At first , in “Fight Club” narrator starts to describe his life. He works for the unnamed car company as a product recall specialist.

One of the worst problem he had was the insomnia , when he went to the doctor for treatment doctor advises him to attend the support group meetings to "see what real suffering was like".

His mind was cuffed onto the desperation of consumerism. A man in David Fincher 's film, Fight Club, has fallen into the world of materials and perfection. As he became a slave of common franchises around him, the narrator strived to get it all. However, no matter how many things he bought, never had he achieved the definition of satisfaction. People rely on profit and possessions to be happy, but does it really help? Fight Club carries philosophical messages about money and materialism to the capitalist society in order to wake up and realize that those objects are not the key to happiness.

In this film “It’s All About Me”, they talk about how the generations over time have changed dramatically. The generation before X, Y, and Z, the baby boomers, were people who worked before anything else in life. They were extremely hard working and respected their parents, elders, and authorities. Even though this generation grew up in a normal household with parents that interacted with their daily lives, as time went on, things began to change. Individuals became more carefree and self-centered. They did not worry about much and they slowly started only thinking about themselves. Generation X was all about “me”. They wanted to know what would benefit them and only them. Gen X most likely grew up with divorced parents and/or their parents

Who is apart of this “Generation X” group? Typically, people who were born in the years of 1965-1980. People who were born in those times had a hard life. They grew up during the Aids breakout, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Watergate and the end of the Cold War. This lead to them being Suspicious and cynical. People of this generation usually don’t trust too many people.

Throughout the novel, we see this problem occurring with the different situations and characters. The main character in the Fight Club is a man, named Jack, who suffered a lot in his life, such as lacking of a father figure, having a boring job, ineffective interaction with others, and nothing he wants to pursuit for. These struggles make the narrator suffers insomnia and unconsciously create an alternate life.

What defines a macho man? In the 1999 film, Fight Club, director David Fincher gives us a glimpse into the world of manhood. A man, known to viewers as the Narrator (Edward Norton) is an insomniac who seeks tranquility in support group. That is, until he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) who introduces him to a new way of finding peace: fighting.

The plague of our materialistic society is a direct result of mankind seeking satisfaction and happiness through the addiction to obtaining objects of our outward desires. Our society has been relentlessly exposed through the media to propaganda served by a capitalistic machine convincing us that the answer to our fulfillment and ultimate happiness can be purchased. It is a sad truth, really, but is a part of a system guided by monetary control. In Chuck Palaniuk’s multifaceted satire Fight Club, Palaniuk investigates the psychology of our money-oriented culture and how it plays a significant role in how we perceive the world around us.

During one of his business trips, he meets the mysterious Tyler Durden. When the narrator arrives, he finds that his condominium erupted. He asks Durden to stay at his house and he agrees under strange condition "To hit him as hard as he can" (46). Durden and the narrator create Fight Club in order to break down the American capitalism. As the time goes by, lots of members join fight club. Fight Club now is the official sponsorship of American male. Finally, Durden make the best use of fight's clubs members by forming Project Mayhem. It’s like an army to bring down civilization. The narrator tries to stop Tyler, but he discovers that Tyler isn't a separate person, he is a separate character. The narrator's mental state was in its worst cases,

Consumerism Eliminates Power Those who are subjugates of consumerism have become entirely engrossed by the thought of defining oneself through the acquisition of material items. Fight Club, an anti-consumerist film exemplifies this through the use of explosive scenes and demonstrates how indulging in consumerism brings about tremendous misery to the lives of many. Throughout the film the narrator, Jack, is the prime example of a consumerist, and the film repeatedly reminds its audience how consumerism only brings momentary satisfaction. Tyler Durden, a relatively new acquaintance of Jack imposes his anti-consumerism ideology upon Jack, and ultimately Jack removes consumerism from his life and no longer measures his value and meaning upon his

David Fincher’s 1999 film Fight club raised many questions, both within itself and about the world that it critiques. On the surface, Fight Club pushes a very simple, predictable rejection of consumer culture and societal norms, while extolling the value of masculine power. However, as the viewer becomes immersed in the surreal nature of the film, deeper and more layered criticisms of American values are steadily revealed and examined. By nature, modern society needs introspection and self awareness in order to properly function and progress. Artistic creations like Fight Club exist to pose important questions about the value systems of society and its members, thus encouraging complex reflection and progressive thought.

In the movie Clerks directed by Kevin Smith is about two convenience store clerks and their typical day at work. The two clerks, Dante and Randal work side by side one in the quick stop market and the other in the next door movie store. The movie's plot is structured around Dante and Randal day at work and it depicts different situations that occur on a particular day.

At first glance, Chuck Palahniuk’s award-winning novel Fight Club gives the impression that it is a simple story revolving around a man who struggles to manage his insomnia. However, a deeper literary analysis will show readers that the novel is much more than that. Fight Club is actually a cleverly written novel that contains many elements of Marxist and psychoanalytic theories throughout the storyline. Marxism is based on the concepts of Karl Marx’s theories that focuses on class relations and social conflict. On the other hand, psychoanalytic criticism stems from Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychology. The novel is best interpreted from a Marxist point of view because Palahniuk uses Fight Club as a means of expressing his

Unimaginable. A group of boys who set out to escape World War II cling on for dear life so tomorrow won’t slip away. They fight to live another day in the hope of being rescued. Terrified. The group of boys develop fears that tear away at their relationships and sanity. Impossible. A group of technology ridden, social media obsessed, lazy teenagers, could never be self sufficient. Unprepared. A world where falling short is the equivalent of destruction would be a first for the technology ridden, lazy teenagers. Lost cause. Generation Z, incapable of success or prosperity. Everyone is the same and everyone is bound to disappoint. Every single person perfectly fits into societies labels and definitions of themselves. Generation

Considering those associated with Generation X, their core values, grounded in independence coupled with stability, allowed society to develop a structure through which individuals could function. Prior to beginning to perceive the values of the generation themselves, one must first observe their manifestation given the context of the time period. In observing the socioeconomic situation of the time, “an era of two-income families, rising divorce rates, and a faltering economy” (Kane), one notices the breeding ground for their individualistic ideals and consequently their core ideologies grounded in tangible success rather than true fulfillment. The necessity to adapt to the home situation often containing two working parents, often divorced, inevitably allowed those in Generation X to develop a sense of independence a more importantly, perceive the need for it, from a young age. Given this sense of stoicism that was allowed to develop through this, one can see the generation’s almost impervious nature to the psychological implications of social jealousy. Due to their individualism and distaste for social ingratiation, the generation established an underlying pragmatic nature in the society of their time. In addition to this, Generation Xers grew up in an age of incessant political turmoil. Take for example, “the Cold War,
