The more you like a movie, the less you know if it is perfect, because perfect things are sometimes completely incomprehensible.
The first time I watched it, I wasn't conscious, didn't understand it, and didn't have a deep impression of the movie. The second time I watched it while I was awake, the music in it kept lingering in my head, and Frank's appearance was always intermittent. Appeared in front of me, I always felt like he was forcing me to do something.

I don't know if it's the cups it brought, just where I watched this movie twice, I painted big bunny Frank on the wall, about 2 meters high. Its face is on the TV screen.

Later, a series of bad things happened. Up to now, it has been about half a year, and the influence still exists. I never thought that it was caused by this movie, because there are many reasons for what happened, but whenever When someone asks about a good movie, Donnie Darko is the first one I can think of, even though I know it's not "good" and I don't necessarily understand it.

I, who have been educated and cultivated in China, never noticed that I liked physics so much, just like after watching Fringe, I realized that biochemical physics can be so interesting and fascinating. This has nothing to do with logic, or even more consciously most of the time.
The human brain is even more magical than this magical earth. Morality and nature have bound people in a box. The more real the scene, the more unreal images are scary.

Below the spiritual level, any discussion can be seen as superficial. If there is no language, if human beings can communicate by spirit, what will everything be like?

Who interprets dreams, LSD, marijuana, etc. in plain chemical supremacy? Until the day when the human spirit is relieved, who can say that it is not the end of the world.

Speaking of Richard Kelly, I've only seen Donnie Darko and the Southland Tales, actually, the Southland Tales is more obscure. Maybe this is still a trick, make no sense, but it makes people rack their brains.
Why does a movie with the Hollywood brand have to make sense, and those small production cults make some people almost crazy.
Logic wants us to see through everything, so why not go to a movie with the feeling. Language can become too weak.

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.
