“You met me at a strange time in my life.” These are the closing words to David Fincher’s Fight Club. Released in 1999 by Fox Studios‚ it stars Edward Norton‚ Brad Pitt‚ and Helena Bonham Carter. The film is a contemporary art piece that speaks the language of the modern emasculatedmacho man. It contains considerable amounts of violence that some would call gratuitous or senseless‚ but is in fact an attempt to speak metaphorically towards a deeper meaning.

The movie Fight Club made a great achievement in the film industry‚ and significantly depicted the social system of the late 20th century. According to most of the reviewers‚ the success of the film lies behind the fact that almost every American man over 25-years of age is going to inevitably see some of himself in the movie: the frustration‚ the confusion‚ the anger at living in a culture where the old rules have broken down and one makes his way with so many fewer cultural cues and guideposts

Terminal Lance First To Fight First To Fight is a book written by Lt. General Victor “Brute” Krulak. USMC (Ret.). He wrote the book as a means of expressing how and also why the Marine Corps has such an interesting reputation amongst the American populace.

Fighting can be for a reason or it can be just because someone is so stupid they would rather fight than resolve the problem. I remember my first fight like it was just yesterday. I was in grade school‚ 5th grade to be exact. I was walking to the gym. It was a very hot timid day. The sun was beaming down real heavy. You could possibly have had a heat stroke. As I was walking down the sidewalk reading my library book‚ I accidentally bumped into this girl. I apologized but I guess that wasn’t good

The Psychology of Fight Club The movie Fight Club features a story that‚ on the surface‚ appears to be about an underground boxing club‚ but goes much deeper. It focuses around one man‚ the Narrator‚ whose name is never revealed. The Narrator‚ like everyone else in the world‚ is looking for fulfillment in life‚ but tries to obtain it by odd means. His first obsession that we notice seems ordinary and quite common: his IKEA furniture collections. It then starts to get a little bit more unusual when
