Lmao, the racial implications of this would be beyond dramatic, please please someone tell the 🧃 that this would help destabilize the US a lil more

I recall Patrice O'Neal saying that Fight Club was the whitest movie he'd ever seen. Perhaps anti-yuppie brotherhood is not a topic that American would be too interested in.

How are you going to find THAT many straight black college graduates?

>people who take no pride in their work are pointlessly dissatisfied

There are many ways to find purpose and fulfillment, but those chasers will never understand.

>What men want is a sense of ownership of their efforts

That's what I said

>and like they are actually going somewhere in life.

nah. Most men only care about station in life in so far as it gets them laid or respected by others.

>The point the people criticizing the protagonist of fight club for hating is life are missing is that his life is the life of Joe average where he can never hold an actual sense of relevance. It's not about how much you own or how rich you are. It's about how there is no sense of purpose or of having done anything that actually matters because you are drone #95495203 and replaceable by drones #10385938 to drone #95739434. There is no sense of personal accomplishment or life satisfactio

Yes. All of this is accurately summarized under "succeed on the merits of their own two hands"

>to then conclude that people would be happier getting eaten by wild dogs in the jungle is even more r-slurred.

humans bop dogs, 9:1 matchup

living in caves and fending off bears with spears and growing tomatoes would absolutely make part of male psychology significantly more satisfied than office work. It would suck because of the other parts, where people also value safety and shelter and comforts and not starving. The vast, vast majority of Americans alive today don't need to worry about not starving or freezing to death, so those concerns are forgotten and minimized.

So, would males be happier as cavemen? No.

Is Fight Club a brotherhood story about how some caveman aspects in life would be more satisfying? Yes.

perhaps do something interesting outside of work

The thing about Office Space is that they got the shitty tech job down 100%. There are jobs that are exactly like what's shown in the movie, so for people who have worked a job like that, it has a really documentary feel to it.

Kinda like old Dilbert comics.

Office Space is relatable if you've ever held a deep seated resentment for your job

If this doesn't get at least a smile out of someone idk what to say

Fight Club isn't bad, but it leaned into "I'm 14 and this is deep" a bit too hard. Which doesn't make it a poor film necessarily, it's just teenagers acting like it was the most brilliant thing ever and refusing to shut up about it for awhile got old fast. Solid ending though, I'll hand it that

fight club tries waaaaaaaaaaaay too hard. it's a movie edgy teens love and think is the deepest thing ever made.

i rewatched fightclub with my cousin & her ultrazoomer lil brother. both of them fell asleep

Color grading

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_grading

They abused it in the late 90s/early 2000s in a tacky heavily stylized way, cuz it was a new computer toy

lol yeah, the Kevin Spacey is only pretending to be a creep (what an actor!) bit aged worst of all, didn't it?

making bombs is insanely easy if you have acess to nitric acid

which of course means that it's impossible to get in macacoland !macacos

no fun allowed, ever

Aw yeah picric, WW1 spicy explosive

Any self-respecting !fedposters or !oolschayootershays already has TM-31-210 always at the ready on his phone for all his bombmaking needs

you're fricking bananas if you think I'm reading all that, take my downmarsey and shut up idiot

It was fun and amusing, but it doesn't say anything serious. Its core message is teenage angst about growing up.

it was shitty

Movie is more ambiguous as they win in the end whereas the book implies project mayhem will go on forever as its more enjoyable fricking with the system vs actually tearing it down.

Yes it does. R-slurs don't watch movies.

One of my favorite movies ever. I guess what I like about it is it's not speaking to people who believe or people who don't, it's speaking to people about the process of deciding to believe. That this is a real decision, it really matters, but it's for you to make. And it's not so obvious that every good person will immediately know the answer and just check the right box.

Also the part about nobody ever recognizing your chronic pain because you're so angelic you never complain, which is actually me irl.

I don't care much about the liturgical calendar change, it was just stupid and there was no good reason for it. I reserve my seething rage for when weekday feasts and especially obligations are transferred to Sunday.

Michael Douglas's character was a man highly prone to violence.

True. There's nothing inherently good or evil about that. This violent guy is rampaging across town chimping out and finally letting everything loose. Sometimes he's completely in the right (with the Nazi obviously, with the hard-working Americans, the old guy on the golf course). Sometimes he's clearly nuts and in the wrong and isn't noticing that his idea of doing what's right is hurting innocent people. I mean frick, the scene in the Korean convenience store, I've been on both sides of that.

his ex-wife mentioned that although he never hit her she always felt he was about to snap at any moment

And what happens in the end? Think about that ending scene, how it corresponds with that.

(As an aside if you take things really literally, if a woman says "he didn't hit me but I felt like he might" this is that she's trying to manipulate you into getting into her trouble.)

Over the course of the movie he learns that he's not the good guy, he's not the bad guy, he's just a guy who doesn't have any place in this world anymore.

Yeah he was very much the villain in that movie but as the protagonist he became a sympathetic villain. He's a completely detestable, selfish character, it's just some of his goals intersect with general resentment against the system.

It's a good film

It's not like that, it's a movie for everybody. In 1940 a Jewish refugee was sheltered in Lourdes for a while and the only way he could think of to repay them was to tell the story of their local heroine. That book is what the movie is based on. It works no matter what (if anything) you believe.

And that's what he learns through his journey. That in all these fights it didn't matter that much if he was right or wrong, he just didn't fit in anymore. That's how I took it at least.

society intentionally ignores some stuff. if you act all smug and start "whistleblowing", you'll get a bullet not a medal

I think I've explained that about both movies elsewhere in the thread, but I'll assume you mean The Song of Bernadette. I like it because it doesn't tell you to believe or not believe and it doesn't hide any of the evidence for and against her. It's not judgmental of people who are willing to believe and it's not judgmental of people who want to see evidence.
