Donnie Darko

[kshtoinks12]

deus ex machina
i believe those were the actor's in roman plays that appeared out of nowhere to cause a eurika

[kshtoinks12]

idk how i know that...
how does that refer to wat was happening?

[Saves The Night]

The car comes out of nowhere kill gretchen and also put a bullet in franks eye and to tie together that end of the story

[kshtoinks12]

so he basically saw it coming?

[Saves The Night]

I think he knew all along what was going to happen after he was in the theatre and was shown the portal.

[kshtoinks12]

so since that point, u think he was omnicient, that definately made sense, thnx for clearing tha tup

[Saves The Night]

its all just my opinion but yeah thats what i believe, and no problem, ive seen the movie like 25 times for real.

[emoishardcore]

watch the extended cut version. normaly these are a ploy to make you buy 15 more mintes of crap fotage you shouldve gotten in te origional but this one had some nice extras

[marbury1414]

It's supposed to be a play on the phrase in a sense. Deus ex machina (god in the machine) refers to old plays where the conflict would be resolved by a god character coming down and solving everyone's problems. Donnie realizes that everything is happening because of him and he is literally the "god in the machine." Only by his actions can he solve the problems of everyone else.

/thread

(This is also the theme of the entire movie)

[ArTkY_]

deus ex machina
That's the name of my band.

[Saves The Night]

watch the extended cut version. normaly these are a ploy to make you buy 15 more mintes of crap fotage you shouldve gotten in te origional but this one had some nice extrasI loved the extended cut but i wouldnt advise making that your first watch as i think it takes away from the mystery by kinda bringing up pages from the book...the original version is the best still, but some of the deleted scenes are worth the price of the DVD.

[JunkBondTrader]

yea its basically just a force of god is acting to pull the plot together to make everything come out right. Donnie knows this. he has known it all along. He already knows what he has to do. Kind of like the Manipulated Living, its all apart of this interworking of god or this higher power. The best example of the manipulated living, in my opinion, is when Drew Barrymore asks Gretchen to sit next to the cutest boy......no teacher would ask anyone girl to do that. She is manipulated by this god machine so Gretchen will meet Donnie because it is essential.

[hobbes2809]

jundbondtrader and marbury have summed this up perfectly

so im not even going to try haha

[kshtoinks12]

interesting thoughts, thats why its so great there are so many facets you need to analyze, u have to watch it 50 times to really get it

[hobbes2809]

this movie and Primer

maybe 100 times for primer

[kshtoinks12]

my fav of all time was shawshank redemption, but u only need to see that once

[reductiondesign]

"Deus ex machina," and then, "Our savior."

These people got it already.

[hobbes2809]

my fav of all time was shawshank redemption, but u only need to see that once

also my favorite, but I watch it every time it comes on tv randomly and once every three months or so on dvd

I'll just forget everything im doing and start watching, no matter if its halfway through or what

[reductiondesign]

PRIMER! My favorite movie. (See: sig.)

And yeah, Primer is insane.

aronofsky

how pumped are you for the Fountain?

[reductiondesign]

I cannot wait. I ordered the graphic novel off of Amazon, so I'm eagerly awaiting that.

You seem to like good movies - you seen Memento?

[kshtoinks12]

MOMENTO!!! i love that flick it was a masterpiece

[kshtoinks12]

i loved its flow, it moved so perfectly, it pieced together something new every 3 minutes, one of the most amusing movies ever

[hobbes2809]

definately, great concept

what did you think of Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch? I assume if our tastes are close, you'd have enjoyed them

[reductiondesign]

Overall, I liked Snatch more, but Lock... had a better ending. Guy Ritchie is so stylistic - I love it.

Do you like...
Pulp Fiction?
Reservior Dogs?
Se7en?
Fight Club?
I Heart Huckabees?
Adaptation.?
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind?
Vanilla Sky?
Magnolia?

Some of my favorites.

And, are you a Johnny Depp fan? I'm just wondering...

I had a dream that Aronofsky told me the Fountain wasn't coming out this year.

Nobody with a good thought in their head belives that the movie has anything to do with punk rock.

What is your point?

It's about as punk rock as hot topic

Damn, 2 for 2 today. I thought it was alright. Does not deserve all the praise it receives around here though.

[primate1]

Well it does have some great post-punk (which is a significant spin-off of punk rock) in the soundtrack. (Joy Division, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Church). And it is a great film.

[SLADE775]

Fuck all of you.

[reductiondesign]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Just because it doesn't make sense with one watch doesn't mean it's bad.

Or are you looking for mindless, cheap entertainment?

The creators even admitted that they don't understand it....so how can you!?!?!?!



