Everytime I see fight club, Its like a new movie

“Having nothing doesn’t mean you own nothing. It means nothing owns you.”

Fight Club plays with some of my deepest anxieties and I've always felt that hitting rock bottom is just the push i need to REALLY start living. For example, if i just ruin my whole face up with permanent scratches, i can finally stop caring about my looks. If i throw away my most valued possessions, i can finally stop being attached to these material things. This is precisely the feeling Fight Club reminds me of. The beauty of rock bottom

I was in rock bottom all of 2023, the good thing about being at rock bottom is that the only way out is up.

We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.

You actually helped me. I’m having a hard time and you actually helped me

Listening to someone speaking without any annoying music underneath, so nice and peaceful.

When you want nothing you have everything

There is beauty in a beautiful home, in a beautiful location you like and have chosen, in work you enjoy, in time off vacationing with family and friends to new places, on beaches, in mountains, at sea, in cities, exploring new cultures, people and food... and the list goes on. That is so much more beautiful than sitting somewhere meditating on not wanting anything (probably because you are scared of failing) and failing to do so!

A man is never as dangerous when he has nothing left to lose. Believe me, I'm close to that moment, right now.

If you look at the life of Buddha, before enlightenment, he used extreme asceticism to hit rock bottom. The story goes, he ate a single grain of rice until he could touch his spine through his stomach, rid himself of all worldly possessions and comforts. Then he had a revelation under the Bodhi Tree when he realized this wasn't the way to become enlightened, so he adopted the middle-way. This is similar to Jack killing Tyler with a bullet to the head, rejecting Tyler's extreme pursuit of rock bottom. Interestingly, it was his love for Marla Singer that made him first rebel against Tyler. So in essence, Fight Club is a hopeful love story that love is more redemptive than ruthless nihilism. Although such a simplistic message would discount the felt human experience Jack/Tyler had in bonding & fighting other men, building community, jamming culture with the acts of Project Mayhem, and discovering that he could control the power of Tyler once he integrated his shadow. To anyone who says "Fight Club is about nothing" or has a "juvenile message", they're simply stupid. It's deeply philosophical if you know anything about Jung, Nietzsche or Siddhartha. The goal isn't to be like Tyler. The goal is to find the middle path of Tyler's philosophy

As a massive fight club ideology devotee and applying the basics in life. I am at rock bottom too, a perfectly narrated video man! Kudos to you!

Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It is an inherent theme in the hero's journey. Something always needs to die for something else to be reborn. Rock bottom is experienced by the narrator at the very end of the movie when he shoots himself. It's the same with Stark in Endgame, with Rose at the end of Titanic, with the destruction of the grid at the end of Tron, with the destruction of Asgaard at the end of ragnarok.

I traveled the world, living out of a backpack for 2 stright years. I started with tittle money and planed on a year. The point, I learned to live on little. Im one of the few people I know that at least acknowledged desier and does a fair job of controlling it. Moves like fight club and books like Waldens pond have done a lot for me.

It's easier to avoid a toxic relationship than it is to get out of one- to have everything taken from me- would make it easier to start over

This was the clearest explaination of the word rockbottom used in fight club...nice job bro keep it up

Damn what incredible quality, I was really surprised to see you didnt have thousands of views on this

I was low . Lowest I've ever felt. No medication either. I started seeing lights. Constant de ja vu. I felt sad but understand the beauty in it. I've often tried to experience again but not found it yet

I have been homeless 3 times and everytime i felt better than when I wasn’t homeless. So much so that the 3th time i made myself homeless.

Rock bottom is definitely a subjective experience and doesn't require the degree of extremism some movies and media portray. I emotionally had hit my rock bottom years back despite having everything else I could need in life, and through that emotional and mental low I was able to find myself on the path of self improvement. Don't stay at rock bottom, use it as the pivot point towards the right direction but never force yourself to remain in that dark spot

I wonder if I'm hitting rock bottom yet? I can afford to rent an apartment but I'm looking at the mountains and looking to live in my car in the mountains. The thought itself scares me but... I'm still thinking it's good to try.

Nowadays smartphone and laptops own you already.

Yeah... I feel this. I dont wanna go deep into anything, but this is true af to me.

Very good analysis ❤

One of the most underrated channels ever.... Much love mn❤🔥these fight club videos are epic.... Keep doing this forever if possible....👊... Your insights are spot on....

The fun fact is we all broke the first 2 rules of the Fight Club 😅

Mark my words : This channel will blow up like Tylers apartment !!

Love this, instant subscribe my gosh.

I watch this video with a smirk on my face, because while we discuss how Tyler's professed insights can help us to live Christ centred lives [and I agree with you], Tyler lives a double life, where he constantly evades his responsibilities. He says that we can be free, but he spends so much time telling other people what to do. Why is he so concerned with us, when he can be free on his own? I think that it is due to his principles being used in a toxic way, which alienates him from others, assuming that he really existed in that story. He frees himself from worldly things, but what does he do with debt? He "tells" other people to release him of his debt, when he destroys the records. There is no consent in his free world. He is free, but he sends in others to destroy the buildings and orders others to tend the garden. He severs ties with those, who demand that he fulfill his responsibilities...yet ties are okay, when he gives orders. This film just gets better and better.

