It's not about the violence. It's about feeling alive. He can't sleep but he's sleepwalking through life never feeling alive. He was a slave of his possessions and society's idea of a good life. He mentally invented Tyler because in him he could experience freedom. The fighting as he said wasn't about winning or losing. But to feel alive and let go of the frustrations we live with. To get rid of the anger of the pointlessness in being.

Great breakdown. I think the reason it was so popular is because a lot of people feel like this. I know I did as a young adult. Having kids seems to have shifted my focus a bit, but the rampant pointless consumerism of late stage capitalism is not a pretty sight. In the end everything comes down to perspective. What is totally crazy to some people is just another Tuesday to others. What is a totally pointless existence to some people is a wonderful, entertaining life to others. Tyler was just his brain's way of shifting perspective.

Re: the male testosterone fighting thing: There is something liberating about being in a fight. Once you get hit hard a few times, you realize that the pain and the fear of pain aren't anywhere near the level that your psyche makes the conscious mind believe. Your heart is racing. Dopamine levels are spiking, as the natural pain killers are not only reducing the physical pain but are essentially getting you stoned. There is a sense of release of anxiety.

There is also the Gex X's identity crisis of masculinity. After second wave feminism, the concept of femininity had been redifined to include many things that were previously thought of as "non-feminine". While the concept of masculinity was challenged as well, no alternative was offered in its place (and some areas still haven't been successfully redefined), so many men were feeling lost: "I'm a 30 year old boy." Doing something so primal as to fight each other and exert their strength upon one another (following Nietzsche's Will to Power) reminded them what being a man feels like. This is echoed by the men with testicular cancer early in the movie, who kept chanting "we are men".

24:47 people actually survive gunshot wounds like this somewhat frequently and it's always in the act of a botched suicide attempt. I work in the ER and I used to work on ambulances. I've personally seen two of these, both times their lower jaw was blown off. Several were in our textbooks in paramedic school, so I was prepared to see it before seeing a real life patient who had done this to themselves. Shock sets in fairly quickly so both patients were very calm, almost in a dazed state and fully conscious. It's very surreal.

To explain how fighting is therapeutic to some: Its a release of frustration for many people, and that release far outweighs the soreness and bruises. I had a friend like this, who during a couple tough times for him, I agreed to spar him. (mostly because I thought he might kill his roommate if he didn't let out his frustration, but that's a long story) I'm not a violent guy but even I found the release of frustration by hitting someone (even a friend) a bit cathartic. Now, I think there are definitely better ways to achieve catharsis, but it does work for many people. Its not logical. You're not solving anything. But that's not the point. You also questioned why people would go along and join the crazy cult Tyler was building. Its actually quite brilliant the things Tyler says to manipulate them. He identifies problems such as materialism and lack of purpose, which these people feel. He draws them in by identifying their problems. He makes them feel part of a group. He joins them together as comrades in the same struggle. Then he gives them solutions. Want purpose by fighting materialism? Well then go blow this up! His logic might not be perfect. In fact in many ways it is very flawed. But by then it doesn't matter. They're already sucked in. You might think this is a little extreme. Go compare Tyler's monologues with the speeches of politicians. Some of the similarities are scary. In truth, Tyler is just a top tier politician.

I'm not sure that the comparison of Tyler and a politician is entirely correct. Politicians lie about pretty much everything, whereas I get the impression that Tyler believes in what he's saying and doing 100%. I don't know if you could even call what Tyler does manipulation as he doesn't seem to be trying to convince people, he's just spouting off all the things that he believes and a certain type of person is going to respond to those beliefs. He even does most of the things he gets the space monkeys to do, and I think the things he doesn't do you can chalk up more to the fact that a movie can only show so much rather than any unwillingness on Tyler's part. I'd say Tyler is much more like the leader of a religious cult that truly believes the cult doctrine. That's what makes him such a fascinating and dangerous character.

