Fight Club has always had a huge presence through out my life, so I made a video talking of what I take away from it now it is more relevant than ever. If you love this movie too, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

My video is in no way a substitute to experiencing the original source material. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I want to break the world record for the video with the most "He broke the first rule" comments 👊
I'm aware that the music is a bit louder than I intended, but you should still be able to hear my voice clearly, and if not, it may be the equipment you use. On my phone, TV and desktop speakers I can hear every word clearly, I wouldn't upload the video if not 👍
I saw the spelling mistake
it has been fixed lol

“Finally some good f*cking food” = my general impression of finding this channel - thank you for sharing these well written video essays.
Hi there. Love your videos. This one too. I find your insights very enlightening. I look forward to the next.
The algorithm exposed me to this channel and it's a good one
God, I cannot put into words how bloody refreshing this video essay was. Thank you so much for sharing this.

You are a super smart person, and you have a gift for explanation. This is one of my favorite movies but I didn't understand it deeply enough until you enlightened me. Thank you!
You can look up any number of interpretations of movies, books etc, and theyre all effectively meaningless and subjective, people with too much time on their hands look for metaphors and hidden meaning that most of the time dont exist or werent intentional by the creator. Its a classic human thing, if you look for something, you will find it whether its there or not. I personally take movies at face value and as a brief escape from reality, although its rare these days I find something remotely worth watching, 2019 was probably the last decent year with Knives Out, Joker and Parasite.

A very insightful point about the value of aesthetics and our inate ability to see past it, deeply influencing our perceptions of individuals and the standards we passively set as a society.
Your Videos are great. Right now im also going through a stage where i can relate to the characters from both fight Club and Taxi driver. Im 20 starting my way into worklife and now i live apart from home with other people my age. Although im a confident Person with alot of friends i often feel alone since i cant be with these friends apart from the weekends. Although i have few girls friends and im not shy I have to control myself not to obsess over and annoy girls that i like when i decide they would be worth the time and effort since i dont have an outlet for my romantic feelings. Im in therapy and doing good but the New stage in my life also brought new Problems and your channel is rly talking to ppl in a similar situation
I have been like this too throughout my recent years, it's normal. Much better to acknowledge it and work through it than use it as fuel for some hate for the world like many do
@@MansplainingMovies its been going for long now but its always paid off to not stop and search for easy fixes instead