Best summary ive ever heard. Read the book and watched the movie more than a few times and couldnt figure out what message was. Thanks.

your storytelling is so enlightening sir. we are thankful for the efforts you put in to make bizarre breakdowns happen. keep going, keep improving, you're one step closer to the top. thank you! 😄

Fight club is my favorite movie ❤ hands down !

The algorithm have blessed you my friend

Yes, rock bottom is freedom. You have nothing to lose

Wow, that was a great video, I`m surprised it only has 257 views

Great video, well made

If there is not community, do it yourself. Man up . Follow your purpose, not girls or materialism. The right people will come your way.

Well done

Proper explanation thats what iam looking for ,

I am currently going through my rock bottom.. After years of struggling in silence, while professionally and personally uplifting people.. I just cracked. For years, I struggled with anxiety, depression, isolation, and even bits of paranoia and fear... Only a couple of months ago I hit a breaking point (in retrospect it was clear it was coming, months leading up to that I was suffering through mini breakdowns). That night, I lashed out against my only friend. I threatened them, said terrible things to them, and then damaged their vehicle in a fit of rage. I immediately regretted my action, told them to call the police on me.. etc I ended up arrested, and in some legal and financial trouble. Now? I am at the lowest point in my life. I feel such intense shame, guilt, regret, humiliation..... Yet, it helped me see my life was going in an endless cycle of downward spirals. Perhaps, in a way now I am free. IT IS DIFFICULT.. I am closer to calling it quits than ever, but I know if I can survive this.. in a years time I will be stronger than ever. I will regain my honor, and find my redemption.

i love your vids please make one about whiplash

Its only after we've lost everything.. we're free to do anything

Depends.

I see fight club as a group of brothers who care about each other, but they do that in a way where they are hard on each other in order to save them. They are hard on each other to show there is a strong man in there. Is this realistic in the real world? Not always, but it is satire. However, it still points to many useful truths.

We all want this.

Nice video

Destroying ego

If Apple, John Deere, and every other company has their way... You will own nothing and be happy Support the right to repair movement

In Tyler we trust.

Id be fine without it as long u dont touch my drum set lol step brothers reference also would they be taking the clothes im wearing too? Cause that would be so peak

I feel like that kind of lifestyle is only for people who are alone.it would bw hard to live as free as that if you have someone like children you need to support

Its sad how alone so many are in an age where we have so much. Technology has actually divided us and modern politcs has too in many ways especially in how you point out many rely on the government. It is sad how many women you find who are single are married to politics and the government. Sure there are bad dudes who push them that way, but they should be wise enough to know with patience they can find a good man. There is good out there. We just have to patiently look for it. There is such a lack of community these days. Not to say it use to be perfect in the old days, but its worse now.

Honestly, there's truly no beauty in it. If one could choose, they wouldn't choose to hit rock bottom, I'm sure. Yes there are lessons learned, or new skills acquired, like eating food you might not have eaten before because it's the only one you could afford or get from a food bank for instance, but other than that, there's no beauty in misery. And let's stop romanticizing poverty, or misery, because it's the true hell on earth being in rock bottom. Trust me.

PLEASE READ, I NEED HELP. I really want to adopt this, I know this is fiction, but I really want to adopt this philosophy; but how am I gonna lost everything on purpose just to follow this philosophy?, reminds me to something jesus says “left everything you own and serve me”, it’s simple at all, but should I take it literally or just as a metaphor?, and if this is a metaphor I don’t understand it

You should do Johnny silverhand.

His name is Robert Paulson

We all know that we are very very pissed off.

I'm currently in rock bottom

Ok everyone is always talking about rock bottom and taylor himself says “it’s only after we lose everything that we are free to become whatever we want” BUT nobody really talks about where or how you go after rock bottom and nobody talks about hitting rock bottom multiple times over extended amount of time like what Fiona Apple says “You get dragged down to the bottom so many times that it just seems like that's the safest place to be” maybe our whole life is supposed to be rock bottom after rock bottom that there’s no REAL rock bottom you know? I hope someone gets me

My life has been built (pun intended) on this philosophy. Im free! Rock bottom doesn't mean "as bad as it can possibly get" to me. It means i own myself! I'm not held down by what society thinks i should be or the grip social media has on people. Each day is liven like it could be my last. My eyes are open.

LOSE EVRYTHING AND LET GO

I recently hit bottom, but it's not my bottom. It's my top. Tyler may have had some points.

So what you're saying is... own nothing and you'll be happy

why does tyler pee in food? why didnt he received the narrators call? why does tyler make people watch explicit scenes while the film is going?

you got it all wrong. read nietzsche. fear of alone, dark? will to community? oh my god..thats the opposite of films whole point to be a free INDIVIDUAL, not another sheep in sheep community,family,friends,bonds..all weak people need/crave others to survive bcs they are weak like jack in films start. lOve,coMpaSsiOn,coMmunity.. all for women or those emasculated men.. fight club is a club that seeks to create free strong independed unattached individuals, not another sheep-mass society.....everyone interprets fight club from its own perspective/character but just.. presented interpretation is more like opposite of independent ubermench, individual above weak mass.. so many weak non nietzscheian interrpetations of fc.. sad

I need a Playstation 5. 😬

I love this AI-script

Rock bottom is beautiful....

Hit bottom and spend the rest of your life impressing yourself 😳
