it will just become more and more relevant because the aim of the modern world is to force us into endless comfort and the few ones that realize whats happening will always call back to fight club
I wish this would have been a longer video, but then i realized i was going to fall into the loop of not making my opinions and being instructed, which is a kind of self help thing the world promotes, so thank you for keeping it short and making us think, very good message my friend, hope much success to you!
I try to keep them all around 5 minutes. I definitely could have gone into more depth. Perhaps I will in the future. Thank you for the sharing and for the well wishes. Hope to see you back on future videos!
Just bumped into this on recommendations. Never knew i needed to watch this, its very informative really. Subbed! Liked your commentary and interpretations
This is why I love the internet. Maybe it's because it's the new year and I see everyone talking about self improvement but I was just cleaning my apartment and had a brief flashback to this line having not seen the movie in years. It's great to see other people in the world pondering similar thoughts.
Man you make the most complicated things to understand the most simplest, I though what Tyler meant as in self destruction is like you ruin yourself and nothing good comes out of it
I need a video essay about why tyler durden wears expensive clothes if materialistic things dont matter ( olivers people glasses and gucici loafers ) and why his tshirts are cropped or if its just the vision of the artist to dress him in 70/80s clothes thank you :)) keep up the videos
Hey bro, I really loved this analysis and I feel like this one's the most correct analysis on this dialogue from the movie. Keep it up, I saw your other video too!
It's definitely a love story and how men have so many feeling going through them as they try to fall in love, but also battle their insecurities to being vulnerable.
Hey I really like your type of Videos. Keep it up, you will grow faster than you think. Maybe put some music in the background for a better atmosphere. Btw from where do you get your movie clips from fight club for example? If I may ask.
When I watch ur breakdowns, I'm like looking in a mirror where I'm a narrator, which was around a right way, but got somewhere else. I was playing ⚽, I've been full of crap really, couldn't play, I thought I am not practicing proper amount of hours (I had been training 3-4h/ a day), but I didn't really played bc of my coach. But my teammates had head start they have been playing since Idk 4-5 I started at 14. And most of my skills it was just me playing with other dudes in a street. But my teammates were playing 10 years with other dudes, and training was more like for physical condition, it is no development technically. And my coach was giving me a hint, that I need to play more but I didn't get it, I dropped out of football section 1,5 year ago
But what if boxer number 3 sometimes hit the heavy bag, run and do some pushups (improve himself) and after that do some sparring and fights (self destruction). In the end i think boxer 3 will be better fighter than 1 or 2.
Can't argue with that. 100% agree. I'm just dropping some my FC interpretations in this vid. Not arguing for one side or the other. But if you want my opinion I 100% agree. The truth always lies somewhere in the middle, and I think this boxer 3 scenario you've posed is the correct path! A whole lot of self improvement, coupled with a little bit of self destruction.
My critique of self improvement "culture" is that it's too obsessive and it isn't going to fix all of one's problems. 1. Self improvement culture on RU-vid plays into confirmation bias, it's closely related to the red pill/black pill sphere. It becomes an obsession like nofap where everyone who partakes goes around proclaiming their commitment to nofap or how they've failed nofap. On some level you have to just live. 2. Self improvement via learning a new language or working out etc probably won't make you a millionaire or solve your family problems or certain health problems. You could spend 2 years learning a new language only to be unsatisfied because someone else already knows 5 foreign languages. Same can be said for someone who goes to the gym for years but still gets upstaged by a genetically shredded guy. The critiques that you have presented, that self improvement is self-gratifying and an ego-stroke are good too. It doesn't bring long lasting satisfaction or solve all the problems in life. Self destruction, if seen as destroying one's ego and pride, gives room for more long lasting personal growth.
I personally don't think buying new stuff is considered self improvement, self improvement is a long term change that you decide to commit in order to grow as a person, for example training everyday, rejecting trash food, sleeping enough every night, and so on. Also meditating and reading in order to grow spiritually, both the boxer who trained and the boxer who sparred were improving themselves but in different methods... Self-Destruction would be the opposite
I agree whole heartedly. I was just articulating Tyler’s point. But at the end of the day, Tyler’s philosophy results in mayhem, destruction and death. I myself abide by everything you just laid out: train, good food, good sleep, meditate!
wait it just clicked for me- if self improvement is masturbation, then self destruction would would be sex right? So. So they tried to subtly imply every time the narrator is going to fight club being destroyed, it's like he's having sex? damn💀
I think Fight Club is telling a spiritual story. The narrator is engaged in some kind of “spiritual materialism” with his yin-yang table and sterile office life. Then, as with prince Siddhartha, he leaves his safe environment and experiences ageing, sickness and death. But the guided meditations don’t bring relief and he creates a false ego in Tyler and tries to punish his body and give up material possessions. Still no good. Eventually he realises that to achieve true enlightenment (and not the premature enlightenment that Tyler refers to) he must kill his ego, dis-illusion himself and encounter reality for what it truly is.
Man, for some reason it won't let me. Says "your video has an unsupported aspect ratio". Going to put it in the comments though. Thank you for this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GD2Y_r_7fe4.html
Lol I appreciate you saying that. I just hate how the FC talk on youtube is saturated with A.I bullshit. I'm trying to stand out from the crowd with a human, imperfect video title. After all, being imperfect, IMO is what it means to be human.
@@bizarrebreakdowns there IS no aspect to be explored anymore, at this point you’re literally making shit up, shit that don’t exist in the movie, you’re taking any movement and any dialogue and you turn it into some kind of a pathetic life message that doesn’t even make sense and is highly unrealistic. When it’s literally nothing. Creating a world that only you live in, inside your head. Y’all are living in delusions and it shows.
