Gray-Collar Workers
This film will be more enjoyable for those who see it first and then read this analysis because, like The Sixth Sense or The Crying Game, Fight Club has a secret, which this discussion will reveal.
As does Natural Born Killers (www.geomatics.kth.se/sjoberg/homepage/nbk.htm), this film addresses morality and society by using the motif of violence. But like that film, it is not primarily about violence any more than Dog Day Afternoon is about bank robbery. Nonetheless, Fight Club (www.foxmovies.com/fightclub/) will inspire wringing of hands as critics and commentators call it a mirror held up to an empty and tormented contemporary consciousness.

They have not even the solace of big muscles and the solidarity of unions from which to construct their identities and with which to salve their bruised egos. And as a character says in the film, they lack a great cause, like a war or depression, in which to test themselves.

Call him Jack. After suffering from insomnia for sixth months and developing a dependence on a comically wide array of support groups (testicular cancer, brain...
