Why is it cool to hate it now?
It's not.
>>220612760You weak minded fool.
>>220612760Fight Club has been controversial for a long time. It's a good movie, but many dislike it because they perceive it as accidentally endorsing what it's criticizing.

pre-"media literacy" nerds in the 2000s seethed that Chads enjoyed the movie
>>220612760It isn't. It's gauche. A false critique of popular thing by people not capable of legitimate critique posited by morons trying desperately to have an original take on millenial masculinity in media. The fact that they all wind up saying the same thing, bereft of any comprehension of the cultural context of the book or the movie, ignoring entirely the themes contained within of class struggle, generational trauma, and consumerism, places the exclaimation mark at the end of their inevitable brainlet failure! In the end the "hate" for fight club is not built on anything the movie is or isn't, but of the failure of the hater to reconcile their own idea of progress, with the dumbfounding reality that nothing changed. In particular the recognition that the teenagers who watched the movie in 1999, and maybe read the book in the mid-2000s, the milllenial males in question, have grown to the age of the characters in the movie, walked straight into an unrepentant facimile of the life of the narrator, while still being bombarded with the ideals represented by Tyler, only to find the option of the "fight club" now closed to them by the existence of the movie that presented it as an option originally. These millenial boys, now men, have been herded into the same trap that the narrator found himself in, but unlike the narrator knew full well they were walking into it, and inescapable fate guaranteed by the critic who now ignores the obvious truth of the movie in order to guarantee it. The critique itself serves only to firstly ensure the critic is the willing villain of the fight club fans own fight club-esque story, and then secondly to assuage their guilt for being so. Ultimately the whole discussion serves only to turn tragedy to farce. A false comic ending to a story that has decades yet to play out. Honestly the movie deserves a sequel, but the writers of such a sequel are too busy working jobs they hate to afford shit they don't need to write it.
>>220612760only pussies don't like this movie
