My thesis, titled David Fincher's White American Antihero, explores Fincher's leading male characters across four of his films: Se7en (1995), Fight Club (1999), The Social Network (2010), and Gone Girl (2014). I explore these antiheroes' common identity as Gen X white American men. Likewise, I study their challenges under emasculating forces and their shared journey to recovering their identity and sense of masculinity. This thesis investigates the narrative and cinematic strategies, such as neo-noir motifs, suggestive sound design, and computer-generated imagery, to convey these characters' psychological realm. This exploration involves issues of apathy, loathing, narcissism, deception, alter-ego, and emotional fragility. Also, I explore the ways these characters resort to brutality, anarchism, nihilism, betrayal, and subversive behavior to regain their agency. As well, this thesis explores how these films are grounded in the American culture of the last four decades, specifically on topics of toxic masculinity, class differences, corporate culture, consumerism, and violence. Likewise, I explore these films' depictions of governmental, religious, and family institutions. Similarly, I explore how these films implement race and gender as narrative devices to reinforce the antihero's social dilemma. Additionally, I explore the function of the leading female character as a catalytic force for these antiheroes to re-establish their agency and order.
