it’s psued garbage and indicative of how vapid Gen Xers are and were.

I don't think you're really seeing the nuance and the underlying implications of the narrative. It went right over your head. As it does with most people

Very woke movie for its time.

The activists that worked with Tyler would be called Antifa today.

The concept of a schlub-y office faggot just mental-illness-ing himself into being a ripped chad who everyone loves and respects, and acts like he actually is Brad Pitt, is one of the funnier things about the movie.

The other one is how the film is completely uninterested in the concept of consequences, and the guy literally faces none for anything he did.

Explain to me what nuance there is

The movie is nearly thirty years old and we're all still talking about it. It is a film that has resonance to anyone who sees it, regardless of what avenue or point of view they take on it. Its a well made film as well, one that has near infinite rewatch value. The message of our species of hunter gatherers being reduced to consumers in order to tame our primal urges and reclaiming our masculinity by beating each other up sounds great on the surface to rekindle bonding experiences between men in an environment women would be verboten from is one thing, but then having it morph into terroristic activities with the end goal vision of the mentally ill side of the protagonist being humanity returning to a primal agrarian post-technological society in the ruins of old cities? Sorry Durden, but I kinda like having hot showers. I like clean running water. I like heat in my home. U like that even though leather clothes can last for the rest of my life, the convenience of being able to purchase them at my leisure from a location nearby instead of having to resort to skinning an animal to wear its hide after scrapping the tallow out from under it? None of that sounds appealing and that's where the message gets lost. Tyler's solution of reverting back to a rejection of modern comforts, rejection of consumerism and wealth, resetting society back to zero by erasing debt records and finding gnosis or peace or zen in the ensuing chaos of embracing a society free from such noise sounds great on paper, but absolutely shit in execution.

It's a good movie. Just kind of immature. It was one of the first seeds showing men being pushed out of society that resonates to this day. Not Fincher's best in my opinion. I still put Zodiac at the top.

Men still want Brad Pitt's abs from this movie

masterpiece considering how quotable it is alone

Masterpiece. Dumb normies tend to take this film at face value. Surface level type shit. It's much more than that.

The movie is a hyperreal "world", a simulation, the Matrix if you will. Everyone is just a figment of the Narrator, even the unnamed MC, that people even mistook as the Narrator. No one in the film is real, not Marla, Bob, NPCs acting like NPCs, not even the world.

This movie taught me that having stable well paid job and loving girlfriend is literally a nightmare. I accepted it and live according to it

I've tried to watch it but the dude talking to himself is annoying so I always stop watching. The characters in this film are garbage and uninteresting.

and the fact that envy prevents you from relating to people in slightly better circumstances than your own is not a form of "vapidity"? even when the people were raging against the very same things that eventually led to your present circumstances being worse?

It's a masterpiece.

Does this film offer anything to NEET viewers or is it only made for normalfag wagies to relate to?
>>
>>219810215
It's made for the modern NEET. Gay nihilist wrote it.

The movie is a warning against radicalization and the morons in this thread complaining about the normies not getting it also don't get it, ironically.

>>219800899
masterful film making, pitiful philosophy

>>219810215
of course it does

This came out when I was 18 and me and my gf were on a date and walked to the cinema at saw this at random and it completely blew us away. Went a second time with my gang and we quoted this for months.

I rewatched it a couple of years ago and now it’s very cringe inducing. Maybe cringekino is more the right word: The performances are all very good, the cinematography is excellent the style is iconic etc, but the constant narration, liberal know-better-than-you and the dialogue is typical turn of the century edgy intellectual shit that I’m no longer impressed by.
