I like the reading that the Protagonist of Fight Club is a closeted homosexual and his exagerared performance of masculinity is his fantasy of what being a successful straight guy is. There are a lot of clues: he obesseses over male bodies, his ideal self that no one else sres wears a lot of affeminate apparel, he never actually shows any sexual attraction to Darla only his ideal straight self does, his hobbies are fashion and shopping from IKEA. The author of the novel is gay so I feel something of his experience is projected onto the Protagonist.

[@whysocurious7366]

That makes sense :o

[@CL-jw4ei]

Interest in fashion and ikea = gay ? 😂😂

[@danielhann4439]

Have you read the new preface to the book? Palahniuk talks about what the book is really about and said hed get approached by people starting up fight clubs etc all the time injecting meaning. On one occasion he talks about how he was approached by a gay man on a flight who said something along the lines of 'thank you for writing something for the gay community and about how gay men share affection', his reply was 'yes, thats exactly what the book is about' He does however explain in reality that the plot is meaningless and that the subject was conceptual, each scene revolves around two principles 'something about brotherhood' and 'a story someone told me about a college experience'. I found it hilarious considering how much people read into the film.

I don't care about age ratings on video games and movies normally, but I do think Fight Club needs a maturity rating because the amount of teenagers who think Tyler's end goal is badass and correct is worrying. Yes he pointed out issues that needed to be solved, but the way he went about trying to solve it was wrong. Maturity is realising that.

[@buttermypickle5054]

I saw a video where a guy talked about Tyler specifically the Part where Tyler talks about how men have raised by single moms and the guy was so true! I was like how do you miss the point so hard? The point is that Tyler is a cult leader that takes advantage of people Tyler Contradicts himself Constantly in the movie. I swear right wingers have garbage media Literacy on media that makes fun of them.

Fight Club is like V for Vendetta, in that people can very easily take the wrong message from it, if they want to. My psychologist said that Fight Club was the most significant film of a generation.

[@Nerobyrne]

I prefer V for Vendetta, mostly because the message is closer to how real revolutions happen. Yeah, an individual can spark it, but it's on all of us to make a difference. Also because it very clearly outlines specific traits of governments which cause people to rise up, not just someone being disaffected with society.

The fact that the story is essentially a screed against consumerism and toxic masculinity is kind of just a nice bonus to me-and I'm glad I'm apparently part of a lucky few who watched this movie as a lonely teenager and _didn't_ wind up misinterpreting any of its themes.

[@Vict0r1984]

To be fair, if you watch Chinese historical dramas, a lot of martial arts cultivator types look and act a lot like they're gay... (with a few of them you can even kinda tell that the "straightness" was forced upon those characters to avoid censorship 😂) There was also recently a show adaptation of "Grandmaster of demonic cultivation" or "Mo Dao Zu Shi" in the original Mandarin, a Chinese Xianxia novel whose main character is gay (and a pretty immoral badass at several points), so I have no idea how they went around it with that one! Haven't watched the show but they might've changed the gender of MCs love interest, which would kinda be hilarious, as there were no female cultivation sect leaders in that book (at least not direct leaders), and that guy was a very respected sect leader, so in a way they'd censor away the gayness for... female empowerment?!? 😂🤣 Not sure if they did this - I think most likely they just removed any obvious clues to the gay romance and painted it as a close friendship or some shit, (this would probably please boring censors the most), which would make plenty of stuff from the book not make sense and overall be too boring to be even worth watching, so I think I like my made-up interpretation of what they did more...

[@crashchannel_2787]

Hays code was like that for Hollywood in the early days. The Motion Picture Production Code of 1930 was based on one core belief: “if motion pictures present stories that will affect lives for the better, they can become the most powerful force for the improvement of mankind.” This lofty interpretation of films as a guidepost to modify and control people’s morals resulted in a long list of governances, encapsulated by three overall principles: 1. No picture shall be produced that will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin. 2. Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented. 3. Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation. In short, the bad guy can never win, crime must never be glamorized and social taboos (such as homosexuality) can not be expressly depicted. While these guidelines were technically voluntary, not adhering to them became disastrous for studios and filmmakers. As such, the Hays Code (and similar strictures enforced by the massive Catholic Legion of Decency) influenced almost every American film made between 1930 and 1966.

