——Taylor
We have to think about what kind of generation we are. Although "Fight Club" does not describe the living conditions of Chinese youth, what Taylor said touched me deeply. No matter what country you are from, no matter what era you are in, young people always desire something powerful, some channels through which you can vent excessive passion. "Fight Club" somewhat provides such a spiritual experience.
In an era of mediocrity, there is no turbulence and change to prove one's outstanding talents, lack of spiritual leadership and belief, and loss of the source of soul conversion. We are all numbly playing our social roles, and in fact most people have no way of knowing what the goal they are fighting for, let alone setting their own goals in life. We live in a consumerist society. Everyone is a puppet in a certain sense, but no one is the master. It is precisely this way that we can continue to go to school, work, and fall in love amidst the lies of "egalitarianism". Marriage, childbirth, birth, old age, sickness and death, everything is done step by step, everything is inexplicable. Life is like an online game. We have taken one task after another. Someone has become a boss, but he is still just an empty shell. When he no longer spawns monsters or participates in union activities, he is no longer a People who have a life. Since we are doing the same thing and have the same mind without our own, then we are just the same tool, and we don't know which hand is pulling us.
There are constant criticisms that men in this world are not like men, men no longer have their own spiritual totems, and no longer have the noble value of persisting in sacrifice for them. And when a well-dressed and comfortable man realizes this subconsciously, when he feels that he lacks in his life, he is about to become a member of the fight club. And this is not enough, you have to have the courage to abandon your original cumbersome identity and join it as a simple fighter. The first rule of fight club is ... You do not talk about fight club; The second rule of fight club is ... You do NOT TALK ABOUT fight club. Do not ask questions, you must first integrate into this pure form of violence In, if you are in the fight club for the first time at this time, then you must fight. It's that simple. Simple things make people's blood and heart beat faster, simple things make people free.
Whether it is for participants or bystanders, a fight club is more like a hospital, and violence is medicine, and fight is psychotherapy. When one person had his tooth knocked out by another, he laughed with pain, and he was relieved with bandages and band-aids all over his body. The men hugged each other tightly after attacking each other. They became friends, compatriots, and brothers. More precisely, violence is a stimulant, and it has the same effect as drug use. They all use illusion and simulation experience to make people escape from reality, and this evasion is completely different from drug abuse. Drug abuse is only a spiritual imagination, but violence is a solid blow to the face. With this punch, you The sound of the short bridge of the nose is covered by your own wailing, and your wailing is overwhelmed by the cheers of people. They are not only cheering for the winners, but also not even cheering for the losers. This wave is high. After a wave of cheers are only dedicated to this punch, it makes us feel the purity of violence, and once something has purity, it has a little sacred meaning.
There is only one requirement for the sacred, to dedicate yourself to it. If the only factor of this sacred thing is violence, then this is the so-called revolution, this is the so-called carnival. And sacred things give us a reward, so that we will no longer be confused and painful. Fighting is an experience close to death, but a certain power can pull people back from the death experience of fighting. It is not the rules of fighting nor the tolerance of opponents, but something of our own spirit. People who have experienced death have The right to despise death has the power to resist death. This is the dialectic of death.
A group of men get together to fight, but it is a real spiritual behavior, which tells us what the real spiritual life is: the real spiritual life is not listening to concerts, reading poetry, or writing and contemplating. Experience and comprehend something, that is 100% spiritual life. Forest, run! How hypocritical, a truly strong person does not need this kind of weak encouragement. He fights against people again and again, and cheers for his failure after being knocked down. He may never win, but one day, when he Exhausted to death, people stepped on his corpse when they walked, stomped it deeply into the soil, and he became part of the road.
The saddest thing is that such a strong person has no successor. He couldn't find such a person. Before he stepped into the grave, he could happily say to that person: "Child, this used to be my sword. For my arm, it is already too heavy." One person fought to death. , Is a kind of his own glory, but also the sorrow of others. In Fight Club, we can see that the revolution is difficult to carry on. Taylor is not God after all, or Jack is not. They are also difficult to liberate themselves completely. The liberation of Fight Club is another kind of oppression to some extent. Apart from the increased violence and destruction, what else can we have out of is the biggest mystery that the movie leaves us. If there is a movie that is a bit exciting and a bit confusing to watch, it must be a really thoughtful movie, because it demonstrates the tension between instinct and rules. This is also the inherent tension of human nature. It is not a philosopher’s. Metaphysical contemplation is a fundamental dilemma that is closely related to everyone. Fighting darkness with darkness cannot allow us to see the dawn, and violence against spiritual violence cannot bring us the final peace. History is a cyclical game. We can't see the end of the game, and the end has already appeared; since there is already a result, why do we have to struggle, because we don't know when it is the end.
Only when we lose everything can we do everything freely. What a beautiful future, if you abandon everything and you can be free, then mankind would be free long ago. But the problem is that we cannot give up everything, we cannot give up the present resentment, we cannot give up our sense of resistance, let alone the means used to give up everything: violence. We must do something. Those who are disobedient cannot be those who give up everything, and therefore cannot be free people. This is another paradox of freedom: people are keen on material to be alienated by material, and when we give up material life, we will be overwhelmed by our own spirit, because it is difficult for people to have no desires and desires. When Caesar removed all kinds of resistance and ascended to the throne of the emperor, he just said: It turns out that everything is so empty and boring. When we feel empty and bored, it indicates that we are about to be sucked up by the spirit of hunger and thirst.
Heraclitus said: "The soul is sniffing in hell." I don't know the meaning of such a profound sentence, but from it I can feel the terrible human soul. Our soul will one day dominate us, but we may not Ascending to heaven, we will be dragged into hell by noble things, and a rare smile will appear on our death faces.
