The main character of the movie, an unnamed man (Edward Norton), finds himself in a boring, lonely, and miserable life. However, after meeting Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), his life completely changes. The two characters, who are tough men, establish an underground boxing club. They also see themselves as leaders of a movement that stands against modern consumer culture and carry out a series of sabotaging actions.
One of the messages of the film is its criticism of modern society's consumer culture. The movie shows how the main character's boring work life made him feel depressed and like a consumer, and how it's impossible to escape from this consumer culture.
Another message is about questioning and breaking the socially defined norms of masculinity. The Tyler character in the film goes beyond the limits of masculine identity and frees himself. However, there have been criticisms of the character's behavior, especially regarding violent scenes.
In conclusion, "Fight Club" offers a critical view of modern society's consumer culture and norms of masculinity, while also showing how limited and dangerous such criticisms can be.
