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 #cowboy posts
