Next up is a much requested film; Fight Club! I realize it's among the most discussed films on Youtube, and so I had shelved this project until I knew for certain I had something interesting to say about it. A while back, I finally found what I believe to be a fresh angle, and a relevant take on this now 20 year old film; I'm going to be focusing on the 'space monkeys' and explore the ironic phenomenon of being drawn towards a self-actualized and independent individual like Tyler Durden, only to become a blind follower. It's a phenomenon about which author Ernest Becker once wondered; "how can a mature man be so fascinated, and why?" and that is exactly what I'm going to try to answer.
