FROM BOOK:
I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas handing on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?"
Why did I cause so much pain?
Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness?
Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love?
I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong.
We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.
And God says, "No, that's not right."
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.
Tyler gets me a job as a waiter, after that Tyler's pushing a gun in my mouth and saying, the first step to eternal life is you have to die. For a long time though, Tyler and I were best friends. People are always asking, did I know about Tyler Durden.
"This isn't really death," Tyler says. "We'll be legend. We won't grow old."
I tongue the barrel into my cheek and say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.
It's so quiet this high up, the feeling you get is that you're one of those space monkeys. You do the little job you're trained to do. Pull a lever. Push a button. You don't understand any of it, and then you just die.
We have sort of a triangle thing going here. I want Tyler. Tyler wants Marla. Marla wants me. I don't want Marla, and Tyler doesn't want me around, not anymore. This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership. Without Marla, Tyler would have nothing.
Never in my life has a movie touched me so. The only other movie that comes close it American Beauty... But I've come to realise that it doesn't hold a candle up to Fight Club.
I know this site isn't much, nore the best out there... I'm mearly doing my part to honor something I hold dear... This movie has changed lives, I've seen it. It has changed mine emincely, and it has touched my friends. It has become a part of me and a way of life. After watching it, I literaly threw away half of my clothing... realising I didn't *need* it. It felt good... Throwing things away has become a habit for me now... I feel relieved to loose one more thing that does hold me down. For every item you "own", it owns you, for what do you do? You protect it as if it actually means something. It doesn't you know it doesn't, so in the owrds of Tyler "Let go." I realise that no one gets the same thing out of this movie. It affects everyone differently. I can't even know for sure the ways it has changed me. There are many, and I'm sure, things I haven't even noticed.
I cry when I watch the movie. It is beautiful and meaningful. Anyone who can't say that the movie was astounding either hasn't seen it or is numb and ignorant. This is the reson this site exists... and it is the reason it is a clique, to get the word around. The "Fight Club Gosple" if you will. Tell people to see this move. It may save an existance, and create a real life.

We don't have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression.
