Very Surreal

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2003)

I think this is one of the best films to come out of the United States in recent times. It feels sort of like what you would expect to see in a David Lynch film, but easier to understand.
I'm not an expert on religion, but I think Donnie is kind of like a god like figure. Through his destructive acts he is giving these people around him a new life in the end, kind of like washing away thier pains and sorrow or maybe even thier sins. Through out the movie he follows a path of hints and symbols he sees along the way like following the path of God or the Rabbit. In the end he goes back to his room through the portal and kills himself to set these people free.
I see the the annoying teacher and the speech person as being the devil's tool. They seem to walk the rightous path but it's ironic how they play the part of the anti-christ.
I think the idea of time travel is interesting because all of us has something that we wish could be different in our past.
