The theme, ideas and many other things of this film should be understood by many people after watching it, but when I watched it for the second time, I had a new view on the split personality of the protagonist: that is, not only is Pete an illusion, Mara is also Yes, and Marla is a metaphor for "big nice cock". In fact, many plots have hints:
1. Mara first appeared at an encouragement meeting for patients with testicular cancer. How could women appear on this occasion?
2. When Marla was about to commit suicide, Pete went to her, and there was a sex toy penis on the cabinet next to the door.
3. The 1/24 second easter egg when the building collapses in the last scene of the movie.
In fact, I think the protagonist in the film should have other diseases after insomnia, maybe impotence or testicular cancer. (When the protagonist went to the police station to report the case, his subordinates threatened to cut his eggs may be a hint, and the same threat to law enforcement officers also appeared before.) The protagonist who lost his sexual ability in reality began to develop a personality and spiritual division. (In fact, both the underground fighting and the subsequent big sabotage plan are easy products of male impulses, which also shows the inner desire and depression of the protagonist.)
In the film, when Pete and the protagonist were in the car, Pete once said "Self. -improvement is masturbation. And self-destruction." In fact, the constant metamorphosis or growth of the protagonist's mind is accompanied by masturbation (Tyler and Mara are actually masturbating when the protagonist has sex). At the end of the film, the protagonist is flying and watching the world return to its original point, ending in masturbation and destruction. All I can say is so cool!
