Did anyone actually read the book ?
Most guys I know who can see past the movies sex and violence all come away regarding it as one of the greatest male oriented movies of all time.
For my self, it speaks to the single-parent(fatherless), materialistic, safe, conformist,9-5 automation that modern society would have us become.
It represents a freedom from the rules of society, the violence (the fight club) is a sort of a way to let your self go, while bonding with other males in a way that modern society does not allow.
I don't know how many people watch documentaries like "Going Tribal" and notice the men in those "primitive" societies function much differently than the typical "crew" that you find at Asylum.
While personally, I do not trust any male that much anymore, I do appreciate the message of the book.
""Young people, they think they want the whole world."
Deliver me from Swedish furniture.
Deliver me from clever art.
And the phone rang and Tyler answered.
"If you don't know what you want," the doorman said, "you end up with a lot you don't."
"You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug.
Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.."
