i understood that scoot pogrom fans were gay
Teenage boys understand Fight Club better than every pretentious homosexual who claims to know what it's "really about".
i have never seen scott pilgrim but i watched fight club 5 times when i was 17
>only 5
well four on my own and once with my girlfriend because i had to impress her with my good taste
Came here to post this. I'm 29 and watched Fight Club at least 5 times but I have NEVER EVER seen that Scott Pilgrim shit mentioned IRL. I just know it became a meme because of some shitty yt video.
>movies have only one meaning and my interpretation of it is the correct one!
frick off pleb
>Book: Target is the Museum of Natural History (an entirely different symbol that underscores just what nihilism is aiming at). Marla saves The Narrator by making him conscious of himself (i.e. traditional archetypal role for a female love interest). The bombs fail to go off (it's an anti-climax). The Narrator tries to kill himself but fails and ends up in the psych ward. In the end, he's lost his mind and he sees what he did as an achievement; Project Mayhem still lives (i.e. the violent impulse is eternal and it's part of a forever war).
>Movie: The target is credit card companies (i.e. instead of the true nature of nihilism we get a mission the audience sympathizes with and cheers on). The Narrator goes on a heroic rescue mission to save the damsel in distress. He sacrifices himself by shooting himself in the head to kill Durden and save Marla. He embraces her, starts making out with her (even though he just shot himself in the mouth, kek), The Pixies blare, and the bombs go off in the background. There are no consequences and all irony is lost.
P.S. Most morons miss the use of irony in the story as well, for example:
>the violence of the Fight Club is ironic: the characters destroy their bodies in an attempt to reclaim them
>they don't catch that the Fight Club develops into a cult (i.e. Project Mayhem) and its adherents merely sublimated their personal emptiness/lack of agency into a destructive nihilism that's the same thing (only reactionary)
Basically, the story is about cultural malaise from a masculine perspective (represented by consumerism and illusory social connections that result in the destruction of the personal identity of the individual and, on a larger scale, a social stratification devoid of meaning or real value) and the turn to nihilism that results from it. The differences between the endings of the book/film change the moral and, as stated before, the movie ends up becoming what it was criticizing.
I would be fricking ashamed of myself if I willingly watched scott pilgrim
I don't understand what someone could misunderstand about Scott Pilgrim.
If you start dating a woman you need to "conquer" all of her past bad experiences with shitty boyfriends by being a good boy and that you need to "get over" her past if it bothers you.
ie. the "don't judge a woman by her past" and "women having emotional baggage is normal and fine" simp mentality.
Hey cool we found the guy who misunderstood it!
What do you think it means peabrain?
It's about Scott overcoming his own insecurities. He wasn't a "good boy" at all. He was a dick, with no self respect, and needed to realize that before he'd be ready for a relationship. With anyone.
i haven't seen scott pilgrim but judging by how it looks i imagine it's
>boy falls in love with exciting not your typical stacy manic pixie who's actually a piece of shit but he's too strung up on her to see it while some better girl somewhere is begging for his attention
No, that's the misinterpretation. The 'better girl' in the story is portrayed to be a stalker, clingy, emotionally immature, and has low self-esteem.
>stalker, clingy, emotionally immature, and has low self-esteem.
Dude he already said she was the better girl, you're agreeing with him
Disagreeing with the Writer doesn't mean you misunderstood the movie. If you finish watching Triump of the Will and don't immediately want to join the SS, does it mean you "missed the point"?
>Everybody misinterprets Fight Club
Every single person who says this never read the book
It was both honestly but at least Scott pilgrim was more honest with itself
I still don't properly understand Scott Pilgrim
Why did he break up with an innocent highschools girl for a used up roastie who has over half a dozen ex-sexual partners?
>yes, this is my cute Asian gf I was telling you about
Him being stupid is the point of the movie actually but when you are 14 you don't understand it yet
Never had any interest in watching either of these.
Bruh, how can you misunderstand Scott Pilgrim?
it's about how fricked up a womans nature is and never to be trusted
I assume whoever made this image thinks fight club is just about le toxic masculinity
I've never seen either
how'd you end up on Cinemaphile?
Fight Club actually looks pretty deep compared to Scott Pilgrim.
Considering I was 14 when Scott Pilgrim came out, that one.
Easy Rider is Baby Boomer, Taxi Driver is Late Baby Boo, Fight Club is Gen X, Donnie Darko is Xennial, Scott Pilgrim is Millennial, The Wolf of Wall Street is Late Millennial and Zoomers I have no clue, a youtube e-celeb?
>mfw I thought the guy from Donnie Darko had an uncanny likeness to Jake Gyllenhaal
>mfw some girl tells me Donnie Darko is her favorite movie and I mention it
>mfw no face
Reddit cringe gays who claim they ''understood'' movies because they watched the movie commentary and agree with the director's politics are subhuman scum.
>umm did you le actually know that Fight Club is actually about le evil capitalism and masculinity is le evil and blah blah
shut the frick up
Most people who like Fight Club like the two main actors and identify with being stuck in a dead end job and want to experience something more exciting like punching people in the face and want a group to belong to. The parts that people like about the movie are the first 70% of the movie. When they start doing terrorism and attack random people, most people tune out and don't care until the reveal that Tyler Durden is fake and then people tune in for the last shot where Pixies plays their one hit wonder song.
No one cares about your gay messages and ''deep'' commentary. The shit in your brains doesn't automatically have value because you put it on paper or in film or in a song. I would take your ideas and wipe my ass with them if they weren't wrapped in a nice movie where Brad Pitt is being cool and you have some cool shots and quotable lines.
No one misunderstands Fight Club, people just like good movies and will ignore the shit that's not good. If every Fight Club fan focused on the ''deep'' commentary and analyzed the cult and cared deeply about the message, there would be no Fight Club fans.
Good post
>No one misunderstands Fight Club, people just like good movies and will ignore the shit that's not good.
Should be on the DVD cover honestly.
Literally 100% of people who liked Fight Club liked Tyler durden when they first watched it
Fight Club, I still don’t get it
Persona 4
There, now the "media literacy" homosexual has ran away crying.
for me it was misunderstanding the matrix, but i get it now that I'm a girl
