haha not to mention that fight club uses consumerism and faceless institutions as a theme and the monitor uses the civil war, honestly don't see what robertsona was trying to say
|
| |
i wasnt implying anything; simply asking--once again, ive never seen fight club
it just seemed to me that the people who like this and the people who like fight club seemed to cite--at the core (the details in
the two are obviously very different, not to mention theyre two completely different mediums)--this similar invigoration in them
that the album/movie caused and stuff

"you will always be a loser, and thats ok"
that doesn't scream fight club to me
on second thought, i revoke that touché
tyler durden is pretty much stoic about being "the middle children of history" or whatever and it seems like his goal is to help people accept that "god does not love you, in fact he probably hates you"
|

its okay robertsona i respect you

All I can say is that Fight Club is nearly about becoming a slave to nihilism. the monitor is about acceptance in the long run. the acceptance of being ineffectual and the acceptance of one's character.
|
| |
can't you kind of imagine tyler durden yelling at edward norton:
"YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A LOSER AND THAT'S OKAY"

In the end of both, it seems as if both characters sort of give up and accept their fate
|
| |
i dont think the monitor is really about nihilism since they name all the things they're not, but i've never watched this film everyone talks about so
|

but the "thats ok" part contradicts the nature of the film, every basic revolutionary thought becoming radicalized to a point where edward norton becomes enslaved by progression.
i mean this is all speculation, but that's how i see it

Tyler Durden: Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God's unwanted children? So be it!
Narrator: OK. Give me some water!
Tyler Durden: Listen, you can run water over your hand and make it worse or...
[shouts]
Tyler Durden: look at me... or you can use vinegar and neutralize the burn.
Narrator: Please let me have it... *Please*!
Tyler Durden: First you have to give up, first you have to *know*... not fear... *know*... that someday you're gonna die.
cmon...

and then the film eventually progresses to a reeducation-esque labor camp with tyler durden's voice saying over a mic "you are not a unique and individual snowflake"
|
| |
right, and he's getting them to accept it. you know like, "that's okay"

its weerd because thats true

but fight club seems to end in revolutionary, entity enforced collectivism, but the monitor ends in celebratory, reactionary individualism
|
| |
Album Rating: 5.0
nawww fight club supports individualism too

"you are not a unique, individual snowflake"
what I'm attempting to stress is that The Monitor accepts that their will always be some sort of mainstream, and Fight Club, in attempts to destroy mainstream-ism, creates an alternate one
|
| |
Album Rating: 5.0
but doesnt the alternate one eventually turn into the mainstream itself, and at the end the character breaks out of it and becomes his own person once again, supporting individualism?
