Movie: Fight Club

Interpretation:
The movie carries the everlasting theme of nature vs. culture throughout the movie. The character of Edward Norton is unnamed giving audiences the opportunity to consider if he really is Tyler Durden and only uses his materialistic everyday life as a getaway. The narrator is initially fed up with his lifestyle, that is inhabited by to much culture and materialism with a boring deskjob and an apartment stuffed with furniture from Ikea. Along comes Tyler Durden who is the essence of nature. He has sex with Marla even though the narrator is somewhat disgusted by her He makes a living doing sleazy and odd jobs, which he sees as an easy and prosperous living. The two of them form a fightclub, where both nature and culture are combined. The nature part is beating each other to pulps, the culture part is having certain rules for how the matches are supposed to be.
