Tonight,
David Fincher will always retain his fascinating black style, black completely and without leaving Traces, in such a dark night, are also the most suitable for watching his movies, embarking on a spiritual journey that gradually disappears.
If "American Beauty" digs the grave of the soul of the middle-aged American middle-class, then "Fight Club" directly to their next generation. It reveals the embarrassment and contradiction at the social and cultural intersection at the end of the century through subversive themes, and it is the spiritual totem of the new generation at the end of the century.
"One of the rules of fight club, you can't talk about fight club; the second rule of fight club, you can't talk about fight club." Brad. Peter's principle abolishes our right to speak. What he wants to convey is an unspoken and unspoken spiritual will that can only be passed on through self-destruction in the battle of spirit and flesh.
People who have not yet contacted the society may find this very ridiculous. But the reality is the same. Studying, starting a business, getting married, having children, getting old and dying... This is a kind of law, but if you live a servile life under this law, over time, you will be To reach the critical point of the spirit-to give up compromise or fight for it, and exchange one's own strength for a deadly fight? This is the meaning of the film's existence that David Fincher wants to explain.
The first half of the film took nearly half an hour to deduce a state of emptiness and despair. What this mental state has to face is the dilemma of struggle or compromise, so Pitt's Tyler Dayton appears in the film as the other side of Norton's split personality, and as a spiritual leader leads a generation to subvert the tradition A self-defeating fight. The task of this spiritual revolution led by Peter is not only to subvert the traditional way of life, but the first task he faces is to subvert the castration consciousness of this generation of weak male characters (in the film, this castration consciousness has four Symbolic elements: testicular cancer survivor; Bob's big breasts; the lifeless modern way of working without the need for an androgen boost; He chose violence as a means, intending to lead this group of spiritual castrations to regain human nature. In this revolution, Brad Pitt is Christ and God.
As a result, Peter's ideal (Norton's excuse to escape the so-called numb world) is slowly realized, and the whole world is venting and revolutionizing. But in the process of people searching for the original nature of nature, Peter's unscrupulous ghost brain squanders It inevitably went to the extreme, the desire continued to expand, and the fight club eventually evolved into a gangster organization with the purpose of violence. This is both a celebration of violence and a slander of violence, and this revolution is also based on Peter's compromise. In the end, this has come to the end of the film, and the director just told us a positive consciousness-can we still enjoy freedom after the real destruction?
Facts have proved that reason is always more eye-catching than sensibility.
