This guy was a total hideous balding fanboy that was hitting on every woman on the table, went crazy arguing stupid things, worked in film and he said that this film was the one that made him study film. That's all I need to know never to bother watching it.
shareRetard alert.
shareThat's kind of a lame reason.
shareI find this film very useful, because anyone who says they love it is instantly proven to be a douchbag.
Of course it's usually obvious before you find out what their favorite films are, but it's still useful information.
You've given some saddening info about your mother with this post.
shareI'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm pretty positive that that person probably liked the movie for the wrong reasons. I want to say that the movie is a satire of toxic masculinity, and a lot of douchey guys miss the satire part and mistake the movie for a celebration of toxic masculinity.
shareEXACTLY¡¡¡ OMG you nailed it. And that's pretty much the same with Scorcese, DiCaprio, The Wolf Of Wall Street, and so many dudebro films. But you know what? I don't even think Fincher was actually doing satire. He is a toxic dudebro too.

It's not a satire, it's an instruction manual. But we're not supposed to talk about that.
share"..the movie is a satire of toxic masculinity,"
Wrong.
That term wasn't even invented back then, and there's nothing TOXIC about the plight of men, however fema-fascists like you want to frame things as.
This movie is showing men's misery and then tells a fictional story about a schizo that tries to DO something about it.
Men don't ACTUALLY act like that, and there's no such thing as 'toxic masculinity'. There are many idiots on this planet, but they're spread to two genders, so if you want to use an accurate term, you should say 'toxicity among people' or something.
Women can be just as, if not more toxic than men can, and not all men are 'masculine' - in fact, ALL men are actually 'human beings', and the masculinity is often FORCE upon them just based on their genitalia - but misandry isn't even recognized as a dictionary word, that's how deep men's misery is in this world.
Is it any wonder if some men act out in a world that constantly tells them they're toxic, just based on their body?
Why do we care?
shareThat fanboy is probably you and you don't know it.
shareSo you assess whether a movie is good or not based on whether some crazy individual acts irrationally about it or not.
...rrrrright. Rational as !@%!#*...
