They Tapped My Dreams

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2010)

How did they do it? How did these Hollywood schmucks (because that is what I think of most of them) finally make a piece of art tapping into universal dream life and thought? Anyway, Donnie is whomever you wish him to be--your secret self, your tortured adolescence, your unknowable friend, life in general. He wanders alone, finds out whatever he can about life alone, and dies alone. It is the predicament of all humans. What in the end is the meaning of anything? Things happen, we're pulled into them and left to decipher things later. Everyone gives an opinion about what 'we' have gone through or felt. We go from wondering if it is a god's will or fate to the simple fact that it is. God is just another explanation (rather a childish one) of what is. If we are honest, nobody from the afterlife has visited us and no beings who aren't there speak to us. We imagine these things at times, particularly if we are schizophrenic. It is still fun to see images on the screen coming as close to an understanding of things than anything else. Unless Santa and the Tooth Fairy pop up on our doorsteps (That's a lot of doorsteps!)to reveal all the hidden facts about life, this will have to do.
