Donnie Darko movie notes

Ivory 2021-10-13 13:05:34


Let me say a few points first: 1. The following text has a large description of the plot, because I read some comments and analysis before, and I feel that it is not detailed enough, and many details are ignored.

2. Because it is memorized while watching (all the lines in the movie are not a single nonsense, they are all clues, can't memorize it), so it's a little messy.

3. This is the fourth time I watched this movie. The version I watched a few times before was edited. It is estimated that most people watched it after editing. This time I watched the director's version, the director The version has added some content of "Time and Space Profound Meaning", which is easier to understand.

4. There are still a few unresolved issues, and I hope those insiders will inform them.

================================================== ==

Analysis:

First of all, what does this movie have to say?

The whole movie is based on the theoretical basis of "Time and Space Profound meaning", you can't understand what is going on without watching "Time and Space Profound meaning". I used to think that the theme of this movie was "death" and "religion". After reading it, I realized that it was not as profound as I thought before.

This movie is still explaining human emotions. At the beginning, Donnie’s attitude towards his family towards the people around him was contempt, suspicion and even disgust. At the beginning, the old woman reminded him that “everyone will die alone” in order to wake him up. With his initial state, it is impossible for him to destroy himself and save the universe. Of course, in these short 28 days, he has a more mature understanding of the people around him. From the initial conflict, to the later understanding, and the accidental death of his girlfriend, he made up his mind to sacrifice his life. I complete the big self.

Secondly, there are questions:

1. When will the offline space be generated?

2. No matter which space there is an extra airplane engine, where does it come from?

3. Since Frank wants to lead Donnie to destruction, why did he save him in the first place?

================================================== ==

Note text:

Donnie woke up in the field, wearing pajamas, indicating that he went out without being conscious. According to his mother later, he also used toilet paper that night to get everywhere outside Jason’s house. , It is likely that this shows that he is suffering from mental illness similar to sleepwalking, and Donnie's illness this time is probably because his sister later said that he did not continue to take the "pill". (He thinks he is normal.)

Donnie came home because he had a dispute with his sister at the dinner table about the presidential election. Donnie's sister might have been pregnant when she was in the 8th grade. .

My sister obviously had a boyfriend but said that she would marry after 30 years old. The president at that time exploited the family very seriously, but her sister said that she wanted to vote for the president. This shows that her sister's family concept is very incorrect (to avoid family pressure). Donnie laughs at her. Putting their son in the nursery is the reason for their emotional conflict.

After the meal, the mother asked her sister how she knew about Donnie's medication, explaining that the medication was kept secret by his mother. After all, mental illness is not a glorious thing. The sister didn't care.

The mother asked where Donnie had gone last night. Donnie was angry because her mother told her about her medication and had a dispute with her mother. Donnie said that he has stopped going to other people's homes since the sixth grade. Does this mean that he may have autism or social phobia?

Donnie took the medicine on the night that the holy thing came. It is not an illusion after the explanation.

Donnie met the rabbit and told him that the world would be destroyed in 28 days, 6 hours, 48 ​​minutes, and 12 seconds.

At this time the so-called holy relic (engine of the airplane) descended.

The god (that rabbit, called this for the time being) was produced before the holy object was produced, indicating that the offline space originally existed (later discovered that the production of the rabbit has nothing to do with the offline space. It is very likely that the rabbit was the dead body that saw donnie through time and space travel. , It is also said that the rabbit is an illusion of Donnie, it is not clear which is right for the time being), and does the creation of the holy object mark the creation of offline space?

The role of God is to guide Donnie to destroy the space he is currently in within 28 days, 6 hours, 48 ​​minutes, and 12 seconds (the time limit for space destruction).

Donnie woke up on the golf course of Dr. Fisher's house and met the perverted Jim.
At this time, Jim also said that he hates children. . .

The FAA U.S. organization investigating UFOs was unable to find out where the engine came from, and placed the family in the hotel.

Donnie’s sister said at the hotel, it’s the engine of the plane, what about the plane?
Yes, how is the plane?

The younger sister in the hotel was sent to sleep with Donnie, and his sister was really too much. . .

Parents talk: Frank Fider, their high school classmate, died on the way to the prom.

Mother sent Donnie and her younger sister to school, and said that her younger sister was practicing dancing at Mrs. Furman's house.

Chinese girl Kirita played. Dr. Fisher's son is a classmate of Donnie. Donnie helped Kirita get ahead.

Jim knows Mrs. Furman, and Mrs. Furman is Jim's loyal fan.

