Because the girls would want to make out with Brad Pitt instead of kicking his balls or punching his face.

[zorra_chiflada]

no

i like it a lot, and was obsessive about it when it came out (infact i can remember the fight club special edition dvd being one of the first dvd sets that really pushed the envelope) but i'm wondering if people will start to look back at it and think "meh, that film is soooooo gen-z man". how people think about performance for the late 60s generation.

[Junker]

I think Fight Club will always be a contemporary movie.

[Big Gus]

I watched it twice when I first got it - once stoned and once drunk, and I never "got it" at all. I had to look on the internet....

It's an amazing film. One of the few DVD's I'll watch again and again and it never gets boring.

Women have been forced to live in a man's world run by men who have been forced to live in a man's world. So the movie is more talking about the displacement of the great displacers. That would be a unique thing, at least in the eyes of the auteur.

[Big Gus]

Didnt Bob have big tits? I mean thats close, surely...

[zorra_chiflada]

so they're being "men" and fighting in the name of irony? man, i dunno.

No, they're working out what being men means when you stop listening to what they tell you being men means.

[zorra_chiflada]

so a catch 22 situation?

[Kid Presentable]

so a catch 22 situation?
Yeah. Men want to fight, but have effectively been deprogrammed by advertising and media that exists outside violence and reality. When Tyler and Norton's character get on the bus and say "Is that what a man looks like?", that's pointing to the fact that they're about discovering your own place in things, on your own.

A catch 22 would be them needing to fight, but being pussies. This was more about the carnality of reclaiming themselves. A feminist-type masculinism.

As best I can tell.

[zorra_chiflada]

i never really looked at it that way actually. good points.

[na§tee]

personally i think they could make it just that bit more masculine by starting each session of fighting with a full english breakfast.

[Kid Presentable]

When I was 19 I had a Marla Singer girlfriend, and we rooted heaps, but I never got in any fights. lol

[Big Gus]

I dont see it as all that "masculine" a film, the fighting is quite visceral but it's only a tiny part of the film really.

I think it's an interesting observation on the male psyche in the "Modern world".

[Kid Presentable]

male psyche.
It's a shame that this phrase doesn't conjure up images of masculinity.

[DeeJayZap]

It's mad how they never reveal Norton's character's name in the movie. In the credits it's still just "Narrator".

edit: I just realized, the person who plays Marla is in the new Harry Potter film :eek:

I always call him Tyler too. They're the same person after all. And Marla calls him Tyler too. So, Tyler Durden is Norton's alter ego but they share the same name :confused: :confused: :confused: Oh...forget it

Helena Bonham Carter is usually in pretty "classy" films. I think Fight Club is her "trashiest" work but she "gets rude" in a few other films I've seen too.

[bigblu89]

This is by far my all time favorite movie, but the book is so much better.

i met ed norton and he signed my friend's copy of fight club. we had a lovely little conversation while he filmed a movie across the street from my exbf's house.

Sounds like to missed the point entirely...

I would've had a hard time not grabbing his penis if I had been involved in this scenario.
