The other day after watching Fight Club in the background (while painting). It occurred to me to me that my entire life so far can largely be summarized allegorically by the movie Fight Club.
No, none of that really happened, but it could have and it would FEEL exactly the same. Everythings bigger and more explosive, but spirit of the story is dead on. The 'flavor' is perfect and it's entirely like having a long flashback episode while watching the flick. All the 'morals' are there. Every single lesson. All the violence, and despair, plus the real feeling of losing your mind, but finding yourself anyway. Being both 'awake' but also 'crazy'... It's like someone heard about my life and was inspired to write a story about me. Except the writer seems to have a flair for the dramatic, and also seems to be a bit smarter than me. >.<
No wonder I was drawn to the movie when I first saw it. Tyler's some kind of evil buddhist.
What I'm saying is that I think I need to watch fight club again. This time I should pay attention, and just be sure to NOT do what Narrator does. Dude was kind of a dumb ass. ^_^
