Abstract

Among many of the analyses on David Fincher’s film Fight Club, one of the never tackled aspects is the characters’ auto-destructive tendency, which is extrapolated to other films of diverse genres. The vital answers are analyzed in this article speculating their causes and introducing keys related to philosophical, artistical and sociological locations of recent times.
