 In the review of "Fight Club," lines from Tyler Durden cited by the reviewer illustrate the following literary device:
Fight Club careers from one resonant satirical idea to the next without quite deciding whether its characters are full of crap or are Gen X prophets. On a plane, he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a cryptic hipster with a penchant for subversive acts both large (he makes high-priced soaps from liposuctioned human fat) and small (he splices frames from porn flicks into kiddie movies). Fincher and his screenwriter, Jim Uhls, seem to think they've broken new ground in Fight Club , that their metaphor for our discontents hits harder than anyone else's. "We are a generation of men raised by women," Tyler announces, and adds, "If our fathers bail, what does that tell you about God?"
