I wrote an essay on the Fight Club in my book Discovering World Religions at 24 Frames per Second, in which I talk about how Zen Buddhism and Daoism can be used to understand the film. I would reprint it here, but it's too bloody long. There are a lot of Buddhist ideas in the film, though. And the anarchy part - yeah, pretty Daoist. I love the film, and after I wrote the essay, loved it even more.

Hey everyone! Just joined the group. Fight Club is one of my favorites. Every time I watch it I discover some new clue to the ending that I hadn't noticed before, but that, if I had noticed it at the time, I would have figured out what was going on way before the end of the movie.

Hi All! I see some familiar faces here -nice! Hey, I joined this group because I've watched this movie 3 times, and I still don't get it. I love Brad and Edward, though, so watch for them. But I'm hoping someone can really, in detail, explain to me what I am missing. I REALLY want to like Fight Club!!!

Maybe its not really one of the greatest movies of all time. But it is one I keep going back and watching over and over again. That's not true for many others.

i love that what the hoi polloi may see as cynicism is realism in the film.
and the dialouge.

wow....great movie....
I mean how many of us would love to be someone else...or have said "I wish I could be more like him"....Live in a glass house and you only get the pleasure of watching life go by.....but Smash one of those windows and get the pleasure of finding yourself, finding who you can be......
