A life without father and God

Angel 2021-10-13 13:05:31

I have always liked the movie Fight Club, but I must admit that for a long time I was obsessed with the powerful pitt in the movie. Also, it should be the movie itself’s clever use of my super ignorance in the field of psychology, even because After the first time I saw it, the kind of plausibility, uncertainty and disbelief.

But at least I know that this is a psychological film, because Jack’s long insomnia caused serious double personality episodes, and Tyler in Jack’s image created Fight Club and Project Mayhem as Jack’s other side. He led everyone to get rid of material things. Enslave, emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, and be a free man.
That's right, these are all shown in the movie, just these are enough for us to savor it, but it should be more than just these.

A psychological film often uses many tricks to deceive our vision, making us think that all kinds of crimes are nothing more than material and material conflicts, shallow exploitation and possession, simple loss or gain. In fact, it is not. The most important thing in a movie is often not always mentioned in front of you, but constantly hinted and reminded in your heart. Most of the psychological problems are related to the shadow of childhood. Fight Club is no exception. Jack’s insomnia is just a trigger. The trigger for his dual personality. When the switch is turned on, all the trajectories are left to the most missing part of his heart. Things dominate, or in other words, dominated by his self-reconstruction and fiction of the most lacking spiritual and emotional factors in his heart.

In Jack and Tyler’s self-conversation, he mentioned his father many times. The conversation in their bathroom talked about asking his father’s opinion every time at a turning point in life. Perhaps everything that Tyler said about his father does not exist. Yes, because Tyler itself is Jack's fiction, therefore, Tyler's description of his father is also Jack's imagination of his father. Tyler once said that among ordinary people, the person he most wants to fight is his father. This may be Jack's most extreme imagination of his father.

The movie tells us that Jack's father left him when he was six years old. He grew up in an environment lacking paternal love and lacked the care, guidance and encouragement of a strong man. He may also understand that his father doesn't like him and accepts him. In the movie, when Jack puts a mark on his hand with caustic soda, it may be the most painful moment in his heart and body at the same time.

Tyler: Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers failed, what does that tell you about God?
Tyler: Listen to me. You have to consider the possibility that God doesn't like you, he never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.

So Jack created Tyler, a father, a God-like man.
I was very impressed, and one of the scenes I liked very much was Tyler's declaration-style speech before a Fight Club party. Not long after that, the Fight Club gradually upgraded to an "Army". Fight Club is just a sweet bait and a test program. Those men who are truly lacking in their hearts like Jack will devote themselves to death, because to some extent, the lack of inner emotions and needs are better than all low-level substances. Needs and even the instinct to survive.

Tyler said, "I have seen the strongest and smartest people here, but your potential is wasted. You are doing the most trivial jobs at the bottom of society, as waiters, fuelers, car washers, or go to work in a tie. , Advertising tempts us to buy cars and clothes, so we work hard to buy things we don’t need. We are a generation forgotten by history, without purpose and status. There is no war in our era, no economic panic, our war is spiritual War, our panic is our own life. We have watched TV since we were young, and believe that one day when we grow up, 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." This large Godfather-style speech that blends the tone of father and God makes me frightened and frightened. I try to treat it as a movie instead of thinking about my own life, but the similar panic is not us. Not at all?

However, when Jack is awake, the split self-salvation will eventually be shattered, and his "father" will also leave him again. Tyler disappeared towards the end of the movie. I always feel that Tyler appears less and less in the film. It is a manifestation of Jack’s normal psychological advantage. Every time Jack wakes up from his dream, he seems to be a normal Jack. What can make him sleep and find wakefulness is only what he did as Tyler on his other side. All kinds of extreme behaviors have gradually made Jack realize, but he still firmly believes in the existence of Tyler, and even fatally believes that Tyler will leave him, "First my father leaves me, now Tyler. I'm all alone. I am Jack's Broken Heart."

Having said that, I haven’t mentioned the very important sloppy woman Marla in the movie. In short, in Jack’s fictional world, that is, in the world where Tyler exists, Marla is a mother-like character, she doesn’t Will have sex with his mother-even in the image, and Tyler as the father in the image is okay, which is why the three people in the film never appear at the same time, and Jack and Marla are in the kitchen every time The conversations are so incredible, Jack didn’t know it, and even murmured, "I'm six years old again, passing messages between my parents." And, in Tyler, he asked if he had sex with Marla. At the time, he strongly expressed that it was impossible, and even made a very disgusting expression.
Tyler: You know what I mean, you fucked her.
Jack: No, I didn't.
Tyler: Never?
Jack: No.
Tyler: You're not into her, are you?
Jack: No, God, not at all .
Voiceover: the I AM Jack's Raging Bile, Duct.
Tyler: by You're the Sure by You CAN Tell Me?.
Jack: Believe Me, the I'm the Sure.
Voiceover: of Put A Gun to Paint My head and with My Brains at The Walls.

However, in Jack's sober heart, he likes Marla. At the end of the movie, he tried to save everything and protect Marla's safety, although Marla may not understand what Jack is going on in the end.
The initial appearance of Marla destroyed the sleep that Jack had just recovered, but it was called a comfort and support for Jack when he was in a serious mental crisis. Recalling when he left a mark on his hand, he said that after passing Tyler. The fact that Duan didn't want to admit was looming in his heart, so he faced fear and saw everything clearly; at the same time, he dispelled the pain through fantasy Marla.
The whole movie is so contradictory, but I really don’t know. At the end of the movie, after Jack shot his cheek with a roaring bullet, Tyler also disappeared, and Jack would really get rid of that mentality. The shadow of being no longer tortured by that kind of psychological lack, and no longer a slave to the material, I don’t know, I really don’t know. This feeling is as uncertain as I think about my future. Maybe a movie is a movie. He stirs our heartstrings, makes us think and makes trouble, but he is not responsible for cleaning up the mess.
