    Honestly, the most fucked up part of the movie is all the young men watching who think Tyler is a hero and a role model.

    Great movie. A little fucked up. Wanting to be Tyler Durden is more fucked up than the movie.

      It’s up there with Starship Troopers for “movies you didn’t realize were meant to be negative commentary when you were a teenager”.

        The movie might have been a satirical commentary against militarism but the book it’s based off of is arguably not. I loved that book as a kid but it definitely glorifies militarism and not really in a tongue in cheek way. There are literal scenes discussing civics and the necessity of war interspersed throughout the book.
