I just watched it. First time. I feel like I need to watch it again, maybe three times.
I'm not sure what I just learned.
Awakening. Primal Mind. Multiple I's. Psychopath. WTH?
I need some helpful interpretation.
I am already in a mixed up blend of decoding reality from perception in my daily life. People I thought I knew are turning into mindless psychotics right before my very eyes and that is seriously distorting all I thought I knew.
I feel like I am living that movie, except I'm not the divided Tyler, everyone else is.
Would someone like to assist me with this?

Many, many peoples ARE mindless psychotics. Broken machines. You just did not notice it before because you were asleep and accustomed to it, and now that you are firmly on the way to Awakening, your eyes are opening and you see it. You will see more things... some beautiful, some ugly.
About Fight Club, the main lesson, according to me, is to overcome fear, habits, conformity. Tyler is a free man, so he destroy his pitiful life and start living as a man. I'm sure my life would had been very different if I watched it in my youth. But let's not search a close relation with the 4th way, that's just a movie.

@yrright: Kudos on the first part. On Fight Club, yes, it's a movie. Yet you say: "About Fight Club, the main lesson, according to me, is to overcome fear, habits, conformity." And then claim: "But let's not search a close relation with the 4th way, that's just a movie." But.. um..? Heh. Overcoming feat, habits and conformity sounds like the 4th Way to me. Are you saying "Don't take it too literally?" as in "Don't blow up yer freekin house?" Not taking what's said too literally and instead focusing on understanding the "big ideas" is almost a commandment of the 4th Way.

I say, don't shoot yourself in the mouth...
And David Fincher the film director is not a 4th way master who wants to teach us something. Still, yes, there is something important to learn from it, but not every part of it is useful.

OK, I get it.
I have no idea if the Director/Producer is a Fourth Way master or not. That's not the point of discussing the movie in 4th Way terms.
The movie mirrors the Fourth Way. I'm under no illusions that it's impossible for people to discover the same underlying mechanisms used by the Fourth Way on their own.
Karate and Kung Fu may not have a common lineanage -- but people in either discipline have a lot of common knowledge.
