The themes of Fight Club

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

There are lots. I dunno if it's meant to be deep, or it's just one of those movies that people look into too much, but whatever, it's fun to dig into because it's so well done.

Anyways, I'll list one, and then someone list another.

The one theme that is pretty cool is how it shows that being blatantly left wing will eventually lead to being extremely right wing (of course it works vice versa but it doesn't happen in the movie). Everyone's treated equally, Tyler's created pretty much a communist society. However, they all become what he wants, he brainwashes them and molds them into his minions pretty much and instead of being a liberator of freedom, he just becomes a dictator like any other communist leader. He gets all the quirks, they all serve him and he isn't treated equally- he's above everyone else and they are all his lowly maggots.

Fight Club ruled.

It had alot of themes, which is way it ruled. One I liked is the Marla/Jack/Tyler relationship. It pretty resembles any normal relationship. We all alittle Jack and Tyler in us; like times when we really want to bang our chick, but when it's all over we barely know her.

The fact that Jack and Tyler were basically best friends made the fact that they kicked each others asses on a regular funny. But you hurt the ones you love.

"You can swallow a pint of blood before you get sick"

Since Jack was Tyler, it's sensible to say that Jack quit his job to make soap. All the while making a seperalist group doing anything but 'cleaning' society.

"First rule of Fight Club, you don't talk about Fight Club. Second rule of Fight Club, you Don't talk about Fight Club." Tyler definately protecting the fact that Fight Club was founded by a guy who beat himself up every week.

Jack went to therapy seesions and Jack started sleeping for a year. Listen closely to Tyler's words, and you'll hear him mention that's he's been around for a year.

Jack shooting himself didn't kill him, but would it kill Tyler, then? Jack took a bold step that he otherwise would never have taken. Infact, you can say it was something Tyler would've done. The relation between Jack and Tyler bassically is Tyler being the 'release' of Jack. If Jack was as bold as Tyler in the first place, Tyler wouldn't exist. So taking the step in shooting himself, eliminated Tyler for good.
