have a name, his name is Robert Paulsen, his name is Robert Paulsen..."-How many times has the old order been overthrown , The essence of the new order remains the same as before.

The boy finally realized the value of "people". He was determined to muster the courage and clean up things by himself; this was a very crucial step in his life, because he had free will for the first time, even if it was Tyler through hydrogen. Sodium oxide gave him. After an arduous struggle, the bereaved man finally got rid of the macho, he fired a shot at himself (equivalent to another sodium hydroxide, to welcome a reborn), declaring that he was no longer a slave to the material, nor was he anymore. Is a vassal of others. In the last paragraph, the energetic Marla degenerates into an innocent little girl inexplicably and inexplicably. He takes her by the hand to watch the skyscraper collapse, and the moment the world collapses is enveloped by the brightest spark in the universe. But this is a very unrealistic ending. If the performance in the movie is not enough, the original is full of Jack Su’s flavor: Marla even said, "I can tell the difference between you, and I like you better." Some." Why? do you know him?

"Fight Club" is over, the protagonist and Marla's active and passive positions have changed, but the world still doesn't belong to the abandoned houses and mourners. Therefore, the original author Palachak did not continue this path, but wrote novels with repetitive themes, fixed patterns, low styles, and eye-catching novels year after year (don’t ask me why I read so many, his books are really It’s too suitable for borrowing when squatting, I think it’s enough to read one, these books are almost the same), it has all the characteristics of popular fiction writers in the commercial society: mass production, changing the soup without changing the medicine, everything is money Look, I don't want to make progress anymore and become a qualified screw. As for the real people living in abandoned houses, blindly Jack/Mary Su is definitely not helpful in solving the current situation. When the environment is too suffocating, it may be a good choice to escape outside the territory. At that time, you will face the sea and mountains, eat more fruits and vegetables, and then, um, you must go back to the hotel to brush watercress.
