In fact, there is no theory, things are simple, it works perfectly

The centrifugal universe is too complicated. These theories are the work of scientists and theologians. I think this is our life. Let’s take a simple example for comparison:
1. I bought a lottery ticket and the lottery was drawn on Sunday;
2. I held This lottery ticket, start imagining the situation after winning the lottery, everything is so good at first, you can do what you like, add a new car, etc. . . Next, I will delve into the fantasy and think about it as something that really happened: If I really won the lottery, what should I do now, what if I win the lottery, what should I do if others want my money? Let the people around me discover how to use this money, etc. After thinking about it, I found that everything has advantages and disadvantages. After I got wealth, in order to protect my wealth, I was nervous every day, lost my freedom, alienated from the original environment and had to adapt to a new one. The new environment, etc
.: In the end, I found out that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and it is good to keep the status quo;
3. The lottery was drawn on Sunday, and I did not win the lottery, and I was quite calm.

Here's the movie:
1: The director sets Tony's room to be smashed by the engine;
2. The director thinks about what would happen if Tony escapes, and then how to rationalize everything, so Tony is portrayed as having a mental problem because The boy who was rescued by a rabbit (because if it is not set like this, he will fall into the room according to the engine, and he will not survive at all when he is sleeping) and then think about how to survive, but gradually we and the director will discover this setting Unreasonable, he was found to be mentally ill, and also had a strange rabbit. . . As a replacement for any of us in this matter, it is difficult to determine whether Tony is really sick or whether there is a rabbit. We go in any way, the world is not crazy, it will perish, and the story is told People can't justify themselves
: the director and us rejected this idea, everything has one side good and one bad;
3. The engine smashed into Tony's house, and of course he died.


The director deliberately made some connections with the offline universe receptors, because everything is connected, there is nothing unreasonable, and it also increases the visibility.
As for why we didn't think the story was unreasonable, we entered the story and were deceived by the director's "trick",
so we wrote a line designed in the plot. It was Tony's teacher telling the story of a rabbit, and Tony denied it. In this story, the teacher at this time represents the director, and Tony represents the audience. Tony questioned the irrationality of the story. The teacher's answer was: "This is the power of narrative."

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.
