: . . . I can be as off topic as I want, right? : : *possible spoilers* : Make that definate spoilers : : OK : : : : : On the past bored somebody posted about Fight Club and it's brilliance.....exclaiming that he identified with it's themes of worthlessness and such. : This is where I have a problem with the film. I don't identify with the feelings of worthlessness or emotional death that the characters in the film had. I actually felt they had rather a childish reaction to it. I've never been someone obssessed with getting just the right living room set, and I don't understand people (male or female) who are. So I had to look at what was going on here as a) a satire and/or b) an anthropologist. I found it interesting and entertaining on both levels, though in the end, I'm not sure I /liked/ it. I think it was good, I think it was well done, but I'm not sure whether I liked it or not. Throughout, it all seemed very homoerotic to me, which I found interesting. Especially because the friend I went with didn't pick this up. : : Also proclaiming it wanted to make him fight the first person he saw. : I can't understand that. : : You silly silly little man. : Yes. : : Fincher has dumped a big testosterone driven brain dead piece of shit on yer lap.....and your treating it like he let you fuck his sister. : No, what you describe is Rambo. This film provokes thought, and encourages you to question your manhood. It may just be my biases, but ultimately, I don't think he was congradulating these guys on the crap they got into. It's sort of like American Psycho, the entire book is an attack on the materialism of its protagonist, not an adulation in it. In this case, it attacks both materialism and primitivism. : : The movie , and it's romatic notions of violence......and the awakening of our primitive self was as Fincher said suppoused to be a comedy. : A satire is, I think, more accurate. : : Well....That is the only thing "funny" about that misogynistic, childish and draining effort that I saw. : I think that may be because you took what he meant to be an attack and took it to be his point of view. : : (aside from the fact that it is now ok for a director to totally ignore whole sections of the films continuity and tone to add a gimmick that is getting a little stale). : Explain? : : I have no problems with you "boys" being so entranced by this drivel forming yer own fucking clubs and kicking the shit out of eachother...in fact I encourage it. Just don't be taking on innocent people you are exiting the theater...they have real lives to lead. Ones that might be equally "anguished"...but who have the good sense and humanity to realize that..it's only a movie...a bad one at that. : I think if anyone were to take this to real life, they'd /need/ to be inducted into the testical-removing club to protect the gene pool. : P.S.: I could give two shits about Ikea. See what a man I am?