Was that what the anti porn guy was referring to when vaush debated him a couple weeks ago? That's nuts, because in media since time immemorial its stands that "if it bleeds it leeds" I guess they weren't too worried about making money lol

[@crashchannel_2787]

@@betterthanrae8137 yes that is what that guy was referring to but he seemed to be misinterpreting to be some moral grand strand for what's best for American's when in reality it's a tool of fascism (controlling the narrative). Also correct on the news media being the "if it bleeds it leads" method has been a popular one for ratings which makes their sponsors happy. Journalism seems like it is to be about pride about getting the truth and story and setting things right. Idk if that's Hollywood myth, if it ever actually existed I mean there's examples of it happening so it somewhat was real or maybe those are just government ploys to make us think reporters are actually doing their job occasionally 👀

Even as an authoritarian you'd need some seriously fucked up calculus to justify Light's later actions with utilitarianism though.

[@toehairyum]

MASSIVE spoilers so proceed with caution, but this is a WHOLE new level of irony. So, tldr, the Chinese changed the ending because the bad guys aren't supposed to win right? WRONG. Sure, on a very surface level, bad guy commits crime, bad guy goes to jail. However this is still a work of fiction, and therefore the "good guy", the role of protagonist, is whoever the author wants them to be. Not just, whoever commits the least amount of crimes. The original ending actually paints a very bleak picture. The narrator spends the story indulging in unrestrained over-compensation to run from his own insecurities, and in the end, he's trapped in a hell of his own making. Even if he recognizes that those parts of himself are toxic, he's still trapped. Fincher's ending is very different. The narrator succeeds in stopping his alternate personality (Tyler) from destroying his life. When he shoots himself in the head, killing Tyler, he's finally accepts himself for the person he truely is, insecurities and all. He knows he has flaws, but he won't let those flaws dictate his life anymore. The message of the whole movie becomes "Hey viewer? Its ok to be the narrator. You dont have to push yourself to be Tyler." The conflict in Fight Club was never the questioning of authority, the state vs. anarchists. The real conflict, the thing that drives the movie, is the narrator's battle with his own self. So in the Chinese version, the "bad guy" still wins, because Tyler is still free to torment the narrator however he chooses. That's irony.

[@it-s-a-mystery]

The bad guy is free to torment the narrator... Who cares, he's not free to terrorize the state, and the authorities have been shown to be powerful. This is talking from the position they would have, not my own. I care about the individual. I understand your point.

Chuck Palahniuk Is Fine With Chinese Censorship of Fight Club, Actually: You could say Chuck Palahniuk saw the Chinese government's censorship of "Fight Club" coming ... because the new ending is closer to the original one he wrote 25 years ago. The famed author -- who penned the OG novel that became the 1999 movie -- joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" to give us his take on China removing the film's big explosive climax. Chuck says it's funny to him that folks are up in arms over the censorship overseas because he's been dealing with his books being banned for a long time right here in the U.S. -- and he calls out Texas, in particular.

Fighting is dirty and even just one fight can leave you with reminders of it for life. I wish I could've been in fewer. I also had a bad take of the movie as a teen when it came out but have come to appreciate its meaning, with a worker number in a corporation, with my single servings drawer for lunch in the office, and those superficial interactions with some coworkers. I do get more real with people, nothing as shocking as in the movie, but it does still catch people off guard. I in no way live my life like the characters, but I recognize the movie's critique on society. But I'm probably too much of a normie, still fairly new to this channel. I had a bit of a crisis with that gif of Squidward with the same factual expression, switching between different locations, as life dragged on.

