022 - Movie Analysis: Fight Club

“Once the unconscious gets into active opposition to consciousness, it simply refused to be suppressed.” C.G. Jung While failing at the box-office when it was released, David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk, became a hit and cultural phenomenon on home video. Viewed through a Jungian lens, there is a lot to explore and there is still something to add to the countless interpretations about its meaning. Caution: There will be tons of spoilers. I recommend watching the movie before the event.