You also failed at rule number 2, but we'll forgive that. As for the catharsis of fighting...it can be a lot of fun as long as you and your opponent know and respect your limits. The titular club in this just took it to the extreme. Sparring was probably my favorite part of martial arts. It gets the adrenaline going, you get in this zone where the sense of self disappears and your body just reacts, and it's a test of ability against someone studying the same skills as you are. Kobudo (weapons studies) drills were immensely fun. We'd spar with rubber knives and count the black marks on our gi to see who cut one another more. I remember a time when a visiting teacher brought practice blades (bladed weapons deliberately made dull for practice purposes) to our dojo, and I ran drills with her using dual one-handed swords, and we got into such a rhythm, that our weapons sparked when they made contact with each other. We'd read and react to each other's movements; down on one knee, both knees, moving to a standing position, moving backward and forward as if we were dancing to the sound of steel on steel. The focus, speed, and coordination we had at that point felt so good, I could've gone on for hours. Good times. Sorry for the rambling. I miss my old class sometimes.

Hi, Duaffy! So when this came out in 1999, there was a growing discontent among some Americans over the so called "American dream" during the Clinton Administration of having a good career, nice house, etc. "Fight Club" was a bold rebuffment of that ideology. "American Beauty" also reflects these ideas, but in a much less violent way. You should look at "American Beauty", too.

Yes, you get it. It is meant to make you uncomfortable. A lot of women seem to assume that because the movie is predominantly liked and considered impactful by men, that they somehow want to be part of it and find pleasure in violence. That's not true. It is a reminder of how dangerous the road becomes once the downhill slide begins and how important it is to find meaning in your life before you lose faith. Men who find fulfilment in their work and respect withing their circles do not get drawn into such things. Tyler's job however was to rate tragedies by monetary value for big companies. Can't blame him for losing it. Of Marla, I always think of her as grace from the universe, a challenge, truthful and determined to save him. His failure became her failure. That she thought of him as the worst thing that ever happened to her was actually a clear confession of love.

The ideas he's able to extrapolate from his extensive research are very creative. The actual plots are far-fetched, but that's fine. I just get annoyed by people who take the multiple-personality plot line of Fight Club seriously. This is by no means an accurate depiction of mental illness, but a plot device to explore the desire to be someone else.

I feel the same. This was a movie I idolized when younger, and in some ways it still has a lot of points I agree with, but as I aged it was interesting to see how my perspective of the characters in the movie changed as well, and how they had a part into who I am today. I can certainly empathize with feeling lost and aimless in an ultimately pointless life. I can empathize with being frustrated and angry at the world and those that try to manipulate me, and a desire to fight against it. But I'm glad we live in an age where tolerance seems to be more and more acceptable, where even if we're not all really special and unique, we also kind of are. And even if we are the same decaying matter as everyone else, the whole universe is an exercise in entropy, at least I'm a conscious observer and participant of it.

The fighting thing Duaf's.. As Mike Tyson says, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Being punched hurts, and if you have empathy punching someone else feels bad.. but there are times when it has to be done. Not in this context.. When I was a child, me and every boy in the neighborhood were obsessed with fighting. We didn't have to be taught what fighting was we just sort of knew that we wanted to fight and wrestle and prove ourselves against each other.. Usually after the first time you get beaten the crap out of you realize you don't wanna do that anymore, but some men it stays in the system.. Then there are some men that have never ever been in a fight, never felt that pain and the idea from this story is that it has awakened something in them that has fullfilled them, years of doing what everyone else has told them to do and ignoring all primal instinct and suddenly a guy comes along and unlocks that cage. The adrenaline of it all, being told that its ok to lose at least you took the step and showed up and that you aren't going to be ridiculed for doing poorly.. it is literally a cult and brain washing.

@9:27 that's a hard thing to explain to anyone lol. We grew up boxing in our backyard and fighting with neighborhood kids. Then I got into martial arts as an adult. There is no adrenaline rush I've found that equals what you get in a fight. For me it feels like time slows to a crawl, or like I can perceive things a lot quicker than usual. Which I think is just something the brain does. And win or lose, I always felt great afterwards. Except of course the cuts and bumps. That being said, when this movie came along, I could already relate to that message, but then I started getting into the other messages of the movie. Materialism, consumerism, etc. While everyone else thought they were Neo, I thought I was Tyler lol. This movie makes so much more sense when you watch a second time. The hints were there all along.

