Violence in Movies

A detailed Summary of Violence in Movies

Our society has to constantly put up with violence on the regular day basis. In fact, violence became a part of modern-day society. It is everywhere: in school, on the streets, on the television, and even at homes. The city is the most revealing place of the violence.

Over decades city violence was represented in the movies, as an undivided part of the urban society. In the movie "Fight Club" that came out in 1999, the life of the narrator, Jack, is portrayed as a monotone sequence of events that a person goes through in the big city. Jack has a great career, an expensive apartment filled with contemporary furniture, and no other goal in live. Jack is stressed out from his boring life, which causes a depression and insomnia. Clearly Jack needs help, but there is no place where he can find any comfort or support in the city, because everyone seems to be unconcerned about others problems. Even when Jack visits his doctor for help from insomnia, the disinterested physician tells him to stop whining and visit a support group for testicular cancer survivors if he wants to meet people who really have problems. So Jack does exactly that and discovers that interacting with these victims gives him an emotional release that allows him to

He discovers that: "when people think that you're dying, they really listen to you instead of just waiting for their turn to speak". Soon, he got addicted to attending support group meetings, and has one lined up for each day of the week. That's where he meets Marla, another faker, and her presence prevents him from getting the emotional relief he needs.

In the search for new therapy, Jack meets Tyler Durden, a soap salesman with an unusual view of life. After Jacks apartment explodes, destroying all of his possessions, he moves in with Tyler in the old house in the waste part of the town. Tyler inveigles Jack into fighting. Norton tries it, is hurt and enlivened by it. Soon, others find out about this unique form of therapy, and fight Club is born. The club is very secret, which of course heightens its male-bonding appeal, and Jack soon becomes a devoted member. Fight Club grows very rapidly in L.A. and in the big cities around the United States, attracting new members: men, varied in type and occupation, which feel that their lives are controlled. Nothing in their computerized existence feeds a hunger for adventure, for aggression, for the infliction or suffering of pain--for everything that masculinity has come to mean in society.
