Video Discription |
“Fight Club” directed by David Fincher (based on Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel) is choke-full of elements (on steroids) of Jungian psychoanalysis, such as the psyche, the unconscious, the collective unconscious, and archetypes. First the narrator meets his Anima, Marla Singer. The Anima is considered to be the personification of all female tendencies in a man’s psyche.
The Anima and its counterpart - the Animus (a personification of the masculine tendencies in a woman's psyche) - are some of the most complex archetypes to describe since they are derived from the notion of male and female but differ from the arbitrary stereotypes society has set on their roles. Instead, they refer to the abstract concepts of the Eros and the Logos. The Eros/Anima, is associated with human relationships, earthiness, creativity. As the Anima, Marla is a complex character - she is meant to convey several emotions all at once. She is the embodiment of all dichotomies; she is enchanting but repulsive, life and death and most of all, real but dreamed-up.
Being the “chaotic urge to live and life”, she is the only one who can help to uncover what the narrator (Edward Norton) needs, in order for him to be whole and recover his will to live. The Anima is such a powerful figure that, in the precise moment she walks into the room, she manages to disrupt the narrator’s reality and makes his whole world start to collapse. With the coming of the Anima into consciousness, it was only a matter of time before the Shadow (Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt), the next big archetype of the unconscious, made itself present. The Shadow, conceived by Jung, is the polar opposite of the persona, making it consequently, opposite to consciousness as well, since it carries all the rejected traits, repressed ideas, weaknesses, forbidden desires and instincts held by the personal unconscious.
“Fight Club” is a 1999 film directed by David Fincher, and starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter. It is based on the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk.
