funny you should say that cause I was 12 when I saw it in theaters lol
same. fellow 86er
when i left i said it was the best movie i've ever seen

zoomzoom alert. It made people shit and piss their pants in mortification when it was released in 1999, you can find negative reviews on RT from critics back in the day opining about how they viewed the movie as scandalously immoral & anti-christian lol
Yeah Rosie O'Donnell spoiled the ending on her show and urged people to not see it
It cause apocalyptic seething among fat women and old geezer moralizers, not surprising considering the movie reminds fighting age young men that all of society only exists with their consent and if they get together they can reshape it however they want

its far too easy for zoomer diaper babies raised on jordan peterson lectures & groyper memes to not realize that the whole red pill/new atheist revolution of the 2010s happened for a reason: because all of the pearl-clutching moral crusaders & social gatekeepers of the 90s & 00s were insufferable holier-than-thou hypocritical buttholes who adamantly, zealously denied ideas like
now regarded as common knowledge
I'm 30 years old and I am completely out of touch of what you're even taking about.
Lmao so you're the one of the chuds that constantly misinterprets it.
>the movie reminds fighting age young men that all of society only exists with their consent and if they get together they can reshape it however they want
No you dumbass, the movie/book is about how masculinity is a charade and ego will be the death of you. Capitalism/materialism are extensions of that theme.
It’s funny how only ESLs are left saying “chud,” as the white people who originally forced it have all killed themselves by now and are buried under their given names.
>Everyone knows the movie is about my personal gayBlack person interpretation of it
>if they get together
The thing about fighting age young men is that they are uniformly directionless and their dog brains need strong, central leadership to place them in a pyramidal dominance ladder. They've been stacked in these systems in captivity for so long that even some educated people think it's a normal way for humans to live.
yeah i'm the guy born 1986 and yeah critics overreacted to everything. real people, not critics usually figure shit out about what's vapid and what's not. thanks for calling me a zoomer (i'm sure you've done that a lot today, keep it up for your cool sticker) but no.
>real people, not critics usually figure shit out
lmao
>real people, not critics usually figure shit out about what's vapid and what's not
Fight Club was a considerable commercial disappointment until it was released on dvd & nerds started reevaluating it years later after its original release. "real people" are normie npc morons bro
>I won't embrace my Nietzchian ubermench... because I just WON'T, OKAY?
Oh my sweet neet friend, how sheltered are you that you don't think people revolve their entire lives based on the material things they own.
>He thinks it was supposed to be "deep"
Yeah midwit filter
I envy your position in life, where you don't have to put up with people who haven't figured any of this out and never will.
>chuck palahniuk is an annoying homosexual
Yeah those comic sequels he wrote suck, felt like he was trying and failing to imitate Grant Morrison's meta style.
>most people including normies know this
Funny thing is that they don't, otherwise they wouldn't be slaving away for money only to spend it only overly expensive cars, clothes, homes, and other superficial shit.
This movie's the ultimate midwit filter
>B-but the message is that Tyler Durden is le bad guy
Spot the redditor
>Is that what a Sneed is supposed to look like?
You wouldn't take him seriously if he's without a chin.
One of these men has sucked circumcised wiener
Bruh tons of people still listen to Andrew Tate
Then who am I?
he was right about everything
You are not your body, you are the soul.
Now that is a Prime cope for ugly people and fatties
I'm not a body-soul dualist, so it's not. Plus handsome gigachad people have been saying this for thouthands of years, look at plato, look at buddha, he was like 6'7 tall akong manlet pajeets. people who are overly focused on the body are actual uglies and lookism incels.
>YOU ARE NOT THE SENATE
>YOU ARE NOT THE DANGER
>YOU ARE NOT FRICKING CIA
>you are not your body
>you are not your thoughts
>You're not your frickin' ego
It frustrates me that people think this movie is about rediscovering masculinity or some stale statement about capitalism and consumerism.
Every actual interview of chuck and the story of how it came to be shows that the story is about how being beaten up (not beating someone up) literally calms you down and recontexualises the problems in your life but if you were to actually rely on it as a coping mechanism, it would be incredibly destructive to your life and not in a good way
Death of the Author
There's also the small matter of the movie, better than the book in every way, is about a closet homosexual finding his way out of the complex reasons he seems to need to hang out with and wrestle men, and towards being with a woman.
Chuck is a limp wristed homosexual, frick him and frick you.
yes, that is one part of the narrative. the rest of the narrative is how, after your problems are put into their proper context, what do you do next? do you just go back to giving a shit or do you do something else? If you can't take back your agency from a society thats cut everyone to the bone to keep them docile, jumping from one shitty purchase to the next, do you just accept it?
It's actually just about gay sex. Really. He was gay and gayness was still underground then and they'd meet in secret and 'never talk about it' and it was maybe your waiter and your taxi driver and they could recognize each other but society as a whole couldn't and blah blah.