Donnie attends a class with a female teacher. On the blackboard it says, Graham Greene "The destructors", which is the name of the novel. The female teacher told the story of the children’s destruction of XX’s house. Donnie said that they flooded the house and broke the house into pieces. They said that destruction is a form of creation. They want to know what happens when the world is destroyed. They want to change the world.

This may be why Donnie later destroyed the school.

The old lady appeared and said in Donnie's ear: All animals will die alone.

At Dr. Thurman's house, donnie said that the rabbit was called Frank.

Donnie destroyed the school in the manner of a novel. Supernatural power. They Made me do it.

Two gangsters molested Donnie's girlfriend, one of them is the actor in many later movies, the fat man. . .

The hero saves the beauty.

His girlfriend's father also has a mental problem. He said that he once burned an unoccupied house and went to prison. It seems that he has a mental problem. . .

Donnie's girlfriend Gretchen likes his neuroticism. . .

Hypnotherapy has no effect on donnie.

How to continue life without a penis? Haha

Mrs. Feynman almost killed the old lady.

At the school fundraising seminar, Mrs. Feynman took out the novel "The destructors" to publicize Jim's heresy.

Donnie is taking medicine.

Mrs. Feynman is naive.

Wormholes can be controlled by people. Kirita heard the discussion between Donnie and the teacher about time and space.

Chapter 1: Offline Universe: The
fourth-dimensional time-texturing problem has very few accidents. Once the offline universe appears, it will be extremely unstable and can only last for a few weeks. If the offline universe collapses, it will be in the original A black hole is formed in the universe, and the black hole will destroy everything.

The book was written by the old lady (Roberta, Spero).

Donnie saw the trajectory of time, indicating that there is something wrong with the space?

Donnie found a gun.

Chapter 2 Water and Iron:
Water and iron are the key elements of time travel. In the offline universe, water is the barrier element used to construct the gate of time and space, and iron is the transmission element that constructs the relic container.

Chapter 9 Living Control Body:
The live control experience will spare no effort to avoid being submerged in the offline universe.

Frank appeared in Jim's speech, "Heartbreaking story" "His life was destroyed by inner fear" and "Looking for love in the wrong place". . .

At this time Donnie said, we are traveling through time. Donnie got to know Jim's true face. It should be Frank proving to him that he came here through time, so he said something he didn't know and did supernatural things.

Donnie visited the old woman's house, and a voice said: Send her a letter.

Chapter 4 Sacred Objects and Living Body:
When the offline universe appears, when the offline universe appears, people near the space-time vortex will be in the epicenter of a dangerous new world. When the holy object appears, the living body will recycle it out of curiosity. The holy object is usually iron. , Such as the arrow cluster from the Mayan civilization, or the medieval European iron sword.

Chapter 6 The Living Recipient The
Living Recipient is the selected guide, responsible for returning the holy object to the original universe. No one knows how he was selected. It will be endowed with the fourth-dimensional divine power, powerful power, and mind movement. , Mind control, the magic that summons water and fire, it will be entangled by nightmares, visions and hearings, those around him are called controllers, and they will fear him and try to destroy it.

Frank appeared in the cinema and said: Do you know the location of the teleportation point? Burn that room.

That room was Jim's room, perverted.

Chapter 6 Manipulated Dead The Manipulated Dead
is more powerful than the living receiver. If a person dies in the offline universe, he will contact the living recipient through the Fourth Dimensional Construct.

It seems that Frank came into contact with Donnie through time travel.

"The door to the basement"

The Chinese girl witnessed all the process of Donnie. She had a crush on Donnie and secretly followed him, so she is likely to become the next old woman ).

Frank didn't save Donnie to save him, but to destroy the world?

The doctor believed Donnie.

Chapter 9 Guiding Trap: The
dead control experience sets up guidance traps to ensure that the living recipients safely return the holy objects to the original universe. The living recipients must protect the fate of mankind.

The "basement door" (appears on the female teacher's blackboard) is a trap.

The dead body must die?

Donnie's girlfriend's death was unexpected by Donnie, but Donnie knew that Frank's arrival (when Donnie was knocked to the ground by a gangster, Frank came, and he was very happy that "the savior is coming"), this may be Frank's trap.

Donnie returned the holy relic and sacrificed herself.

Chapter 12 Dreams:
When the controller awakens from the offline universe, they will still be entangled by nightmares, but most people will not remember the previous experience. Those who retain a little memory will be deeply affected by their bad behavior in the dream. Feeling regretful.

Donnie was forgotten by most people.

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.
