Donnie Darko (2001)

I'm only partly though but I already really like this movie. They talk alot about The Destructors by Graham Greene. I read that short story in AP Lit this year when we started discussing deconstructionism. It was the first thing we did in the class. They also allude to Back To The Future with Donnie's comment about the Delorean.

It is a perfect resemblence to life as a teenager. Donnie is pessemistic and unhappy and doesn't want to be alone.

"let me just lay out what i believe is happening here, Donnie's aggressive behavior, his increased detachment from reality, seem to stem from his inability to cope with the forces in the world he percieves to be threatening."

"intruments of fear = alchohol, drugs, and pre marrital sex"

fear+love=life?

cellar door

"If the sky were to open up there would be no law, there would be no rule, there would only be you and your memories."

It's just another movie I can add to my list that seem to have deeply impacted me but I don't know how.
