I want to wake up as a different person

After watching "Fight Club"
I recall the first time I watched FIGHT CLUB, it has been half a year, but I often feel that the philosophy of fighting is all around us. So today I'm going to post a little emotion.

People often say that this story is absurd, but what is absurd is not the story but our real life. Seduced by material life, jumping into the abyss of material life, and finally being ruthlessly abandoned by material life, this is probably our whole life. We are often tempted to be polluted by boring and vulgar things in body and mind, and become what society needs? Society educates us to have high income, social status, and then become so-called successful people? However, we finally found out that it was only us who were deceived, and everything was shit! As Taylor famously said in the film,

"Your job doesn't represent you,

your bank account number doesn't represent you

, and the car you drive doesn't represent what's in your

wallet. Things don't represent you

Clothes don't represent you

You're just one of the crowd

Damn a

whole generation of gas workers, waiters, or white-collar slaves

Ads tempt us to chase cars and fashion

So we work hard

Buying that useless shit

We are A generation forgotten by history with

no purpose, no status,

no world war, no depression

, our war is a war of hearts,

our life is a depression,

we watch TV and

believe that one day we will be millionaires, movie stars, or Rock star

But

we won't

This is the reality we're gradually facing

So

We're so fucking provoked"

We do get really provoked a lot, but more often than not, we're paralyzed. Because everyone is like that, we have no real goals, no noble pursuits. Don't hate the stories The narrator's life, because we're not as good as him, he's had a magical experience, what have we? He's been through chaos, excitement, and finally found true love, what can we get?

Movies are movies, life Gotta go on. The dream is beautiful because she's not real enough. "If you wake up at a different time in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?" YES! I WANT TO BE SOMEONE ELSE! A different life, but I can't! I don't even have the courage to split.

Well, maybe I'm a coward--

maybe, this is contemporary life--

yes, it's your life too--

Fight Club quotes

  • Narrator: [19:14] You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

  • Narrator: [19:34] This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.
