It didn't try to do anything. In the nineties movies were just movies, you little shit.
90s movies had messages, it's just that you could disagree with those messages without being called a nazi.
shhhh dont talk about it,moron
Yes, the movie is about the consequences of alienated people embracing a violent movement that strips them of individuality, but people still think it's cool anyway.
Nah it's about being gay
>embracing a violent movement that strips them of individuality
ok... how is that different than any other military organization in history?
100% correct. It becomes what it's criticizing by the end of the movie.
It's about being gay the script writer said it himself
>glamorised mental illness
>glamorised violence and drug use
>promoted terrorism
>anti-capital
>anti-consumerist
>anti-women
>anti-modernity
this whole movie is like a Ted K wet dream
It's a quintessential left wing movie. Anti consumerist, anti establishment and anti capitalist
None of those things are really left wing or right wing, though I understand how many people could mistakenly think pro-capitalism is a necessary part of being right wing.
The consequences of flattening the extremely high-dimensional political space into one measly dimension
> left wing
Left wing women hate this movie
>He actually cares about women's opinions
NGMI.
>It's a quintessential left wing movie. Anti consumerist, anti establishment and anti capitalist
No one of those things are left wing. Ask me how I know you are american.
I like how every time the movie gets mentioned someone comes out of the woodwork to say shit like
>"most people didn't understand it was pointing out the obscurity of toxic masculinity" or whatever shit.
Yeah. I know. And I still love watching it from a toxic viewpoint lol.
It's about lack of connection with other people, and the ensuing era of social media made the problem much worse.
Actually it's a love story and the need of a frmale partner in a man's life.
I don't think it was trying to do any one thing. It was probably always intended as being ambiguous.
Same with "anti-war" movies. They always end up glamorizing war.
Philistine opinion.
Most people got the message. There will always be some morons who only see what they want to see and only hear what they want to hear.
>Most people got the message.
Art does not have a "message"; that's called propaganda. Once an author releases a work of art, it is no longer in his hands, just as once the Narrator started Fight Club, it was no longer in his hands. Maybe you are the one who didn't "get the message"
>ackshually destroying yourself is harmful
No shit, moron. Who are these alleged people who don't understand that? Are they going out and scarring themselves with lye or forming fight clubs because they think Tyler is a cool character? No. So what are you even complaining about?
Most people don't even realize Project Mayhem was a cult. Also, this movie's biggest fans are the types of morons that will slide when you point out how filtered they were (i.e. insecure homosexuals).
NTA but it sounds to me like you're the one who was filtered. "Message" doesn't have to entail anything political and subjective experience doesn't subtract from the way a story deals with a theme. Your "death of the author" bullshit is half-baked nonsense.
yea the author talks about this in the book's epilogue
Nah, people buy just as much soap now as before the movie came out.
The whole movie is a metaphor for wanting to take a good shit in peace