Not understanding man’s like of physical violence. Estrogen is the thing that makes women catty, moody, nurturing, emotions over logic, etc. Testosterone is different you want to express things physically. Straight to the point. If I cry, I get judged so I don’t. I got all this pent up aggression and just like a person who seeks CONSENSUAL sex. Porn ain’t gon cut it all the time. Eventually you date and hopefully get to express that sexual tension physically. Anger works the same for men. At 35, I can walk away, go exercise to do something to take my mind off of wanting to beat up someone who did me wrong. At some point, I’m going to want to punch something. To relieve the tension. I haven’t been in a fight since 18. I mainly keep myself out them situations as best as I can. I’ve been around people and come across a heavy bag and get stares as I stop to beat up the heavy bag a bit. 😂😂

At the end of the sex scene originally Marla said "I want to have your abortion". But that crossed the line for one of the producers and he wanted it replaced. David Fincher didn't want to do that and only agreed to it on the condition that whatever he replaced it with would stay in the movie. That's where the line "I haven't been ****** like that since grade school" came from. The producer then wanted the original line back but Fincher refused. A pity that one didn't end up in your edit.

It’s been theorized that the Narrator’s name is Jack from the whole “I am Jack’s” sayings Some other hints about Tyler’s true nature besides the quick flashes you noticed and thought were glitches: •There’s a promotional video on a hotel tv with a group of hotel employees saying welcome. The one in the middle is Tyler. •When Lou punches Tyler, you can see Jack lower his head as if he felt it •When Jack beats himself, he says he was reminded of his first fight with Tyler. •And when they crash and the car is flipped upside down, Tyler comes out of the passenger side and pulls Jack out of the driver side I’ve also wondered what the space monkeys (cult members) were thinking when they were in the car. They clearly heard things from both sides, they both looked at each other when Tyler said he blew up the condo. I think about this all the time. He shot himself through the cheek The author of the original book wrote two comic book sequels. Tyler comes back. In interesting ways

