The most fake sci-fi classic ever!

It's all said to be 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 the background information, but it's not very good. I understand

why Donnie was crushed to death by the holy relic and the offline space disappeared.
Then why did the rabbit save him at the beginning
? Why did he suddenly go back to the beginning? Could Donny himself be able to turn back time
? If Donny himself didn't want to die, why did he say yes? There was an infinite loop because a black hole had already formed at that time and swallowed all the space.

I don't know if it was my brain that was useless or the director's brain was flooded.

Then I checked the other movies of this guy and their ratings were all about four points (out of ten, the hallucination of death) Nearly 8 points, ranking more than 100 in IMBD), if he is really a talented director, he should be as classic as James Cameron and Christopher Nolan.

So I guess this is a pseudo-classic movie~~ The master never became a master 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.
