This is one of those movies - that like Donnie Darko - EVERYONE must see. There's so much more to it then meets the eye, and every time you watch it you will catch onto something and notice something that you didn't notice before. It's one of those movies that always keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing, even after you've figured out what's going on.
And I must recommend that if you like the movie to read the book - because like most book adaptions the movie doesn't touch on half the awesomeness of the book *nods*
Tyler Durden is just one of my many 'fictional' role models. For the longest time I used to quote this movie/book - I still do it every once in awhile just to see if anyone catches on
"
Only after disaster can we be resurrected."
"
Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?"
"
Tell him the liberator who destroyed my property has realigned my perception."
"
Hey, you created me. I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!"
"
First you have to give up, first you have to *know*... not fear... *know*... that someday you're gonna die."
"
Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows."
"
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
"
You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
"
Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen."
"
Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler."
And my FAVORITE line from the movie:
"
Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."
Well you can say that I'm a pretty big fan of this movies - it's just one of many that I can watch just about any time *nods*