***SPOILER ALERT*** Fight Club is a VERY complex movie, and there are several reasons why I think many people misunderstand it, or only understand a part of it. (NOTE: To make this easier to understand, I'll call the real man "Brad Norton". I DO NOT want to go down the rabbit hole of whether his is real name is The Narrator, Joe, Jack, or Tyler Durden). FIRST: One of the conceits of the film is that the Narrator/Tyler Durden is mentally ill. While other films about mental illness do a good job of showing what mental illness looks like, Fight Club does something that most of those films fail to do: show what mental illness FEELS like. Unfortunately, it takes imagination and empathy for a healthy person to understand the powerlessness of mental illness, and how it can distort your perception of reality. (I'm speaking from experience here; I struggle with bipolar disorder, along with mild delusions, dissociation, and PTSD. For me, watching Fight Club felt like watching my own life. The only real difference between my life and what you see in the film is that I don't have "changeovers." I'm always conscious of what is happening. For me, its like my inner Tyler Durden has me bound and gagged and is dragging me through the uglier parts of crazytown.) I think Chuck Palahniuk chose the name "The Narrator" because he wanted to give you a hint that "The Narrator" is an UNRELIABLE narrator. The Narrator is delusional, and you can't trust anything he tells you or shows you. And The Narrator spends a lot of time telling you that Tyler Durden is the epitome of what a man should be. SECOND: I think a lot of people (and not just women) have trouble understanding Fight Club because it is talking to men about the experience of being a man, of what it takes to be a man. Telling us that many of society's male stereotypes are toxic. The Narrator is an extreme example of a man-baby, and Tyler Durden is an extreme example of a man-boy. (The dichotomy is pretty obvious when you look at where they each live. The Narrator's condo looks like "The perfect home for your darling baby boy, brought to you by GQ Magazine." Tyler's house on Paper Street looks like a teenage boy's room gone horribly, horribly wrong.) The Narrator and Tyler Durden both want control, they both want to become the ideal man, but their ideals are childish and incompatible. The Narrator's ideal of a man is the "modern, fashionable man." The Narrator believes he will become a "real" man when he has completed his "respectable" wardrobe, and has surrounded himself with fashionable things. He wants to be a man, but he doesn't want to give up feeling safe and cozy. So he turns his condo into an Ikea-fetish baby crib. But its never enough; it just leaves him feeling empty. Tyler Durden's ideal of a man is more primitive. (The way that the fight club basement is lit, you could easily mistake it for a neanderthal cave.) For Tyler, a "real man" enjoys fighting. A "real man" takes what he wants. A "real man" never shows pain or weakness. A "real man" has control. Project Mayhem is Tyler's cult, and he is the absolute master of it. Destroying the debt-record buildings was Tyler's ultimate expression of control; he had proven that society could not control him and no one would ever be able to control what he has destroyed. 99% of the movie is about two extreme personalities (and world-views) fighting for control; fighting for who will be "THE MAN". We don't see "THE MAN" until Brad Norton appears. Brad Norton is the adult, the complete man, the man to be admired and emulated. The Narrator matures into Brad Norton when he uses his strength to reject the man-baby and gains the wisdom to kill the man-boy. In the final moments of the film, it is Brad Norton who stands beside Marla as an equal. Its Brad Norton who has an honest conversation with Marla: "You met me at a strange time in my life." Its Brad Norton who holds her hand, and comforts her, saying "Everything is going to be fine." The man-baby Narrator COULD NEVER do these things. The man-boy Tyler Durden WOULD NEVER do these things. THIRD: Fight Club is a VERY intelligent film. The film is oozing with ironic commentary. You have to watch the film many times and do a LOT of thinking to catch them all. The Narrator complains about his mindless job, dreaming of being rescued from it by a plane crash. A job that he CHOSE to take, and could leave at any time. Tyler Durden wants to set people free, so he creates a cult that turns people into mindless slaves who never ask questions. On the bus, the Narrator and Tyler disparage guys who pack into gyms trying to look like Calvin Klein models, when Tyler Durden's body is screaming that he's one of those guy; that he's been packing into those same gyms. And the list goes on... FOURTH: Fight Club is VERY intoxicating for men who don't feel powerful I think I have an easier time seeing this than most men because I have less power than a lot of the men who feel like they are powerless. I'm a disabled shut in, with bipolar disorder, depression, delusional episodes, and dissociative panic attacks. Which means I'm living on disability, with no job, no friends. Family and relationships are out of my reach, because I have panic attacks anytime I'm near someone. Almost every single expectation that society has for a man is out of my reach. The only thing I have that society deems "manly" is my intelligence. Now, I've dumped all this personal info on you so that you'll understand that I KNOW what its like to be a man and feel powerless. And feeling powerless, I often fantasize about being someone like Tyler Durden. But I looked beneath the surface of Tyler Durden, and I saw the toxic masculinity hiding there, and I reject it completely. However, rejecting a thing DOES NOT mean that you stop desiring that thing... And there are a lot of men, like the ones who call themselves "incels" who never looked beneath the surface of Fight Club. They look at themselves and only see The Narrator, then they look at Tyler Durden and see the demigod they want to be. FINALLY: Fight Club is too smart for its own good I love this film, but Fight Club is not a popcorn film. It is not a summer blockbuster. And Fight Club does not hold your hand. The film won't give you its message with a 50 foot neon sign. But I suspect that a lot of people didn't expect a Brad Pitt movie to be that deep, or complicated. So, they walked out of the theater, feeling a little confused, but admiring the badassery of Tyler Durden. But the effect of Fight Club on our society has been a near perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Many people know just enough about Fight Club to believe they understand it, but they don't know enough about Fight Club to realize just how mistaken they are. For just over 20 years, we've had boys and men watching Fight Club, believing that Tyler Durden is their hero. And Fight Club is there, screaming at them, telling them "NO! NO! NO! Tyler Durden IS THE MONSTER!!!" "Snowflake" is probably the most blatant example. When Tyler Durden is telling his Project Mayhem recruits "You are not special. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake." he is breaking them down, programming them, just like any good cult leader would. But the people who admire Tyler Durden did not see a cult leader programming his worshipers. They saw their hero: the person they admire; the person they want to be. And the easiest way to emulate someone is to repeat what they say. So they parroted Tyler Durden's words. They became a part of Project Mayhem. They felt special because they were repeating Tyler Durden's words. They felt unique because they were using those god-given magic words (like "snowflake") to insult all the people who believed that every person is unique Oh, the irony...

What I liked about this reaction was that you didn't fall under the spell of the character Tyler Derden. It refreshing seeing a perspective that sees the hypocrisy in Derden's actions. What I like about the movie is that it shows that Marla, and Norton's character, are the same. He's no better than her, and it took him awhile to see that. If you think about it, the whole fight club thing happens because Norton couldn't bring himself to ask Marla for help, or admit to himself that he liked her, and that she understood him. If he went to Marla's place after his home exploded, I think Tyler would have disappeared.

