Many people just regard this film as a schizophrenic anarchist film, but in fact he has a deep social moral. The two screenshots from the movie say it all.

The film emphasizes a state of life that is not bound by material things. At the beginning, the male protagonist was also obsessed with exquisite furniture, which led to his spiritual emptiness. It gradually opened up later.

To a certain extent, society has become deformed, and every sentence cannot be separated from buying a car, buying a house, marrying a wife and having children. Buying a car, buying a house, marrying a wife and having children is a success, and vice versa. But in fact, if you rent a house on a battery without marrying a wife or having children, you will have no worries and no social pressure, and you can live a better and more comfortable life. Nowadays, many young people are raising their children because of mortgage and car loans. They are oppressed, beaten and scolded by leaders like ? They dare not pay back, and they have accumulated a lot of resentment, so they can't see others well.

The original purpose of buying a car, buying a house, marrying a wife and having children is to make ourselves happy. Why is it now a drag? Because everyone compares with each other in material. Is it correct to have to buy a car, buy a house, marry a wife and have children? Who prescribes it? Mainly because I am afraid that I am different from others, others have what I do not have, and I am afraid of being told by others.

We care too much about material things, too much about what other people say. I saw an up master named Lelangxing on station B, and I thought he lived a free and easy life. Of course, the group of anarchists in the movie are negative teaching materials, not worth learning from, and can't go to extremes like them. Taylor himself is also a negative teaching material, otherwise the director would not let him disappear in the end.

In the end, Tyler disappeared and the protagonist was still killed, which shows that anarchists must seek their own death, and also implies that if society continues to develop in this way, whether it is a person who is willing to be bound by material, an anarchist, or even a piece of shit , there will be no happy ending, and they can all be alone, but they will perish together.

    It inspired me to embark on the path of film. It is the best film of the 1990s and a new film that predicts the social landscape of the 21st century. It is so advanced that characters like Roger Ebert All looked away. It is not about the process of a person's schizophrenia, but a fable that tells a generation that will gradually move towards a new life. It is not a poor substitute for "anarchism", but a counterattack against the objectification of everyone in the consumer society. With a heavy blow, it resists, it roars, and it provokes. It is the "Bible" and "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum" of the "post-millennial generation".

    House, car, TV, mobile phone, computer, designer clothes, high-end bags. No great job is you. Your life has been changed to buying a refrigerator, watching TV with popcorn, and talking about unnutritious topics. None of this is what you want. It's what life wants for you. Each of us has another betrayal, impulsive, rational. The emotional personality is only slowly killed until it dissipates.

Fight Club quotes

  • Narrator: Home was a condo on the fifteenth floor of a filing cabinet for widows and young professionals. The walls were solid concrete. A foot of concrete is important when your next-door neighbor lets their hearing aid go and have to watch game-shows at full volume. Or when a volcanic blast of debris that used to be your furniture and personal effects blows out of your floor-to-ceiling windows and sails flaming into the night. I suppose these things happen.

  • Narrator: You can swallow a pint of blood before you get sick.
