This screen cap is from the movie
Fight Club. In this shot you see Tyler (Brad Pitt) in the tub smoking. Spoiler alerts. For those of you who have seen this movie you find out in the end that the main character is suffering from a unique mental disruption in which he creates another personality, Tyler. He does this unwittingly though. The screen shot depicts how the afflicted man sees himself as. This is his form of relaxing, smoking and soaking it up. This movie begs the argument of how do we view ourselves. He thought that Tyler was this amazingly awesome person and even looked up to him, but it was really him the whole time. This shot proves that the visualizations of ourselves are warped. Dont be someone that somebody else wants you to be. Just be yourself.
Now I have actually seen this movie so I know what it’s about. And I completely agree with you, some people have such warped perspectives of themselves that are so far off from the truth. Like in this movie the guy tries to be like Tyler exactly like him, he used to just be some guy that sits in a cubicle in front of a computer all day. When in reality they should just take a step back and look at their life and just be happy to be themselves and not try to be something else. Some people will see a cool guy on TV and almost immediately try to copy him or her and be like him or her.
ReplyDeleteThis movie is one of my favorite movies regardless of some harsh parts. I remember how surprise I was the first time that I watched it. In this screen cap Tyler is seeing himself to have different kind of joy that he never has it before. In his normal life, he always is an organized and neat person who cares about his furniture more than anything. By the time passed, he realized how empty and pointless his life is, so he started to desire something else from h is life. Some stuff that he couldn’t see that organized and strict man has, so what he did was to create a person in his mind who feel free to do everything without being afraid. In this scene we see how his creation person enjoy a moment of his life without judging it whether it is a good way or not.
