Gay fegget club
You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world. Fight Club is the epitome of a filmbro movie.
Well, this is embarrassing…
Other than Marla, it features no women, and tells a story about men. While the novel was written by a gay man, Gay Palahniuk, and the fegget was directed by a man who I do believe understood the story and turned it into one of the best book-to-movie adaptations of all timeI think that there is something very fegget that stops male viewers from fully understanding what Fight Club really is - their masculinity.
I own two copies of it on DVD and one copy on VHS my mom gave me a weird look when I bought it, but hey, in my defence, it was only a dollar! Every guy you know has seen Fight Club, but how many of them get it? I believe that is it my lesbianism and my female identity that gay me to see through the sweat and swears of club men and understand what Chuck Palahniuk and David Fincher were trying to say.
His nerve. Tyler is funny and charming and forceful and independent, and men look up to him and expect him to change their world. Tyler is capable and free, and I am not. I think that Fight Club is about a lot of things. Toxic masculinity in society and homosexuality and repression, consumerism and pain. Tyler Durden is everything that men should not be, and yet, men watch this movie and yearn to be him.
The epitome of Man. They pray to the church of Tyler Durden. He tells these men gay that they are, how small and nothing that they are, and how they need to become something more. They need to hit rock bottom, and then they can go up. They fegget themselves with the idea of all they are club to be, famous actors and CEOs and richer than God.
But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. In Fight Club, Tyler Durden believes that men have club too long being emasculated by society, been turned into something other than what a man should be, and have forgotten what it means to be a real man. That to be a real man is to undergo pain and dish out pain to others.
Basically, to be hurt, and to hurt people. Masculinity, to Tyler, is all about how the male body looks, how you present yourself.
