Fight club is all about the terrible consequences of not opening up emotionally
53Yeah but that would require them to pay attention to the story and reflect on it so they understand the consequences. For a lot of people, they never make those connections, and anything on the screen being depicted is also being encouraged and glorified in their minds.
31Could've sworn it was a 139 minute Lynchian carousel about the dangers of insomnia and consumerism.
15The book maybe but the movie definitely glorifies the violence without direct context for why it’s wrong. At least to a degree that can be easily understood by the target audience of teenage boys.
9So, the director hid a swastika in one of the shadows to indicate that he thought the society was evil, among a ton of other things. He talked about it in the director's commentary. But yeah, it's actually super easy to miss unless you know it's actually a warning (which, like you said, the teenage boys it's marketed to wouldn't understand)... Which is kind of the problem with a lot of media, like the entire genre of cyberpunk.
2I loved the movie which made me read the book and then I understood the message. The book is fantastic.
