Did this movie not make you think.It made me think about my life?It
made me think about what I am doing with it?It made me realize that
actually nobody is special?It made me think about the false hope we
give oneself about the existence of God and him actually caring for
us?,but yet I did disagree with this movie quite frequently.

Its a good film, it made me think of schizophrena, other than that I
thought what a good film.
People get outa things what they want to in many cases.

I think the point I was makeing is that we call all view the same
piece of art and be affected differantly by it. I thought none of
what you thought, presumably because I'm happy with my life and my
lot(resonably) and please, correct me if I'm making massively wrong
asumption about you, but it seems to me that you are somewhat in the
duldrums about life, it's porpuse etc..?

And again another example of just what I'm talking about. How do you
know what the point was? Have you talked to the writer, the director?
Or is this just what you 'got out of it'?
For me the point was, well nothing really, it was a fictional tale of
a man with schizophrenia. Maybe that's what I 'got out of it',
because one of my friends is schizophrenic and through him I have come
to a greater understanding of what that partiular disorder is about?
Like I said we can all see the same piece of art and get differant
things from it.

Yes I know,but if you take a good look at the other character that
Edward Norton had (Brad Pitt( ,he said many a time how life is lived
and how it should be lived.

society.

Well not all of it was the demasculanization of society.It was mainly
based on the realization of society,and how one lives entangled in it.

Yes he did, but of course this was one fictional mans opinion. In
this real mans opinion, the way of living he espoused was also what I
like to call bullshit. Remember at the end of the film, he turns out
to be nowt more than a terroist lunatic.

Lee,did this movie make you think of your life?How you lived it?.Are
you wasting your life allowing material objects rule your life?That is
the crux of what I want to know,we all know that he was insane!

No not at all, I enjoyed a rip roaring yarn, I thought it was a good
film with a great twist, but it certianly did not make me examine my
life. I have other ways to do that, and fictional films just don't do
it.
As to materialism, well I want what I want, I get what I can afford,
but I grew up poor, I'm a little richer now and material objects have
never ruled my life.

In order that you can "disagree" with a movie, the movie has to have
made a statement the you disagree with. There is no statement in this
movie.

What I got out of this movie is that expensive soap is likely the
product of lipo-suctioned arses, so stick with Ivory!
But really, have seen it many times, would put it on my top 10 faves.
No it did not make me think about my life and what I am doing with it,
it did bring me much enjoyment though. It took much more soul
searching and life experience to figure out my "purpose". Actually, I
believe I am still learning and will continue to do so in this life
and the next.
Lee- I agree with you that each person perceives art differently. I
think that is the beauty of being human. We can think and act/react
independently and with what "makes sense" to us.
Mr Thomas- Your point about no one being "special". I do agree that
this is true, but it was not this movie or any other that brought me
to the conclusion. It's called being alive - and in the world, living
life. Do not misinterpret the meaning of "special" though. To me, it
simply means that you are no better that your fellow man, this is not
a contest. Every form of life has meaning and value, one is not more
important than the other.
Slide!

not limit one from owning personal belongings.

No, it is a reference from the movie!
It's the penguin in the ice cave - Tyler's spirit animal.
I have spent countless minutes dissecting the meaning of that scene.
Based on my findings, I felt it was quite appropriate for this
forum :)

Well, the penguin said "Slide", and I think I interpreted that to be
like "Coast". As in, the character in the movie was just "coasting"
through life...until his alter ego stepped in and he stopped coasting
and started "living"...
It's all really irrelevant and silly, and totally off topic here. I
really just like the penguin, I think it's cute.

Fight Club is one of my favourite movies.
What seemed to strike me the most is the way in which the film urges a
second look at society in general, what concessions do we make as
individuals to the accepted norms, the status quo, and having made
those, what of the people that wont accept or dont fit into the roles
society regards as acceptable. The ability of one discordant soul to
make an impact or even to provoke the downfall of empires is also a
theme.
Now this may be a depressing movie for some, but for me it was
so much more.
Cheers
