Fight club is the one of the best movie in last decade..It is based on many Philosophies.Fight Club
is not a film about fighting or violence. it’s a narrative about life, and it’s about ridding ourselves
of the corporate and cultural influences (or perhaps the confluence of the two)that control our
lives.
1.Deconstrunctionism
Fight club written in the method of deconstructionism. The theory states that there is no one
meaning when observing a piece of text. Instead, a text has several different meanings. The
theory also states that when given a piece of literature, the reader ultimately decides what the
meaning is, not the text in the book.
2.Materialism
Fight club is constructed with deep materialism philosophical theories..If don't know what is
materialism here “ Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the
fundamental substance in nature, and that all phenomena, including mental phenomena
and consciousness, are results of material interactions.some materialism on fight club.
You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you
drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your fucking khakis. You’re the
all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.
In this way tyler forced our mind to do not assume anyone with his physical and materialist
appearance.
3.Minimalism
Yes tyler is pure minimalist.He create his ideas with simple logics.
This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
4.Consumerism
Fight club heavily focused at consumerism.Tyler hate all products and commercial ethics.He
only teach our self we are not special,we are consumers.
“We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie
gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very
pissed off.”
You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying
organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing,
all dancing crap of the world.
5.Self improvement (According to tyler)
Self improvement is masturbation
Fight club meant it” Masturbation is stereo typically thought of as the ultimate waste of time kind
of activity. Just something for immediate gratification that doesn't add up to anything so, under
their philosophy, the real way to improve yourself is to go yank your **** and enjoy the moment.
Or go fight someone, or wreck something.That's how I would interpret it.”(according to tyler)
6.Reality
In our world we all have one Tyler in our inner character..But we don't extract himself.. Because
of capitalism and control of our society.
7.WARNING
“If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine
print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that
you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with
authority that you give respect and credenceto all who claim it? Do you read everything
you'resupposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're
told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the
excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't
claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned ....... Tyler”
