Donnie Darko †English assignment Essay

Donnie Darko is a film by Ric securely Kelly from 2001, with Jake Gyllenhaal in the master(prenominal) lead. The film is supposed to wait like its from 1988. The film is roughly a schizophrenic teen that lives in the Ameri evict suburb of Middlesex. When an un win it onn giant plane engine crashes into his room, a chain of mysterious events is triggered. Donnie is plagued by visions of an evil-looking rabbit named firedog. Who makes Donnie commit acts of violence, and tells him the world will end in 28 days. hot dog is the boyfriend of Donnies sister Elizabeth. The blustering who speaks to Donnie is a manakin of ghost Frank a remnant of Frank, because Donnie shoots him in the eye at heart the Tangent Universes 28 days and can head for the hills freely in time throughout the Tangent Universe.Compare Donnie to oneness or two of the characters in the short stories we bind read roughly the topic In all the meter readings we have mounte in the a nonher(prenominal) texts from Context, the subject have been growing up. All the other readings have been about different children growing up in different environments, though any of them havent got any psychological problems. I dont believe that any of the characters from all the other readings we have done, that at that place are any personalities like Donnies. Donnie is suffering from schizophrenic. People with schizophrenia a good deal suffer terrifying symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or seen things not seen by others. That is why Donnie ofttimes is seeing a therapist and why he is on medication. though there is The Sin Bin or Lucys Heart reading where Lucy is been told to do mean things to a girl named Penny by Bethan.Which she decline such as Donnie also does. Just like Donnie is been told to everyplaceflow the school. exclusively I dont think any of our readings can be compared to this movie. All the readings we have read takes subject in bulling, a hard way to g row up and so on. There is no great meaning in texts. In Donnie Darko there is a meaning with everything he does and with every thing there take place in the film. Frank makes Donnie flood the school, giving the lucky students a break from classes. And and then he walks Gretchen home and convince her to go with him, and says he is happy the school flood, or else he hadnt had that conversation with her. So I believe Frank made Donnie do it, so he could meet Gretchen.How can the game of the film be explained? Can it be explained in more ship canal? The plot can definitely be interpreted in more ways. I also think many people doesnt snuff it it, in the way its supposed to be interpreted. Or possibly its actually supposed to be in a way, which can be discussed over a longer time and interpreted in many ways. Ive myself used a lot of time discussing this movie. I would rather do some short but very interest sites of some of the main characters, and what I think is the deeper meani ng of some of the characters.I see Donnie as Jesus he died to save mankind still as Donnie did. Frank I see as Satan, deceived Donnie for his own benefit. Roberta dunnock as God. I feel like she is the facilitator of all this. She once was a nun, she wrote the book on time travel and she feels Donnies letter is coming. then(prenominal) there is the Chinese girl Cherita, whom you dont see of meet that much, but I cant shut off thinking that she is Donnies Guardian Angel? She always seems to be behind Donnie watching over him, and she has a notebook about him. I dont know if that is a right observation, but I cant stop thinking that way and I am not even religious. signalize on the ending of the film how can it be interpreted? Donnie is having a Halloween party, where Gretchen is with him. Donnie goes to the fridge where a note is saying, Frank left to go get beer. Then Donnie takes Gretchen to go see Roberta Sparrow, Grandma Dead, because times almost op. two thugs then att ack Donnie and Gretchen, which are two guys from their school. One throws Gretchen onto the ground the other holds a knife to Donnies neck. Roberta is standing in the middle of the channel and a car tries to avoid her but then hits Gretchen and kills her. The driver is Frank this is the real Frank Donnies sisters boyfriend. Donnie gets scared and stir and shoots him in the eye.With Gretchens body at his side, Donnie watches a storm begin. Donnie then remembers what Gretchen said about taking back all the bad things and renew them with something good. Donnie then goes back in time trough the wormhole and changes the future with him staying in bed. With him staying in bed and the crashing hits their house Donnie gets killed. Gretchen lives on, without ever knowing Donnie. I think Gretchen feels some kind of dj vu when she sees Rose. Gretchen actually doesnt know Rose yet, but she did before Donnie went back in time. You get the heart that Rose and Gretchen seem to recognise each other by _way they look at each other.
