Donny Darko is a political film

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2005)

Donnie Darko is a political film. When a plane crashes into a building it is not a random act of god, but there has to be other forces at work, the reason the film is set in the 1980's is that's when bush came to power, and the end of the world was set in motion. 'vote Dukasas' not bush (with hindsight) The world has been brain washed by TV, Donnie's dad was also falling into hypnotic states in front of the TV, Donnie is the supper hero who has been chosen by Frank to create a revolution and set things right, symbolised by the Grame Green book the destroyers.He wants to rip the present world apart and create a new order. perhaps the reason the film is so obscure is that it wouldn't sit easily on the west's shoulders that the hero of the film is the destroyer (aka freedom fighter/terrorist)yet the freedom fighter is him self delusional, perhaps he is confused by all the lies that the position's use to cover there own backs, to appear as pillar of society types, sublimest by Jim Cunningham, to conclude I think that the action taken by Donnie wasn't ideal, he died to make things better, but there was still a lot of victims left over by what he done, IE his family, but the alternative was worse. There were no winners
