the paths of life...

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2005)

Donnie Darko is a film that at least in my opinion can be given many interpretations, or otherwise subjective and symbolic meanings; It portrays the paths that are meant to be followed in life, some believe by a higher power or maybe by destiny itself. The book " The philosophy of time travel" is essential for understanding the film's main plot, which has to do with time or time travel if you want to be more specific, this helps you understand what was Donnie's intended path of life and how one event can change the future of the world we live in. That's why Donnie laughs at the end of the movie, because he truly understands his path, an how it influences the people that were supposed to be a part of that " path of life", he saw it in his dreams and was able to make an interpretation of his own while seeing what the end of the world meant, for him at least.
