Donnie Darko - SPOILERS
Mikaela:
Hey Susie. Loved the video. Thanks for linking to it. Great 1-minute summary ;D... and I especially loved that clincher. Hehheh. So funny! Donnie remains one of my favourite films. And to think that if it hadn't been for BBM and the resulting Jake-infatuation, God knows whether I'd ever have gotten around to watching Donnie at all!
Ellemeno:
What is the last thing he says in the video? I couldn't make it out. "An excellent example of why they developed...whuh?"
ednbarby:
One of my very favorites, too (obviously - look who started this thread).
And I agree that he summed it all up quite nicely.
What is your theory on why Donnie was chosen to go through the wormhole (or looking glass) and live in the parallel universe (Wonderland?) for a while before he dies, Susie?
Maybe it's saying that we all do that right before we die, in a way? Kind of like "Jacob's Ladder" (ever see that one with Tim Robbins?).
ednbarby:
Yes, the "it was all just a dream" theory is my least-favorite, too. :)

I saw Jacob's ladder years and years ago, I remember it's very disturbing and don't they use the quote from Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception?
To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large— this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual.