And hmmmmmm I gave "The White Countess" a 9/10....ya cheap ent. all the way.

Oh but that's right....you've never heard of the white countess.

[JunkBondTrader]

slade you just want a 100+ post thread, i know you do.

but yea, for the record. Donnie Darko is my favorite movie of all time. Not saying its THE greatest movie of all time. Im saying I enjoy it very much, never gets old. Its a beautiful film. Great performances. Love the direction. The colors (the dark blues that are present throughout). Its an awesome movie. And though i think its a very easy film to understand, thats the only thing that is blown out of proortion. Everyone is always like "omg dude that was insane, what just happened, i dont get it, that was trippy as fuck"......no its really not, if people werent so fucking stupid and had an attention span its really not hard to follow at all. love the movie.

slade......richard kelly obviously knows what its about, he wrote it. get the directors cut, he knows a shitload about the movie that HE MADE. its pretty in depth, hes not an idiot.

while i dont think the plot can be interpretted a million ways like people think......i think the motives and the feelings expressed by the charaters is what really gets the movie its high praise from me. Its about love, alienation, and possibility. incredible movie.

Hot Topic is an alternative lifestyle store, it's not just scene, it's goth, it's Metallica bongs, it's redneck, it's whatever. It's a store that appeals to niche markets, just like Donnie Darko has become a cult classic in niche markets. Take a marketing class, Slade.

..........fall out boy doesnt make you think. this movie is recognized for its artistic representation of suburbia and an everyday teen who gets put in a totally fucked up situation. id say its going to be around alittttle longer than fall out boy.

FOB sucks the knob anyway.

and DOnnie Darko appeals to more groups of people....FOB is for scensters and lovers.

You think that the groups of tweens watching in the dark aren't the same kids buying Aiden albums?

no you are putting two completely different things, music and movies, together. sure people who listen to Aiden probably like it, but so do I. I know people of all ages and musical tastes that like this movie and some that don't. the fact that what music they listen to has absolutely no bearing on whether they like the movie or not.

Slade, final statement. You choosing to pick fights in the forums and make broad generalizations of games, movies, TV shows, and the people that watch them has gone one step too far. You are welcome to carry on debates in a respectable manner with people, but grouping everybody together as one is unacceptable and is creating a destructive enviornment on these forums. This is a strong stance but it's one that many members feel and I think others would agree that they're flat out sick of it. Any more threads that I personally see with you talking shit on other users for their opinions, purposely calling groups of people "blind" or "idiots" for thinking one way another, those threads will be closed. I certainly hope you get the hint after a while, because it's gone on long enough. No more new threads about "Brand New sucks" or "Arrested Development is not funny" or "The xbox 360 sucks my balls" or "You're an idiot if you don't like Dragon Quest 8" or any sort of obvious dissenting opinion for the sole purpose of pissing off people and giving you giggles. Enough is enough, seriously. You express your opinions enough in the replies of threads, there is no need to create a new thread every time.

You might actually be suprised by the review. It's not bad in the least, in fact it has a lot of great things about it. They've changed a lot but I fear people won't even give it a chance because of their ridiculous image and awful fans...and the fact that their last album was pretty derivative and Sonny's voice was awful.

[A picasso blue]

oh slade.

you think arrested development isn't funny, and you think one of the most in-depth, innovative movies ever created is just created by a "bunch of crack heads." Guess anything that requires you to think must be bad, hmm?
but...arrested development isnt funny.

[A picasso blue]

i agree with Slade for once (maybe the only time ever). this movie is very overrated

[Scott Weber]

but...arrested development isnt funny.
At your age, I'm not suprised why you wouldn't find it funny. It requires you to watch it in order, understand the characters, and appreciate subtle humor as well as situational humor. If all you like is cheap laughs, you're not going to like it. I mean no offense by the age, it's just that most people who "get" the show are at least 18 or 19.

so true. started watching it halfway through the first season. didn't get it(or really enjoy it). started from the beginning. one of my fav shows.

[aminorthreat55]

Uh. Maybe in California. That state is like the worst collection of scenester pretenders in the nation. Still, for Slade to call everyone that likes that movie a scenester is retarded...that's like calling everyone who likes "Toy Story" a little kid.

Hot Topic is an alternative lifestyle store, it's not just scene, it's goth, it's Metallica bongs, it's redneck, it's whatever. It's a store that appeals to niche markets, just like Donnie Darko has become a cult classic in niche markets. Take a marketing class, Slade.

Not exactly, but if you have no frame of reference for certain aspects (this applies to more than just movies), your opinions can be way off the mark.

