I love Fight Club and TSN. They are two of my very favorite films. Seven is his best tho. It saved his filmmaking career after Alien3 tanked. It pretty much set the standard for his films.

You mean he is not actually Tyler Durden in real life?Dodd wrote:

This is the greatest insight I've ever heard regarding Fight Club. I like the movie, but I hate the cultural masturbation regarding what comes out of Tyler Durdens mouth.Redsmile wrote:Tyler's character is not someone you should be like or listen too.

Mostly. He does what all great seducers do- present truths: "the things you end, end up owning you" then lace it with dangerous propaganda. Tyler's marketing truths that bring you in just to extrapolate that to extremes- making the viewer an accomplice in its own dangerous method. Fincher now thinks (as has been a huge criticism of the film for me) he didn't quite make the film openly ironic enough considering how just about zero people understand the film's making fun of itself and almost everything presented is meant to be undesirable, cautionary, and dangerous. Maybe that's because the violence and humor, which the film kind of warns against people enjoying, is presented in an entertainingly rebellious way.Redsmile wrote:Tyler's character is not someone you should be like or listen too.

Both Tyler and Jack are at different ends of a spectrum (Materialist and Anti-Materialist). Film warns against becoming like either one of them.Redsmile wrote:Tyler's character is not someone you should be like or listen too. The film isn't trying to push his agenda. It's a warning.
