Создатели фильма

Chuck Palahniuk is the author of the American novel Fight Club, released in 1996.

Narrator

David Fincher is the director of "Fight Club," a movie based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same name that came out three years earlier.

Tyler Durden

At the beginning of the story, the main character works as an insurance claims counselor for an automobile manufacturing company. Because of his job, he is constantly traveling around the country. While traveling, the protagonist is surrounded by disposable things and disposable people, a whole disposable world. He finds temporary relief by attending various support groups under false pretenses; but when that stops working (thanks to Marla Singer), his insomnia returns with redoubled force.

The hero sells soap made from human fat, supposedly for better effect. The fat is stolen from a liposuction clinic. Before that, Tyler worked in a movie theater as a mechanic and for fun inserted pornography into family movies. Even earlier, the hero worked as a waiter in a restaurant, where he added his own urine and feces to the food served to customers.

Marla Singer

A woman attending support groups with the narrator. The narrator stops getting the desired therapeutic effect from attending support groups when he discovers that Marla, like himself, is faking her health problems. After the narrator stops attending groups, he meets her again when she becomes Tyler's lover.

The main idea

of the fight club

"Fight Club" is the usual critique of consumer society and the proverbial American dream. But if it were that simple, this movie wouldn't be talked about so much and so often. The main plot twist of the movie is that the two main characters turn out to be the same person.

The motto of the movie is: "Only by losing everything to the end do we gain freedom". At the center of the film is the idea of self-destruction: you have to give up everything that binds you to the world, and only then will you find true freedom.

Tyler is not a separate person, he is the narrator's own alter ego, the ideal of his masculinity.

A revolt against standardization, one-dimensionality of a man of modern society with the same life, in the same apartments with the same interior.

To know yourself, you have to break through to your true human nature. And that, according to Tyler Durden's philosophy, means experiencing real life through pain.

How the narrator

developed

a split personality

The protagonist is tormented by insomnia caused by disgust with his own life.

Due to insomnia, the hero's perception of reality is distorted, and the doctor, instead of prescribing sleeping pills, recommends that he attend support groups for the terminally ill and dying to see people who are really sick. There the hero meets Marla Singer, a healthy young woman who, like the hero, goes to these meetings to get rid of her fear of death.

First meeting on an airplane

Emergency exit at 30,000 feet.

The illusion of safety.

Yeah, I guess so.

Did you know that mixing gasoline with orange juice can produce napalm?

No, I didn't know that, but is it true?

It's true.

Explosives can be made from common materials.

Is that so?

If you want to.

Tyler, you know, you're the most interesting of all my disposable friends.

Everything on airplanes is disposable, even the people.

Clear. Very clever.

Thanks.

And you like it?

What?

Being a smartass.

Quite.

Excellent.
Keep it up.

Not for nothing does the narrator's apartment go up in flames after Tyler shows up. Everything that was so dear to the protagonist is burned. He feels as if he himself has been destroyed. The liberation from all material things is the point of no return for the protagonist.

showed up

After an explosion in his apartment, the protagonist starts living with a new friend in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. He discovers that Tyler is not inherently possessive . On the contrary, the narrator is not free, it seems to him that he is trapped in his own body, so he supports rebellion against the standardization of modern society. Tyler helps the humble man to realize his hidden needs.

Gradually, the hero gives up not only material but also moral values. He frees himself from ties with the world, from the rules that make a person part of the general system. He mocks his superiors, blackmails, does not fulfill his assignments, spits on orders.

It all starts with Tyler's request to hit him. The exchange of blows gradually ceases in a fight, which both parties are fighting not already each other, and like would their problems. Soon other people join them. Later, this "group" moves to the basement of the bar and turns into a "Fight Club". Tyler and the narrator become partners. They prescribe the rules of the institution.

"Fight Club" is a group of embittered men who hide behind the struggle with the "consumer society" and "realize their own base instincts." According to Tyler Durden, to understand yourself, you need to experience real life through pain. The narrator is involved in this because he wants to stop the inner pain with the help of external pain.

evolved

How the fight club

Gradually the club is transformed into the project «Mayhem», participants of which commit acts of vandalism.

Their goal is to fight against the consumer society.

The narrator takes part in this, but after the death of Bob (a friend from the group of psychological help), who was also one of the members of the team, he wants to stop the activity of «Mayhem»

This is not easy to do, because these communities are emerging every day in other big cities.

The members of this organization mistake the narrator for Tyler. After that, the hero realizes that Tyler is himself. The personality created by him simply does what the man was afraid to do for many years: to vent his resentment and change the imposed way of life. However, his second self began to use barbaric methods.

The need for self-discovery. The protagonist of the movie faces the loss of the meaning of life and strives to find his true self. The movie shows that the path to self-discovery often involves exploring one's dark sides, overcoming fears and facing reality. It teaches us to value our true self and search for the depth of ourselves.

A critique of consumer society. "Fight Club" sharply criticizes the consumer society and its influence on us. The movie encourages us to think about whether we are truly free to make our own choices and not just puppets in the hands of the system and advertising. It emphasizes the importance of reflecting on our values and what really matters in life.

Responsibility for our actions. «Fight Club» reminds us of the importance of understanding the consequences of our actions. Heroes face the tragic consequences of their extreme actions and struggle with the system. The film encourages us to take responsibility for our actions and understand that we shape our own lives.

Postmen, clerks, doormen, waiters, drivers, even police officers all rebelled against the system.

The narrator tries to confront Tyler. The protagonist disarms an explosive planted in one of the business centers. To get rid of the personality that destroys everything around him, the narrator shoots himself in the cheek. After that, Tyler disappears.

Project «Mayhem»

Soon it becomes known that militants are preparing a powerful terrorist act - simultaneous subversive activities of major financial companies of the country. Remarkably, the explosion was only supposed to happen when there were no people in the office, so, like Tyler said, they’re not killers.

The participants of the project "Mayhem" were former members of Fight Club, who passed a special selection (they stood on the porch of Tyler's house for 3 days without food, enduring insults and threats).

After several acts of vandalism under the slogan of fighting the zombified consumer society, the hunt for local officials begins.
