There were a lot of differences that I noticed in viewing of Fight Club in this class than I did when I first watched it. Maybe it was that I was watching with a more critical eye in class than I had before or maybe it had just been awhile since I had seen it but I got a lot more out of it in the second viewing. The idea of project Mayhem came out of his internal mayhem was something that I hadn’t really caught on too before and that it would ultimately lead to him trying to fix his problem. Also, after watching it a second time I’m wondering if he got rid of Durdan or if Durdan got rid of rid of Norton’s character. That makes the ending kind of eerie to me more so than before.
Overall I liked Fight Club because it criticizes the way people tend to rely on the material things and depend on them for stability. There was also the way that people lined up to follow this guy who you find out later is crazy, that’s something that boggles my mind. It was also a very entertaining movie to watch which makes it as exceptional. I think I’m going to have to read this book.