Just say, for example, you saw a movie and were extremely impressed by the camera techniques because it had a trombone shot and a ferris wheel shot, and a few other bells and whistles. As a result, in your review, you give this movie an A+ for cinematography. That rating would be completely ridiculous if you had seen a few old movies and knew that these styles of shots have been around for nearly 50 years. You know?

Whatever.

haha, thats reassuring. how could someone not like donnie darko? i guess if it just confused you to the point of insanity, but even if it did, it still owns.

[JunkBondTrader]

^^ donnie darko isnt even confusing. thats the one thing that bothers me. is that if you sit down and watch it....there really isnt anything to confuse when it comes to the plot. The thing that is up for interpretation are all the things in the background like.....the comparisons between donnie and jesus. and holden caufield. and all of the little stuff. and why he has to do what he does. and if the movie is abou possibility, love, alienation, or whatever. it terms of the plot and all of the time travel its really not hard to follow at all. all of the stuff involving the manipulated living and the portals and all of that is extremely easy to understand, especially when you watch the extended directors cut version.

well actaully it is a bit confusing...the end can be complicated since the movie doesnt really explain a lot of things, like out of the 5 people ive watched donnie darko with, only one really understood what had just happened afterwards. it took me about 3 watches to really comprehend. as for the jesus stuff etc., i really think thats just people stretching what happens a little..

i really dont think the jesus stuff is stretching at all.

there are many references to it throughout the movie. in the extended version if you listen to his poem its almost blatantly obvious that richard kelly wants you to make the connection. Hes dying for th people he loves.....some of the shots are christlike. Its almost tooo obvious. But thats just me.

well maybe your right, i havent really looked in to it too much. but now that i think about it, he does call that one guy the anti-christ, which (assuming they are mortal enemies) would make him jesus. i cant think of any christlike scenes though, then again, ive never read the bible.

Strangely enough I quite liked Bubble Boy. There's something endearing about it's heart, sure it's somewhat dumb at points, but it's ridiculously amusing. Also, October Sky is a wonderful movie. Day After Tomorrow sucks, but the rest are fine, even if The Good Girl is kinda meh and overtly dramatic.

and actually, if you get the movie, it is surprsingly deeper than most people give it credit for. the way the movie is set up gives it many different ways to interpret it. ive heard at least four different ideas and they all make sense.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Overated indeed, but I still love it

....that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

i love when people make comments like this. if anything, the directors cut is the dumbed down version for the people who had no idea what was going on in the original cut. the directors cut really makes it not as much fun going on becasue it takes away alot the interpretation that went along witht he original. you have no idea what you are talking about.....what you just said is a total fucking scenester comment....it has no credibility, its just said to be completely over the top and different.

the only problem with the original is that it didn't show roberta sparrow's book. which ties together the whole plot.

without it, there's no way to understand the tangent universe and shit.

The "tangent universe and shit" is not the only interpretation that the movie should be allowed. That's just the directors'.

I like the little pages, but they fit the plot of the movie too flawlessly. It makes it seem like that is exactly what is going on and leaves no room for other interpretations. But who really cares, they're a bitch to read anyway. All the scenes that were added are superb, and the rescoring is excellent.

[Slaytus]

i never ever understood this movie

i thought it was about some piece of an airplane goes to fast it goes threw time...and cuz donnie was crazy he dreamed about a bunny.

yep then again i only saw it once

I think this movie is very overated. I think people give it far too much credit and say you can interpret it how you want, when in actuality it just plays like a movie with a lot of scenes missing. Maybe a lot of people like that, I don't know.

Donnie Darko is a great movie, but it leaves most people scratching their heads wondering "What the fuck happened?".

For sure. I'd give DD a D-.

Have you seen Hard CAndy? the movie is pretty sweet.

I followed it just fine.

I like it, but people think it's wayyy greater and deep than it really is.

You people aren't reaching a new state of consciousness by breaking your brain over it. It's not that trippy, and there are no secret meanings. A fairly straightforward thriller.

one of my favorite movies.

I own it in 3 versions cuz people thought itd be my kinda film. I do think its a very good film but its overrated and nothing truly amazing.

I don't like movies that think they make you think.

I used to like Donnie Darko a lot, back in the day.

Nowadays I don't really care that much about it.

If people are looking for a good movie to drop acid or do hallucinagens to, The Doors is a good one. And so is Bringing Out the Dead, the lights in that movie are sweet as hell.

its a really good movie. i loved it the first time i saw it. but after a few views its really not "incredible", but it does have a huge following. and in my book, any movie that has a huge following gets points just for affecting a vast amount of people.

They're all greased up and waiting. If you hurry, you'll catch them while they still have that new car smell
