"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy sh%# we don't need, and the things you own, end up owning you."

-Tyler Durden, Fight Club (1999)

Have you seen Fight Club? It was a defining film for an entire generation and it's now twenty-five years old. If you haven't seen it, it's ok. We'll watch a few scenes together and talk about it. How much has changed since 1999? According to Fight Club, at that time, people were slaves to consumerism and capitalism. Was that true? Is it true today? Are we, in the words of Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt's iconic character) "working jobs we hate so we can sh%# we don't need"?

Fight Club is cemented into our popular culture. It's one of the most thoughtful films of the last fifty years. It questions everything from consumerism to capitalism to how and why we live our lives. So let's watch a few scenes from Fight Club, painstakingly chosen by Leon, a psychologist, student of life, and a huge movie fan. Let's talk about those things. Is capitalism the future? Are you familiar with the concept of the Keynesian economy? How is that different from what we have now? Globalisation and neoliberalism led us to where we are but are they the future?

Let's watch scenes from a ground-breaking film and let's have an open-minded, intelligent, and enlightening discussion!

“广告让我们追逐汽车和衣服，做我们讨厌的工作，这样我们就可以买我们不需要的东西，而你拥有的东西最终会占据你。”

——泰勒·达顿，《搏击俱乐部》(1999)

你看过《搏击俱乐部》吗?这是一部定义了整整一代人的电影，现在它已经25岁了。如果你没看过，没关系。我们可以一起看几个片段，然后聊聊。自1999年以来变化了多少?根据《搏击俱乐部》的说法，当时人们是消费主义和资本主义的奴隶。这是真的吗?今天是真的吗?用泰勒·达顿(布拉德·皮特的标志性角色)的话来说，我们是吗?“做我们讨厌的工作，这样我们就可以偷懒了”?

《搏击俱乐部》已经融入了我们的流行文化。这是近五十年来最发人深省的电影之一。它质疑一切，从消费主义到资本主义，再到我们生活的方式和原因。让我们来看看《搏击俱乐部》中的几个场景，这是由心理学家、生活学者、超级影迷Leon精心挑选的。让我们谈谈这些事情。资本主义是未来吗?你熟悉凯恩斯经济学的概念吗?那和我们现在的有什么不同?全球化和新自由主义把我们带到了我们现在所处的位置，但它们是未来吗?

让我们一起观看一部突破性电影的场景，并进行一场开放、智慧、启发性的讨论!
