Donnie Darko chooses the best future

Donnie Darko said: They just want to see what happens
when they tear the world apart. They want to change things.

He got 28 days to do a kind of extraordinary time travel, and a lot happened in 28 days, he killed People set fire, the police are already looking for him; he has love but lost a lover; his family is at stake.

When the sky finally opened, he made a choice, he chose to go back to 28 days ago to die, and destroyed these 28 days with his own hands.

The person he loves will not die, and he is inexplicably sad when he passes by and sees his body without knowing him.

His family is fine, and although everyone is crying, they will live on.

Hypocritical people who have sins in their hearts begin to feel sad and repent for no reason, but they still have time to repent.

I guess, maybe that mother-in-law went through something like this, maybe she should have been hit by a car, and she chose that living future, she wasn't waiting for a letter, she was waiting for a car to hit her, obviously she never wait until. So she wrote the book to explain how such time travel should be chosen.

If Donnie Darko hadn't opted to go back to dying 28 days ago, he would have ended up with the same old granny, lingering in agony.

Fortunately, he made a choice and changed the future.

I always say that the most important thing in life is choices.

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.
