looking into a mirror. Emasculation Fight Club presents the argument that men in today’s society have been reduced to a generation that does nothing itself‚ but has become anesthetized with watching others do something instead.

I have seen the breakfast club three times before taking this class and then saw it for a fourth time during class and I must say that it is defiantly one of my favourite movies. Before this class‚ I loved it because it was a fun movie depicting teenage school life in its simplest form and it was more or less something I could relate to.
