I saw the Director's cut. I just happened on it during my moviefest month at Blockbuster.

Sky, this is apparently a science fiction movie about a teen who may or may not be schizophrenic and deals with time travel and quantum physics.

Hmmm... I have never watched it, but it sounds quite interesting from your description, Lily. I think it might be a film my friend would like: she's interested in science.

Help analyze a movie? Very good synopsis Lilypad Help analyze a movie?

My hubby is into comic books. He said that the whole Donnie Darko thing is he is a Super Hero. And, that was the Director's original intent. One scene in the movie supports this theory . . . when Gretchen asks Donnie "What kind of name is Donnie Darko? It sounds like some kind of Superhero." Then Donnie replies, "What makes you think that I'm not?"

I've watched the movie so many times. Why would a psychiatrist give medications to an underage patient and tell the parents the patient is suffering from "daylight hallucinations . . . a common occurrence among paranoid schizophrenics," . . . and when Donnie stops taking his medications, his parents are worried . . . and the end of the movie the psychiatrist later tells Donnie he can stop taking the medications because they were sugar pills. I think he did have schizophrenia but it also enabled him to tap into other realities. Maybe the psychiatrist realized the pills were the catalyst for Donnie's unique abilities????
