In the movie Fight Club, the narrator leads a very lackluster life. He is an insomniac who works a car company in an office building. He is obsessed with furnishing his apartment and buying a nice wardrobe in hope of satisfaction in life. He attends support group meetings because he says the crying helps him get better sleep at night.
One day, the narrator meets Tyler Durden, a soap salesman. Tyler is very chaotic and hates the consumer culture. One night, the narrator and Tyler came upon the idea of fighting as a hobbie. If felt good to them, and others saw them fighting outside the local bar in the parking lot and became interested. "Fight Club" was the name they gave it, and its popularity was growing rapidly. Fight Club was moved to the basement of the bar and was expanded to every night of the week.
Ever since the narrator started the club with Tyler, he felt more alive than he had ever been. Others joined the club for the same reason; to feel alive. Fighting was something that let people express their evil side or be involved in something evil.
