[12.10.15]
11.11.06 I watched it for the first time, and I read it in a confused way. After reading many film reviews, I still can’t understand
it. This time I revisited it for the purpose of supplementing the film review.

This time, I specially noticed a few details, and I probably understood the story. I wanted to express something, but obviously the movie was bad and didn't tell the story well. If I showed it to fans of the original work, it is estimated that the director would be complained to death.
I give 4 stars because the subject matter is novel, and I don't give 5 stars because it fails to show the essence of the original work (although I haven't read the original work, but I think I know the essence of the original work)

on the surface, the story seems to be about the plane crash, the little boy When Ni died, he had hallucinations before his death, and made up a story to comfort himself (the source of the translation),
but if you think about it carefully, you will know that this interpretation is wrong.
Here are just a few reasons:
1. The rabbit-headed man caressed his eyes, and was in a daze for a while when his girlfriend saw Donnie's body in his
dream (it means that what happened in the dream really happened, and they have vague memories of that time)
2 . The girlfriend in Danny's dream doesn't know Danny, and Danny probably doesn't know the girl either
(if you don't know the girl, it's impossible to dream of her)

The story is actually about the plane crash and the accidental opening of the wormhole , to make the current universe disorder, open the appointee mode, the current universe develops in parallel to other branches, when Ni is the appointee of this branch, if he does not die, the universe will be destroyed, and if he dies, the universe will return to normal.
And when Donny is just a child, he doesn't want to die, and he does many things he wants to accomplish in this branch of the universe (smashing underground pipes, refuting old women's lectures, arguing with speakers, setting fire to the basement), however, his girlfriend accidentally To die, he realizes that his selfishness is not good, he should be a little more noble, sacrifice himself, and achieve others, so he chooses to die to restore the whole universe to normal. . .

This film is a science fiction story, and its theoretical basis is that the essence of time travel is to travel to another branch of the parallel universe, which allows rewinding (that is, to the point in time when the branch was opened)

The key is:
At 123:07, chapter 12 of The Philosophy of Time Travel:
When the Manipulated awaken from their Journey into the Tangent Universe, they are often haunted by the experience in their dreams.
Many of them will not rember.
Thos who do remeber the Journey are often overcome with profound remorse for the regretful actions buried whin their ...
Translation:
When the controlled people are restored from the parallel universe to the normal universe, they can usually only relive the experience in a dream.
Many of them no longer remember the experience.
Those who remember the experience often also feel deeply sympathetic nostalgia for the mandated people buried in parallel universes.

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.