8:58 This is only my reading of what's going on. It wasn't about the fighting, not really anyway. 'Jack' was self treating his depression with strong emotions. When the support groups when he used shared misery fell though he turned to adrenaline as a replacement. The problem with doing that is kinda like the drug problem of eventually needing to chase bigger highs.
@JackOiswatching

Yeah, that's largely my read on it as well. I think it's people feeling that adrenaline and/or pain is 'real' as opposed to emotions, which is pretty common with depression, so they chase it. Fight Club is similar to someone self-harming in that way but it has this veneer of machismo added on top of it and it's a group activity which leads to toxic validation, much like many other types of unhealthy behavior.

It's not about violence, per se. They used fighting to break the boredom of safe, soft life, not feeling like men. Which is a very real problem of many modern men. There's ways to do it, that doesn't hurt innocents or others. Like skydiving, fighting in a ring (MMA), swimming in a frozen lake, extremely strenuous exercise like marathon running, weight lifting. People are not happy in life that is 100% comfortable. We need suffering and hardships, otherwise the comfortable moments don't feel like anything. Happiness is about contrast, not about constantly pleasant moments. Modern people have forgotten the physical side we have, we need physical exhaustion to stay mentally healthy. Best way to do it is sports, running, anything that gets your heart rate up, and out of your comfort zone, onto the limits. These guys just took it to the extreme (bare knuckle fighting is actually very harmful, and will injure you severely sooner or later, no matter how tough you think you are) but they had the right basic idea. Go to your limits, otherwise you never will feel alive

"I need a man to explain." Men are competitive. Most men don't want to fight. It's a display. Shouting, shoving etc. Even when they think about a fight, in their fantasy, they hit somebody who falls down and they win without getting hit. It takes a different type of man to get hit, get hurt, bad, and still want to compete and continue. Fight club weeded out the ones without heart. They found the soldiers. That's why they acted without question at the end. Fight Club was bootcamp.

The idea of a fight club is not just appealing because of the violence, but also and mainly because of the feeling of belonging and feeling alive. The Fight Club starts as something where guys just come to take out their stress and frustrations in the form of fighting, but as the story goes on we can see the members becoming closer and closer and they feel like they belong somewhere. Then they start to become ambitious and organized, they want to fuck shit up and if you’re lost and drifting away (I mean in life in general) with no real ambitions this type of groups will seem really appealing.

I'm not normally a huge fan of movies that get overly deep and philosophical, but Fight Club is one of the few I really enjoy. American Beauty is another good one with a few similar themes from around the same time period. Both movies manage to be extremely entertaining while exploring main characters who're very dissatisfied with their lives but who decide to take action to change things. You don't have to agree with WHAT they do, (I don't,) but the fact that they're doing something about it, and the circumstances that kick it all off, the WHY, are what fascinate me. I'm also someone who has frequent bouts of insomnia, sometimes rather severe ones, and I can tell you they're spot on in their depiction. You don't need to go very long with little to no sleep before everything really does seem like a copy of a copy of a copy. And while I've never gone so far as to develop an imaginary friend and start a fight club, prolonged lack of sleep can definitely mess with your emotions and thought processes.

Once did 10 all-nighters in a month in university. While it was painful and made me feel like a living zombie with how semi-conscious I was all the time, it felt in a weird way like I was seeing the other side of the moon. You're normally supposed to sleep during most of the dark in order to wake up the next morning, which starts the new day's cycle. An all-nighter breaks that cycle and connects one day to the next without you resetting yourself for the next cycle, which throws your rhythm way out of whack and makes you go a but kooky for as long as you make it last. Your body always wins against your willpower as it needs a balanced cycle to function, and won't let you run it on fumes. It's surreal and an interesting experience, but very mentally stressful and I'm glad I've never done one again after my 3rd year till date. Do it once at most for the experience and never do it again is what I'd say to someone who's been lucky enough ti never have done it.

