Donnie Darko	comment	Donnie Darko is a 2001 American Science Fiction Psychological Thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly. Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the title role, with Jena Malone, James Duval, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, Patrick Swayze, Noah Wyle, Seth Rogen and Maggie Gyllenhaal in the supporting cast.On October 2, 1988, troubled teenager Donnie Darko encounters a figure in a demonic rabbit costume while sleepwalking. The figure introduces himself as "Frank" and tells Donnie that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds, moments before a jet engine crashes into Donnie's bedroom. Crediting Frank with saving his life by causing him to sleepwalk out of the house, Donnie starts to do his bidding while gradually trying to uncover the strange events around him, which may or may not be related to Time Travel, an alternate dimension, and/or Donnie's worsening schizophrenia in ways that still bear interpretation, analysis and confusion to this day.The word-of-mouth cult following that the film grew led to Kelly being given the opportunity to create a Director's Cut, which released in 2004. It greatly alters the pacing of the film by adding deleted scenes and new digital effects as well as changing parts of the soundtrack and making more of an effort to explain some of the film's ambiguous elements. Kelly considers this version not really a director's cut but rather an "extended special edition", and fan opinions remain somewhat divided as to which version is better.Rumors of a sequel have been vehemently denied by fans for years.

No matter what he does, he's apparently condemned to repeat the same loop over and over again... unless he kills himself beforehand. Meanwhile, his school life is spent constantly at odds with crusading teachers and motivational speakers. Yet this doesn't stop him from enjoying things while they last, and in his final scene, before getting crushed by the jet engine, Donnie just... laughs.

Donnie Darko / int_40cc0c7e	type	Bittersweet Ending
Donnie Darko / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Albeit a bit more on the obtuse side upon first viewing, the film ends with the events of the past 28 days unwinding for Donnie, culminating with him back in his bedroom on October 2, after which he stays in his bed and laughs as the jet engine comes crashing down on him. What prevents this from being a total downer is the ripple effects it has. Donnie would have died outright had Frank not spoken to him and gotten him out of bed, and thus the entire rest of the movie wouldn't have happened, and so the whole purpose of the film seems to be allowing Donnie to come to terms with his premature death and to realize that as sad as it is, it's way better than the alternative of the world ending. Furthermore, Donnie's survival results in the deaths of his girlfriend, mother, sister, and Frank, as well as his English teacher losing her job. On the flipside, Patrick Swayze's character gets away with his nefarious activities, at least for a while, and Donnie's death means that he never meets Gretchen. And if Sparkle Motion still goes on their trip, then at the very least Mrs. Farmer and many of Samantha's teammates, if not Samantha herself, die in the plane crash, but in that case Samantha's teammates were doomed either way.

When he moves himself and the jet engine that should have killed him back into the past, he closes the loop by dying in the way that he should have from the beginning, negating everything in the time loop. This causes everything that was changed by his time travel to exist outside of the normal timeline without affecting it. The one exception is that the engine now went back in time for no reason whatsoever.

The next page spells out more than a few details - specifically, that Donnie is a Living Receiver. The text states: "The Living Receiver is often blessed with Fourth Dimensional Powers. These include increased strength (Donnie sinking the axe into the Mongrel's head, even though it's solid bronze), telekenesis, mindcontrol (sic), and the ability to conjure fire (Donnie burning down Jim Cunningham's house) and water (Donnie flooding the school by destroying the water main)." The book also explains that "The Living Receiver is often tormented by terrifying dreams, visions, and auditory hallucinations during his time within the Tangent Universe" (emphasis added for effect).

Donnie Darko / int_710bd545	comment	Mind Screwdriver: Donnie receives a book on time travel from his science teacher, time traveling also being the central plot-driving device of the movie. A director's cut released a few years after the original DVD release briefly cuts to pages from said book, where the mechanics of time travel in this movie are explained - which is vital to figuring out what the hell is going on. The book was later actually published and released. It explains most of the background and events present in the movie. Yet while it explains some of the time travel mechanics, the closest thing we have to an explanation of where Frank came from or who is manipulating Donnie is a couple of lines in the commentary saying that maybe it's God. Or aliens. Whatever.

Donnie Darko / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Of 1980â€™s coming-of-age movies such as The Breakfast Club, time travel, and the concept of alternate universes. What happens when an alternate universe is abandoned? Does it keep going, cause a Time Crash, or more? Most importantly, what happens to the people living in said universe? In the director's cut, it is revealed that alternate ("tangent") universes are inherently unstable and can only last, oh, about 28 days before collapsing, which can endanger the existence of the primary universe. Once the artifact (the jet engine) is returned to the primary universe, the tangent universe no longer contains the anomaly of having a duplicate object from the primary universe (the artifact) in it and unravels without forming a black hole. Presumably, the people in the tangent universe cease to exist in the tangent universe but go on living in the primary universe.

Donnie burns the house down under Frank's command later in the film. The Life Line Exercise Card that Donnie reads is about a girl finding a lost wallet. Donnie later finds Jim Cunningham's wallet on the sidewalk outside his mansion. Donnie's friend suggests that "someone oughta write that bitch [Grandma Death/Roberta Sparrow]." Later in the film, Donnie does just that. After the initial accident with the fuselage, Donnie's father muses about fate and how Donnie could have been another tragic headline. Over the course of the movie, Frank communicates to Donnie that his surviving the crash has destabilized the time stream, jeopardizing the universe, and Donnie accepts his fate, dying young for no reason to the average observer. When Frank visits Donnie in the bathroom, Donnie attempts to poke the invisible barrier between them with a knife until Frank starts to get annoyed. Specifically, right in Frank's right eye, where Donnie is destined to shoot him.

This was reportedly because that's when Richard Kelly grew up, and he wouldn't be able to write a coming-of-age story in the 2000s due to lack of a frame of reference. A minor aspect of establishing the film's setting and characterizing Donnie's family is the presidential election of that year, which came down to George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis (who we see debate at one point), and would've been just around the corner from the events of the film.

Donnie Darko / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Donnie Darko / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Many. Many. Many. Some that aren't referenced directly are: The whole "Sparkle Motion" subplot was a huge reference to Graham Greene (Author) when he was sued by Shirley Temple's lawyers for libel when mocking her middle-aged admirers. He's often cited as one of the first to criticize the sexualization of children. If you haven't seen Harvey, then much of the situational humor will fall flat. A big white rabbit that no one can see, as referenced by a hallucinating nice guy, that may or may not be real. Samantha Darko writes a short story for her class called The Last Unicorn. Donnie has a crush on Kelly Bundy from Married... with Children. Donnie mentions the DeLorean from Back to the Future (also stating that he enjoys the movie itself for its "futuristic" look), and both movies have the number 88 as an important plot point. The scene where Donnie, Gretchen and Donnie's other two friends ride bikes after the Halloween party was Richard Kelly's tribute to one of his favourite films, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Donnie and Gretchen go to see The Evil Dead (1981) as a date movie (in a double feature with The Last Temptation of Christ, oddly enough).
