I have watched a lot of films with such themes, such as "Butterfly Effect" and "Mind Transferr". At the same point in time, a small choice of ours may change our lives and the lives of many people around us. The occurrence of the event is in a causal chain that has no beginning and no end. This is a bit like the "karma" in Buddhism. We are in the grand world, sinking in fear of the unknowable future. And "Donnie Darko" is not what attracts me. Just like the praise of love in "Time Traveler's Wife", "Donnie Darko" pays more attention to a kind of universal value, which is Donnie's ultimate His self-sacrifice makes this scattered causal cycle magical meaning.
At the end of the film, music sounds: "Children are waiting for the day they feel good, Happy birthday, Happy birthday..." Donnie in the film is special. In the eyes of the English teacher, he is a talented student; in the physics teacher, he I dare not speak too much to him; in the eyes of his father, they are lunatics that others cannot understand; in the eyes of friends, he always appears smarter than them... He is full of protest, rejection, and dissatisfaction with this world. In the conversation with the psychologist, we slowly heard his loneliness, and the mysterious old lady told him: Everyone must die alone. A word poked into his lungs, making it difficult for him to resolve it for a long time.
On the surface, Donnie is just an ordinary child. His particularity lies in the way he knows the world. First, he is lonely, and he cannot communicate intimately with his parents and family. Second, he refuses. He cannot accept the so-called education of using love to overcome fear like most children. He can bravely resist this hypocrisy; again, he is sensitive, and he is the only one who can feel the anxiety after the dismissal of the English teacher; of course, he is also smart, he can understand the complex time travel theory, and keep getting closer to the truth . But no matter what, Donnie is just a child. After stealing the forbidden fruit of love with his girlfriend, his face will still be filled with a stupid and sunny smile like ordinary people. Therefore, his girlfriend's death has this to him. Lethality. Donnie’s resistance to the world is not just adolescent mania, he is suppressed in this world where everyone is decorated with perfunctory love. The more he desires to love the person, the more he will reject the emotion of retreat. So he said: "Destruction is a form of creation, and they want to change the old world."
Donnie's hallucinations may be real, or they may be fantasies of schizophrenics. This is not important. A person who cannot integrate into real life is taken away as a sacrifice chosen by God. Before leaving, God gave him a chance to resist, but he gave up for the lives and happiness of others.
