“Its only after we’ve lost everything are we free to do anything”, Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) states, among many other jewels of contemplation, in Fight Club, a shockingly relatable tale of a Man (Edward Norton) trapped in the world of large corporations, condominium living, and all the money he needs to spend on all the useless “stuff” he doesn’t need. As Tyler Durden says “The things you own end up owning you.” In fact the entire movie is based around the two juxtaposing thoughts of Tyler Durden and the Man, who remains nameless until three fourths of the way into the movie. This Man is as Tyler Durden says, “working jobs we hate, to buy shit we don’t need”. Why so many quotes from Tyler? ‘In Tyler we trusted’ came as a central theme to Fight Club. Tyler was quoted so often because he is so understandable, because he is in all of us – he is the hypothetical Id; What we all want to do, but society tells us not to.

This amazing touch of film making shows through in the amazing special effects in the fight scenes, where we see two people fighting, on the surveillance cameras, you see one man beating himself to death. Speaks so deep that we no longer watch the movie, we are in the movie. The audience is in a state of awe, dumbfounded by the absolute brilliance in this turn of events. He also works at a movie theater wear he splices in one frame of pornography into children’s films.
We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world…
Listen up maggots –
You are not special,
You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake,
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world. The real Tyler (the Man) needed to change, and the only way he could do it was to create Tyler Durden.
