they only made two movies for men. SAD. oh well
#i accidentally clicked on a video from the joe rogan experience.
#i legitimately do want to know how soooo many men walked away from fight club with such a terrible misunderstanding of it
#theres literally so much more to it than the ten or so minutes of brad pitt monologuing about individuality and consumerism and identity.
#LOL!
#something can def be said about both fc & dps on white men + the inherent homoeroticism of movies centering them + the exploration of
#masculinity & expectations and how theyre dealt with in pretty different communities (upper class teens in the 50s at a private school v
#working class men in the 90s in the city) the similarities + differences btwn how their world perspectives were shaped by being upper/lower
#class Cis White Men
#**ok i doubt every single guy in fight club is white but still. the leads are + theyre all men
#blah blah stuff they as men are told about power & the kind of treatment + lives they deserve
#not to mention the fact both stories are abt men finding an outlet via a super secret boys only club
#but in one they lean more into femininity(?)/the arts while in the other they lean into masculinity(?)/violence LOL
#healthy/nonhealthy means of expression respectively. what is the cause and effect of each of them what led them to that point blah blah
#also lastly something worth mentioning -- the role WOMEN play in their stories. oft only as mothers or romantic/sexual appeal
#LASTLY lastly the fact both movies end in a similar but opposite way - the leader of fight club wants to STOP all the chaos hes brought so
#he shoots himself - but that doesnt stop everything. v the leader of the dead poets society is threatened w military school -
#masculinization - when its discovered hes been exploring the arts so he also shoots himself and the dps is shut down by external forces .
#HM
#did not mean to write a whole essay in the notes but alright
#im not gonna proof read it send post
#fight club
#dead poets society
