Project Mayhem

strong message in the book and in the movie, these lines prove my point. “You are not how much money you have in the bank. You aren I found out that in the classroom. This is the most radical book I have read in my years in the university.

This book has some current issues that are affecting our today’s way of life. Like consumerism, the molding of person to be in the desired shape for society, and the recent issue of demascunization (I think I just invented this word) of the man, women removing male characteristics and turned men more feminine.

As for the movie Fincher did a great job transmitting the text into a movie. I guess was a hard work to transcribe a non linear text and plot to a movie that result successful in that matter. The book and the movie really left me thinking amazed with the thoughts the book- they are in the movie too, but in a book you can reflex more on what you have read in the movie people tend to focus more on the visual more that what it is spoken- and the movie for the sequence and the stile of the movie. A not ordinary book deserves a not ordinary movie.

I really identify with this movie because I am in my own war against the establishments of society. We didn’t have the fight club, but every day after school we were wrestling with a bunch of friends; with steel chairs, ladders, jumping of the roof to a stack of old mattress that was our ring it was back yard brawling.

To what Project Mayhem concerns, almost the same friends of the wrestling most of us play in bands and we travel around the island to the gigs on the road, drunk, we start vandalizing (breaking car glasses, throwing the garbage can to the streets and the thrash back inside the house, ect.), stealing the equipment from other bands getting wasted, fighting with other people. I don’t like to be like the most macho man in the world is just, we want fun. Some irrational fun like my friends from the classroom would say I don’t agree with them because they are one with the flow and few others like to be against the flow no matter the consequences. Normal people don’t rise above they stay in mediocrity and yes I have a little of Maquiavelo’s way of thinking. Maybe all people are right and I’m not, that is the way I am. This is a very strong message in the book and in the movie, these lines prove my point. “You are not how much money you have in the bank. You are not your job. You are not the car you drive or the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis! You are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.” HELL YEAH!!!. These Words with light. Said by Mister Tyler Durden himself the other personality of the average men sick of monotony and sick being own by our own things this person, the main character, is the nameless average working guy; with no life and no death in a perpetual insomnia until some Tyler take over control of the life.