"But at least he's real in that he isn't going to hide anything of himself" -Yeah, about that. "This guy needs help, and not Tyler, the main character" - ummm "Oh, a dildo!" - I died laughing "I still don't know this guys name" - yeah you do "What did the other guys think when Tyler was driving the car" - all goes back to what Bob said, that Durden was born in an insane asylum and only gets 1 hour of sleep a night. They all know he's flipped. Jared Leto knows at least and was probably told by Pitt Tyler that he's a split personality. "No, no, wheres my mind?" - She doesn't know she saw it.. but she saw it.. a nice big... yeah. The insomnia thing was recent in the story, he hadn't been suffering from it for years or anything. He was "sleeping" but the other Tyler was awake during those moments. When you saw the flashes of Tyler in the background that was the alternate personality trying to make contact with the main personality, that's why Pitt leaves while on the plane so quickly while the plane is still in flight and is only seen briefly at the airport. Norton is "asleep" after the plane lands as it's Pitt that steals the car and drives off to blow up Nortons apartment. The pay phone ringing was a thing you could do in the 90s, but that particular phone says on it that the phone doesn't receive calls. It was the phone call to the already rented home (Norton rented) that reached out to give Pitt more power to manifest for longer times until they're able to spend 24hrs a day together.

Fight Club is one of the few movies every young man should watch as a rite of passage ... Dead Poets Society is another one. Amazing movie :)

Something to understand about what's liberating to get beat up/fight is, the moment you realise you're not made of glass, you took the hit, it hurt, but you swung back or got back to your feet. It's really hard to explain unless you've been in a few fights😂 Edit: Anything that makes you break a pain barrier can feel this way, longer tattoo sessions are the most common thing I can equate it to, sitting steady through way more discomfort then you thought you could initially handle gives you an admittedly weird sense of achievement. haha

I have a feeling "I think I saw a glitch in the movie" was something many people began saying in their sleep when this movie was being put together. The story goes that when transferring this to film the people working on it thought the little Brads were problems with the image or film stock. Not to mention the "cigarette burn" and when the image starts going crazy during Tyler's "You're not your f__king car keys" moment. So David Fincher got endless calls about problems with the movie and "Are you sure this is supposed to be there?" emails. Probably would've been easier to send out exactly what he'd done to have these things happen at the beginning of the process but he's the genius.

The entire theme of the movie is a lack of general purpose for men in the modern world. That's why there's the line about the great depression. Yes it was shit but it gave men, who were the breadwinners back then, a goal to work towards. In the modern world, where we have an abundance of everything, we have no immediate goals. That's why mental health among men has been going down the shitter for decades now. Tyler provides a purpose, even though it is destructive.

Exactly, theres too many people here talking about how this movie is toxic and misconstruing the people in this movie finding their true selves and purpose as 'self harm' or 'unhealthy' because they are embracing conflict and violence, but to me thats ironic as fuck considering the traditional methods were clearly depicted as being unhealthy and leading them to actually self harm/ wallow in depression until they found a reason to live. The more modern society tries to suppress a mans true masculine self the more men will suffer from depression as we have seen from the higher depression rates in men and the 5x higher suicide rates. In the end their cause was messy, scary and uncomfortable but just, they gave purpose to many and freed even more from their debts all while never killing a single person.

@@WookieWarriorz Men universally relate to this movie because it is an allegory for our real struggle. Man has lost God, and Satan (tyler) has taken his place as the imposter. This is why all men who watch the movie will in some way admire or agree with tyler, even though we have an inner voice to know he is lying. (as Satan can only do). But the main character cannot go on as he is, empty inside and spiritually dead, so he believes in the lie. We do need a fight, we do need purpose, but it is in God that purpose was ordained. We need to return to The Father. Just as the theme in the movie suggests.

@@WookieWarriorz I was with you until you mentioned "mans true masculine self". That's kind of the point the movie's making. All the men who join the Fight Club are people who feel they're not true men because they are not the "mans true masculine self" that society claims real men to be. That's the true irony: society told them what real men were supposed to be, yet robbed them of it by forcing them to live meaningless lifes. There is no such thing as an "alpha male" or "true masculine self", but some men cling to that idea because they can't accept the fact their life sucks. But instead of trying to change it and find purpose, they try to emulate these fantasies, and that's what breeds toxic masculinity (especially with all the echo chambers on the internet nowadays).

@@ezrawyrd9275 I think it's a sign of the times. Ever since Y2K, polarization has hit an all time high. You have to be one or the other (in everything, ranging from politics, beliefs, behaviour). Women are no longer allowed to be treated as princesses outdoors and as whores in t he bedroom, or men sensitive yet firm when needed. Those have become mutually exclusive due to peer pressure (most often of the same gender). Be only this one thing or you will be judged fiercely on the other. It's a sad time to be alive.

Is it a man thing? Yes. After being in a fight there is a huge feeling of focus, clarity, and even serenity. It's exactly like he says in the movie. Like all other problems just get moved into the background.