3:29 this really is NOT an important point, but Vaush is wrong about sword fighting looking cool. Stage fighting can look cool, fencing can look cool.

[@nikdoesstuff9338]

Wtf did they do with infinity war then Fade to black Then ant man crawled up Thano's asshole and blew him up and the police clapped

[@cnacma]

This ending change proves China is absolutely a capitalist country. A true communist country would be happy to show the under dog striking a massive blow right to the heart of the capitalist financial infrastructure. They didn’t attack the government or the people, they very specifically attacked giant corporations. The beating heart of capitalism. The fact that they pulled that out of the movie entirely is very telling.

[@d0nj03]

Myeeaah, but then everyone would be up in arms about how their plans are to bomb capitalist countries the second they have enough military resources, whereas the picture they're trying to present with the whole BRI thing at this stage is "no, we want mutually beneficial peaceful economic cooperation, unlike those dirty westerners spreading their influence at the point of a gun". The really curious thing to me though is how it never for a second occurs to Vaush that maybe it's more socialist to not want to glamorize antisocial behavior, to not want to raise teenagers with this image of the "bad guy" being "cool" and sexy. Are we so brainwashed by capitalist media that we can't question if some of these tropes we grew up with were maybe toxic the whole time?

The closest I've ever been to being in a fight was in highschool, I stupidly hit on a close friend's ex, so he wanted to fight me, so I let him punch me in the face a few times. We are still close friends like 10 years later. Most masculine thing I've ever done.

Fight Club (Canon Fanedit) by TenCent

[@mookiestewart3776]

me and my buddies used to fight for fun, like full on bloody faces fights, and yeah everything hurts after but there was some kind of cathartic release from it lol

[@johnswanger8474]

Violence is the lowest form of communication

[@CaptainPrincess]

my problem with fight club is that I get it, but I dont like it when I think of it correctly I enjoy more the wrong interperetation and that just makes me like it more that way

[@adamsmasher9769]

I used to bounce. He is absolutely correct about fighting. I just manhandled people because i didnt want to get punched in the face lol. Dont even give them the chance, just throw them down

[@Dorne_is_the_GOAT]

The irony is this makes the movie better

[@somefunification]

Being faithful to the text is bad if you're China~ Vaush

[@ellagage1256]

The text of the movie is called a screenplay, it's not the book

[@blascantu7221]

You quickly realize, “shit just got real” when it’s your first time getting punched on the nose really REALLY hard. And if a movie is more than ten years old you shouldn’t care about spoiling it IMO.

[@supershinigami1]

also if it's an adaptation

[@dappershinx9234]

Nah that's bullshit. Nobody can consume all media that has ever existed prior to your arbitrary timespan.

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@dappershinx9234 This. As long as you give a proper warning like he did here it's fine, but there's no period of time where you can just randomly blurt out massive spoilers to things because "they should have seen it by now." It takes so little effort not to ruin things for other people, always frustrating to hear that excuse. Ironically I've never seen Fight Club precisely because it was spoiled by basically everyone so there doesn't seem to be much of a point now.

[@SuperAsefasef]

Boys thinking Tyler is cool and wanting to be him or follow him proves that the book was pretty on the nose tbh.

[@kap1618]

I recently watched the movie. I knew about the twist prior to going in. Despite knowing that the movie is still enjoyable. Its also fun to look for the little details.

[@jaymiddleton1782]

Tyler Durden is a fashion icon, tho, let’s be real.

Palahniuk is pronounced 'Paula-Nick', Vaush.

And so it continues. Why do we pirate? We want un-tampered-with copies of old movies. Yo ho. Also: can confirm. Fight Club appreciation is hawt. Bonus points if you mention Calvin and Hobbes.

Some similarity with how Kubrick changed the end of Clockwork Orange from the source material I winder if China would change that in a similar way should they stream it
