Is Tyler My Bad Dream? Or Am I Tyler's? The movie and the book Fight Club explore many of the same themes, such as existentialism, anti-materialism, anarchist literature, romantic love story, and is also a commentary on a lost generation. The story is a criticism of the American consumer society that has cloned individuals to resemble each other’s identity. The main character is introduced to the audience without a name, comes to us without a clear identity because he represents any man, any males living in our society.
Chapters 1–2: One afternoon in London in 1984 Winston Smith begins a diary. He wants to write about his feelings about the society he lives in.

Phillip Lopate’s “Confession of a Shusher” is an essay about the disturbance caused by chit-chatters in movie theaters. The author’s purpose of this essay is to state how much dislike he has for those chit-chatters and to devise a process for silencing other movie watchers around him. The purpose is clearly shown through tone and imagery. A humorous but arrogant tone is seen throughout the entire essay. The author quickly establishes his aversion towards noisemakers in movie theaters by calling himself the shusher.
Quoting the review, he claims, “It's macho porn -- the sex movie Hollywood has been moving toward for years, in which eroticism between the sexes is replaced by all-guy locker-room fights.” and “Certainly they'll buy tickets because they can see Pitt and Norton pounding on each other; a lot more people will leave this movie and get in fights than will leave it discussing Tyler Durden's moral philosophy.”. I think this is an incredibly simplistic view of the film and misses the entire point of the movie. At first you can kind of empathize with the character, feeling trapped in society's expectations of you, the lack of control a lot of us feel. Although, he is pathetic, taking no responsibility for the state of his life and far too reliant on society to fill the void he feels inside him. This is one imbalanced side of the coin.
Lucía Sánchez Estremé CTA II, 2º Estudios Ingleses Comedy Noir The clip which I am going to analyze belongs to the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Shane Black, 2005). The film is about Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey, Jr.), a petty thief who is mistaken for an actor and sent to Hollywood where he meets the private detective Perry Van Shirke, known as “Gay” Perry (Val Kilmer) and Harmony Faith Lane (Michelle Monaghan), his teenage love. They will get involved in a series of murders and mysteries. The movie is separated in days, in this essay I will deal with the first day “Trouble is my business”, the set up of the movie. I will focus in how this particular kind of narrator is imitating the subjectivity of film noir and parodies it using irony.
Kyle Cannon Duality of Man In the novel, Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk, our unnamed narrator and his unruly, ill-behaved side kick make trouble while discovering who they really are. As the novel begins, we meet our narrator whom remains unnamed throughout the book. Very soon after the book’s opening we meet Tyler Durden – the polar opposite of our mysterious protagonist. These two lash out against society and themselves by starting an underground fight club that extends into the streets. Soon, however, we discover that Tyler Durden is more than just a misfit best friend.
He finds satisfaction in owning unique furniture in an expensive apartment. He finds entertainment in beating up other men in a fight club. In the novel Fight Club, the author, Chuck Palahniuk, creates a nameless character with multiple personality disorders. I will not be going deeply into explaining these disorders, but rather describing how the character exhibits qualities and symptoms of them throughout the novel. The narrator is not officially diagnosed with these conditions but he shows numerous indicators of having more than one.
MM2021 Management and Organization Individual Paper Chosen lecture topic: Individual behaviors Topic: Why employees lie in workplace? Name of Student: Lai Chun Tat Student ID: 12073874D Class: TUT007 Introduction In 2009, a controversial and hit film was released, called “The Invention of Lying”. In this movie, the leading actor keeps lying to gain extra advantage in a world without dishonesty, as he realized that it is far more advantageous lying than not to. This film has waked public awareness about a long overlooked but worsening phenomenon: people lies at workplace, which is what I am going to discuss in this essay. Both male and female employees would lie.
The setting enhances the suspicion surrounding his character, which is established primarily by his “tiny eyes in the darkness”. Nick and Jordan’s being at the Plaza Hotel provides a contrast to the setting of the dark cellar in which Gatsby and Nick have lunch with Wolfsheim. Not only does the contrast imply the illegal nature of Gatsby’s business, but also shows the differences between the East eggers and the West eggers. Jordan represents East egg, and a society which was born into money, while the previous setting represents those in West Egg that have had to work their way up. • Voice- Wolfsheim’s dialogue disturbs the pleasantries we’ve been accustomed to so far through Gatsby’s parties, which represents the upper class materialism and decadence.
