[<<Angry Kid>>]

Has anyone seen that Donnie Darko film and has anyone worked it out yet?

[MindlessSelfIndulgent]

Worked it out?

[<<Angry Kid>>]

yea, i mean can has anyone got what it means
its really weird and meaningful but it all gets a bit jumbled at the end :confused:

[Punky Dudess]

that kid has issues so on the 2nd of october (my birthday) he turns back time...somehow, and kills himself....somehow with a jet engine.

thats a screwed up film.

[Amazed]

I've seen it. I didn't understand it very well either, so I asked one of my friends (who I saw it with) and he said something about destiny and shit. :/

[<<Angry Kid>>]

yes that kinda makes sense...the destiny bit is right
I like the bit were Grandma death says 'everyone on this earth dies alone' because its so true and nobody realises it

[offspringis the best band]

I don't remember much from the movie except it was a tad pretentious and overrated. But I don't remember the ending being particularly difficult to understand. Perhaps you're stupid.

[PunkOnAPlate]

Yeah, it was good, but it plays with your mind...
I pretty much get it now.

[Little_Miss_1565]

Ehh...it tries a bit hard. Still lots of fun, though.

David Lynch is a master. His films are not about "getting" some grand hidden meaning--the meaning comes from the emotions evoked by the various fucked up things he puts on screen. He's a visceral director, not a cerebral one.

There's nothing to work out, time travel makes no sense and never will. Good movies only use it as a device to tell the real story (Back to the Future, for example) while shit-fests like Donnie Darko actually think such a ridiculous idea is interesting itself (w00t, alliteration!).
It's not.

[<<Angry Kid>>]

Thanx that kinda helps me understand it, and im not stupid, im just confused :( which is kinda the same thing.....dammit

Oh my where do I begin.

[<<Angry Kid>>]

portals and gooey stuff coming out of your chest that determine where you'll go next...me thinks

[platinumpt]

When I think of David Lynch, I think of Dune. I love that movie. Now that's worth the time spent watching it.

[Not Ozymandias]

Oh my where do I begin.
You can start by putting a question mark at the end of your questions, thanx.

His films are not about "getting" some grand hidden meaning.

Tell that to his stupid pretentious legion of fans. Or better yet, when you hear them talking about a movie and they say "It really makes you think", reply with "Think what?". I guarantee nobody will ever have a satisfactory answer.

And Dush, read the fucking English thread I made and learn fucking English.
