What is a pseudo classic, this is~

It’s a classic and it’s said to be director Richard Kelly’s debut.

Okay, maybe it’s a classic. The director may be a genius,

but it’s a movie that the audience can’t understand. I really don’t know where the classic is. I spent an hour researching background information and I still don’t understand.

Why is Danny being killed by a holy object and the offline space disappeared?
Then why was the rabbit saving him at the beginning
? Why did he suddenly return to the beginning afterwards? Is Danny himself able to go back in time?
If Danny himself did not want to die, why did he say that it would happen The dead cycle is because at that time a black hole has swallowed all the space.

I don’t know if my brain is not working or the director’s brain is flooded.

Later I checked this guy’s other movie ratings are around four points (full score is ten, death hallucinations are close) 8 points, ranking more than 100 IMBD), if he is really a genius, the director should be like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan, a classic.

So I guess this is a pseudo-classic film~~ Masters never become masters by luck.

Donnie Darko quotes

  • [Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]

    Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?

    Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.

    Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.

  • Gretchen: Um, where do I sit?

    Karen Pommeroy: Sit next to the boy you think is the cutest.

    [the class gasps]

    Karen Pommeroy: Quiet! Let her choose.
