| This movie was a box-office faliure because the marketing for the movie was terrible, and many of the critics couldn't see past the violence (of which there's not as much as you would think) to the deeper meaning of the film. You'll probably have to watch Fight Club several times to pick up some of the many messages it has to offer. The main themes are anti-capitalism, anarchy, and existentialism, which are subtly conveyed through the idea of the "fight club", which is an outlet for office worker's built up rage from having to live in a capitalist society. Notice the brand names that Project Mayhem tries to destroy: Apple, Volkswagen, Starbucks, Ikea-- companies that have a kind of cuteness to them, when they are really the corporations behind the social movements trying to mold your life into one based on materialism. This movie isn't about senseless violence, it's about the lack of identity that a capitalist society brings, and the eventual chaos that it will lead to. |