absolutely fantastic video here brother. love it
Really great, enjoyed This and the Taxi Driver one, keep it up
Your video on Taxi Driver was a very well written piece and made me subscribe. Watching this video now has me hopeful and optimistic for your growth.
Really great video, its good to be aware commercialisation has on your subconscious. Just nice to think about that one
This isn’t anarchism, it’s chaos. Anarchy means no rulers not no rules. Now, one could say that anarchism will bring about chaos (that having no “rule”makers (rulers) would bring about chaos, but that’s only because of humanity’s inability or absolute refusal to see what’s right (by not doing to others that which you would not have done to you) and always make the right choices… (by respecting RIGHTS… respecting RIGHTS is the RIGHT thing to do because a right is an action that does not create a victim, but I digress lol) but the etymology of the word anarchy actually means no rulers.
Yes, I feel the intent of the character's chaos definitely came from a more anarchic way of living though. Life under project mayhem you can say only had about 10 rules where you can say life in a real society has an endless amount of rules to abide by
Love your channel, this is my favorite one yet
Bro you've been on point with all these videos
You are incredible mate
I’m so glad i found this channel
This channel deserves more than a million subs!
Discovered you thanks to the 'ol algorithm - lucky me! Just finished this and your Taxi Driver vids. Love your analyses, man! Keep 'em coming! easy sub
2 hours before this video was uploaded I was looking at your uploads to see if you covered this movie yet lol
i was meaning to make this video for a while but i had a busy month since my last upload
I absolutely love this video and your channel. Your Taxi Driver video was a big inspiration for my most popular video and your overall essay style has greatly influenced the way I analyse and write for my videos. Thank you so much for the content you post on this channel, and I'd love to possibly colab with you on a future project if you're interested. Have a wonderful day and never break the first rule again 🤣
Thank you! I had a look at your channel. The thumbnails are great! I'm a huge Arkham fan, Arkham City is a top 5 favourite game of mine. I will do a video 1 day talking about the missed potential of Batman movies, I love Batman and the movies are good but I always felt the true potential of Batman in the past 20 years has only been reached with the Arkham games
Keep it up bro
Great video btw Having fun in a cheap car drifting with your buddies isn’t a great source.
Thanks for the video, it’s extremely relevant for me as it too was one of those films that shaped me teenage years without fully understanding it yet knowing there was more to it than the at the time fun fight scenes.
I’m a lonely guy that used to have so many friends or was popular in high school just because of the fact that I had material things and was considered attractive to the local culture.
I try my best to understand that life is life but finding that goal to work for is what I’m seeing as impossible or a mistake. I feel like it’s normal to want to be a part of something obviously we used to be in tribes of like 8-50 always but finding a healthy group to be a part of is key, one that doesn’t just want to milk you for your resources or unite you to hate.
Please make video like this from American beauty. I love your content❤
Brilliant
Great video and summary. A little question: Any chance you know about Stoicism? YOur talk about responding to the world and you are in control how you respond to that world is very stoic. And I just noticed it since I'm a stoic practitioner as well ^_^
I'm aware of it but not particularly a practitioner. With movies I talk about like Fight Club and Taxi Driver I feel it's very common for people in the fanbase to use these movies to validate their insecurities and their negative outlook on life, and I do think stoic ideas should be encouraged to counteract that. Masculinity and stoicism for so long have gone hand in hand yet I feel men today have become very weak minded, so many whining over little things and get offended over meaningless words. When talking of these movies I feel it necessary to relate things to the fandom and I'd like to direct these kind of fans to an alternate mindset which you can say is a very stoic mindset
Another great video. On a small note, I feel the background music could have been a little quieter at parts in relation to your voice.
Otherwise, great work; as long as you're consistent, I could see this channel blowing up.
You're pretty cool. Another one well done.
I wish I could articulate how much I enjoy your videos. I hope you continue to grow your channel and keep making content.
Check out the book “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging”. It’s a short read but I sincerely believe you would enjoy it.
wish i saw this on a Friday
Great comment I agree
You are very so young
Keep it on :)
This is wild

turn down the volume of the song man, i paused the video and was about to stop the music playing on other tab in order to hear something before i realized that it was actually the video itself
I can't do anything about it now unfortunately, on my headphones and speakers it sounds fine, different sound systems and settings play it differently though
@@MansplainingMovies i actually just meant for the future videos
Put some ambient music perhaps. A 30 min garage band loop is brutal
Please make a video on the professional 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't think the getting beat up by the boss plan actually worked. I think he just got fired.
I only watched this movie once, the same day I watched Blow for the first and only time. I took way too many edibles and the only thing I remember from either movie is from blow where Depp's character is in the motel and the guy said "I stole your California connection."
It's depressing to see the world go downhill from other people and interconnectivity like you said in your video.

Hello man, I think the music's a bit too loud. But cool ass vid !
Man how do you capture footage for your videos?
I am jacks colon
you gotta lower the Backround music dude
JEW MERIKA
Please lower the background music. I can barely hear you at times.
I made a mistake on the audio. It can be dependent on what you use to listen, I'd reccomend headphones. On my speakers and headphones it sounds fine

Throughout this video, are you suggesting that Marla is also a figment of the narrator's imagination? The way you talk about her in your analysis srrms to suggest thats where youre going with it.
I don't think she is. Her character is much more grounded in reality. Thematically speaking she is representative of a different side of the narrator just like Tyler though, this just comes with good writing, to have conflict you need a back and forth, a protagonist should have 2 sides to choose from in some way, with Fight Club it is the narrator choosing Tyler or Marla just like how in Star Wars Luke Skywalker has a choice between the light side and the dark side, his friends or his father (Darth Vader). Fight Club is just less obvious about it, but it is something many movies do
