Senior Don Juan
I personally LOVE the movie "Fight Club".
It's not even the plotline that blows my mind. It's the philosophy and ideals behind the plotline.
I truly believe the man who wrote the original book was a fvcking genius... and it almost blows my mind every time I watch that movie to notice that I have had the same thoughts and beliefs before having watched it.
Here are some quotes that I love from this movie/book.
"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
This raises the topic of spiritual warfare... not only among the plotline, of course, because this movie takes place in our generation and the generation before us's time.
The truth is, we ARE learning the fact that not all of us will be movie gods and rock stars, and we ARE getting pissed off about that... but I truly want to help everybody understand that it is our choice to make. We can live out the dreams we want and be those movie gods, race car drivers, and rock stars.
Yeah. We can live.
We can live like nobody has ever lived before.
We can be whatever we want. The constant push and trial of life will try to push us down, but we can keep going, achieve our dreams, and be men.
We, gentlemen, can be Don Juans.
"Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing. Like the first monkey shot into space. "
I'm sure the meaning of this quote is obvious. Men are to WORK for their dreams. Women work for us.
"Tyler Durden: We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.
Narrator: Martha Stewart.
Tyler Durden: **** Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing the brass on the Titanic. It's all going down, man. So **** off with your sofa units and Strinne green stripe patterns. "
What I gather from this is the undying love people seem to have for their possessions. They try to achieve happiness and contentedness in life through buying sh!t, "perfecting" their lives with their squared off buildings filled with various items promoting the "comfort" lifestyle.
I say FVCK comfort.
FVCK your fancy curtains, your expensive shoes, your video entertainment.
Get the fvck outside and live life, gentlemen!
Life is not about comfort! It's about growth as a person... in the physical and the spiritual.
Man, you'll never achieve your dreams through shooting fvcking super mutants on Fallout 3 or buying a new pair of Bunbury pants.
Man, forget ALL of that sh!t.
Forget what you "know" about life!
You don't know sh!t, you've been taught sh!t.
Knowledge comes from experience. Memorized patterns, numbers and words comes from education.
Forget the education.
Find the freedom!
I think that if any of you young Don Juans need some form of entertainment or story to learn what being a Don Juan is truly about, you need to go and watch Fight Club.
It is truly a mind blowing and amazing movie.
Namaste.
