Brutally Honest Trailer showsFight Club’sbiggest flaw—orstrength

Fight Club opened in theaters 15 years ago . I was an impressible teenager at that moment and it blew me away . Fincher ’s study is spotless — cinematographically speaking . But , as Honest Trailers say , there is a very canonical flaw in its plot . Or perhaps this is not a flaw but its boastful strength , as Jesus [ Diaz ] allege .

For me , the intact assumption of Fight Club is flawed . Mad Ed Norton creates a motion to dissent against society ’s consumerism - driven convention , split up with the honest-to-god , and set up lawlessness . But by doing so it turns himself into a fascistic leader with a rule - bound movement behind him . To battle the slavery of modern society , he de facto buckle down others . To battle the system , he creates a new system that might be even worse .

For Jesús , that ’s precisely what the movie is trying to show out and its bighearted strength . History has show that there ’s no way to break the linguistic rule without creating new rule . Those who are freedom fighter turn finally into part of the system or the system itself . Those who go against the administration finally become part of establishment or supplant it entirely . Every countercultural movement is culture by definition . Everything becomes a Cartesian product , even if the Maker does n’t need that . Every revolution — political , ethnic , technological — in the history of the domain has been like this .
