Fight Club

[IndependentlyFreeParticipant 108]

What are your guys’ thoughts on this movie? It became my favorite film ever, when I first saw it in 9th grade. 14 years later it still is. I knew something was wrong with society ever since I was young.

Don't be a slave. Be yourself.

Always been one of my favorite films. Interestingly enough, I just ran across this seven part series about the movie and was pretty engrossed. Had not looked at it this way before.

Thanks for sharing this. Watched the first video. Man, Paul Elams voice puts me to sleep.

Resident cynic.

Did the story line vary at all? Every time I read the book first, the movie is such a disappointment. Wolf of Wall Street, while a great flick, was so disappointing after reading the book.

Great film, definitely a top 200 for me but I can’t say it’s my number one. It has issues as far as film and story telling go. Everyone’s a critic lol.

I think it’s as important as Catcher in the Rye though, as far as a boy’s rite of passage into manhood, a must see.

My favorite film currently is Bladerunner 2049. Now that is a film that aces it on every level: story, plot, cast, tone, music, symbols, and most important male identity. I doubt that another film can get me that riled up for a long time.

One of my favorites and one of my first red pills.

I like the movie, but it’s hard for me to think of a proper ending to it. They way the movie ended was bizarre.

[SPOILER ALERT]

The scene where Tyler Durden tells his club to start a fight with a random stranger, and then lose, p~~~es me off. Personally, I don’t start fights, but if I find myself in a fight, all my energy is used to win!

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

I loved the first hour or so of the movie. It really spoke to me the first time I watched it. Perceptive, it really picked up on a cultural malaise bubbling under the surface for many men. The hunger that is out there for men to reconnect with male traits and our masculine roots.

The reason it doesn’t make my top 5 or 10…..the ending really went a different direction and didn’t fit the rest of the movie.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

He was ahead of his time in recognizing the fallout from feminism. His version of an angry, violent, ill-effected men’s club is completely justifiable in hindsight. Obviously, MGTOW is similar for the same reasons.

Has anyone read about the conspicuous tie-in with the Calvin and Hobbes comics?
I was reading about this almost 10 years ago.

Here’s the link.

And that’s it right there.

A decade ago, I was broken. A shell of a man. Laying on my bedroom floor, hungover, emotionally shattered, betrayed and without hope.

Barely able to get through each day. Despair and darkness reigned like a cloud over my once fulfilling life.

The only woman I had ever loved was out banging other guys. And doing it with no remorse or compassion.

It was as if the time we spent together was a void. Erased from history as I was devalued and discarded.

But one day that all changed. And due to the fact that I had lost everything.

Only after losing everything including who I thought I was as man could the evolution begin.

Rising up from the ashes, I drove over two hours to an airport where like a phoenix ascending from the ashes, my rebirth would take place.

When I walked into the drop done, a guy greeted me and asked if I was there to do a tandem.

I replied ‘No. I’m here to learn how to f~~~ing skydive.’

That summer. Against all odds and in the face of adversity, through sheer determination & power of will, I evolved.

And am now no longer a mortal man. But became a symbol. The Sky-0. As a man of flesh and blood, I could be defeated and was corruptible. But as a symbol, I am eternal and everlasting.

A symbol of hope and rebirth. Sent back through time to avenge mankind.

Just as Gotham once needed Batman. The world needs an entity to shake it out of apathy. A survivor and a symbol that can show that it’s not about how hard you can hit. It’s about how many hard hits you can take, and still keep getting back up. Bloodied but unbroken & unbound.
