>fight club >self improvement
Holy shit, these people are nuts. He's literally spitting out broken teeth and fighting hobos in back alleys, what's self-improvement about that?
Fight club is about self immolation, not self improvement. But of course zoomers don't watch movies, they just watch those awesome tiktok shorts or whatever
>Self-improvement (with regards to some male model in an underwear ad iirc was the context in the movie) is usually a vanity project that has little to do with improving your own health/wellbeing, Durden was right about that. However his own ideology was a lot of wallowing in his own self-pity and inferiority complex and violently lashing out at society. True self improvement would be about finding your true self, following your own passions and forming connections instead of chasing trends and societal ideals.
Or something like that. I solved the movie can we all shut the frick up about Fight Club now?
The part that resonates with people most I think is that the Narrator lives a life of involuntary pain, working a soul-deadening job that he's supposed to be happy with and falling into depressed isolation.
Tyler introduces him to the concept of inflicting voluntary pain on himself as a challenge. Every thing that Tyler is - physically fit, socially extroverted, comfortable with conflict - requires a measure of voluntary pain and/or rejection to achieve. You'll never get jacked without the pain of working out, never pick up and casually frick women if you don't get rejected by some, etc.
In some ways it mirrors the Christ myth of voluntarily suffering, taking the burdens of the world willingly onto your shoulders and staggering up hill to your personal detriment, but toward a greater goal, even if the goal is to organize and lead a worldwide terror network of street fighting space monkeys to bring down the financial credit system.
Fight Club is about the alienation men feel in a society (heh) where men have become outmoded and anachronistic.
The world is now inherently feminine, that's what the book is getting at when it criticizes capitalism and materialism, markets and modes of thought driven by and done on behalf of women (a la the empty apartment meme).
They say it's some examination of how men can't integrate into polite society, but they don't realize what a redpill it is to admit that material society is poison to male mind and what happens are consequences they're being forced to reap.
Self improvement in the film is sort of just a Trojan horse for the real idea that positive social pressure (freedom to focus only on yourself) is another form of control that isolates the male from society but also the larger collective goal of society.
It shifts the blame for pointless free market materialism onto the individual, the way Narrator blames himself for his soulless catalogue lifestyle despite it just being the social status quo advertised by thousands of companies.
I don't know, it's gets real muddy in the film especially with the ending change you lose so much of Chucks subtext. The movie turns it into some row row fight the powah sorta thing and the book isn't really like that.
The book and movie are like 80% identical in that they hit all the same signposts, but the ending in the book is different:
The bombs don't go off, Tyler fricked up the mixture
Narrator shooting himself does not kill Tyler
It's been a few years for me, but the book was a lot heavier and a lot more blunt about the sort of spiritual masturbation that Tyler was, and made him a manifestation of his ego.
As opposed to the movie which frames it in this MTV fight the power sort of struggle against the system, whereas in the book it's framed as a guy who picks the most toxic and contrary qualities that he hates about himself and flips them end over end.
Idk man I'm just some pseud tbh, the movie feels like the game more than the book if that makes sense? Especially with the addition of Fred Durst
Can zoomers think outside of the video essay format? Who the frick comes up with this shit? This is what happens when all of your information input is dictated by daily tiktok garbage. >movie X is actually about *trendy thing* >the hidden message of X about *trendy thing* >10 *trendy things* you actually missed in X
I'm down with project mayhem. I don't care if it makes me an edge lord. The system has failed me and I would love to watch it burn. Congrats to you of the system is working in your favor.
Self improvement is textbook antisemitism.
Frick off with the dog whistles.
i hate being reminded plastic people exist
nice nose rabbi
Plastic surgery is a billion dollar industry designed around convincing men and women that they aren't good enough
Whats more israeli than that
>Whats more israeli than that

Rightoids keep doing that
Media literacy is at an all time low
Your mom's penis.

Nothing. That's the message of his, self improvement is homosexualry.
Very toxic and israeli message.
Fight Club is shit. You're mentally a teen edgelord if you think it's good

>Broooo, fight club said I shouldn’t go to the gym because that’s gay!
Fight Club was a dumb film, watch actual self improvement shit like Rocky.
Fight Club isn't a self improvement movie
Did TikTok-brained Zoomers even watch that pseudo-intellectual film? I never got the hype many years ago and I still don't.
Watching fight club as an adult makes you realize how gay it is, which is unsurprising considering the book author is openly gay.
why cant you just stay on twitter?
>using twitter
there you will find people just like you.

What is the book about. I've never read it.
It's hard to explain the difference.
