fight club

 I was just making a joke post about media literacy and remembered fightclub. do you know how pissed it made me?

not at the movie. at the videos on it.

I WATCHED a video about it and they spoke about male loneliness and masculinity and how they use it as an escape and stuff but they completely forget about the FEMALE CHARACTER??? LIKE I WATCHED IT AND SAW THIS CHICK AND THOUGHT "huh how come i never see her" AND I SWEAR TO GOD SHE WAS A VITAL PIECE OF THE FUCKING MOVIE BUT NOOOO LETS FOCUS ON THE FUCKING AGENDA UGGGHHH. so essentially the movie ISNT about masculinity, not in the way it was told to me. 

See in my mind its about having an ideal but being stuck in your old self. Its about going too far, and escaping from responsibility. Brad is the ideal. The movie is spent trying to stop Brad from his extremist ideals, with it eventually being revealed that our main character has a split personality. yeah, and that's never ever brought up in any of those videos, but its super important. honestly i should rewatch it and come back to this because i used to have a lto of thoughts on this and lost it but it'll come back i promise
