Your innermost question asks you, why do we live like this?

After watching the FIGHT CLUB, I have a lot of thoughts, I don’t know where to start.


David Fincher’s movies always seem to be one-to-one, and many things have been laid before. For example, in that dilapidated house, Marla never and Taylor Appearing at the same time, it seems to indicate that Tylor is actually an illusion of Jack, the inner him.



Jack is like a portrayal of each of us. There is another person inside each person, who is dissatisfied with reality and is full of The desire to change the status quo. The movie magnifies the person in Jack into Tylor, and shows the despair in real life, people's dissatisfaction with the status quo, desire for change, and desire for rebirth, all naked under the lens.


We are all tired of it. After such a life, mechanically repeating things that I don’t want to do. Sometimes I think about why we are studying and why are we working. What are we doing. After being born to walk such a big circle, what is the meaning in the end? Adults teach us from childhood to study hard, grow up to find a good job, men find a good wife to have children; women marry a good man to have children. After a few decades, we retired at home to care for the elderly and finally fell ill and died. Or, we haven’t waited until we are sick. I have already died for other things. Just go around like this, what do you mean by living.


Perhaps this problem has become the same as the endless loop problem of the chicken or the egg. The problem itself is no longer possible. There is an answer. If we don’t live like this, what else can we do?

Don’t remember, when we were young, we always had dark eyes on those who are very loose at home, able to do what we want to do. The inner you is also Want to be such a person, you can chase your dreams, and have enough space to get rid of the world to do what you want to do. When we

grow up, we seem to understand that this is called helplessness, who makes you a human being is just ordinary. Organisms, the path you are walking on is just a worldly agreed road, and everyone is walking. There is nothing to complain about. But there are still unwilling elements in your heart. You often complain, whether it is verbal or psychological complaints. , Are all dissatisfaction with life, extreme dissatisfaction.

In fact, you want to stand up and shout FUCK U SHIT THINGS to such a wasteful life! And tell the world that you are the boss of your own life. Just like the Tylor in the movie. The reason why Tylor can assimilate so much People's thinking makes them serve him unconditionally like an army caught in evil, and it also reflects that there are too many people in the world who are dissatisfied with life, want to change their lives, and want to live in their imagination. of the world.

but we are not Tylor, we just Jack. Finally, the film also tells us, Tylor will eventually disappear, our conscience or will personally kill off another heart that the riots themselves.



liked that movie last Part. When Jack discovers that Tylor is actually himself, when he wants to stop all of this, when he finds that he is assimilated by him wherever he goes, when he fights with Tylor face to face...especially At that time, in the building, Jack dismantled the time bomb and Tylor beat Jack angrily. At that time, the screen of the movie was switched between the scene of the fight between the two and the monitor screen of the building. There was only Jack on the monitor, and there was only one person on the monitor. Falling down the stairs, a person was bloody. This scene seems to have made Jack's psychological struggle the greatest sublimation, allowing us to truly feel the intensity and pain of his inner struggle. In the end, Jack seemed to finally realize that Tylor was treating him. There is no threat. To eliminate him is to eliminate his sick psychology.




This 1998 movie, 11 years later, watched today, and it still caused a tremor of the soul. Everyone has such a Tylor in his heart. What we can do , Perhaps what should be done is to balance this Tylor in our hearts with real life. After all, we cannot break away from the worldly track. After all, our power has not yet been large enough to change the world. But we may be able to repeat from the most mechanical and the most reluctant At the beginning, make yourself truly strong, and then try to change your life so that your life is as good as possible within the allowable range.
