Think about these while you watch

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2006)

I've watched this movie last year and i didn't really understand it. i decided to watch it today and see if i could understand it anymore. so far i have picked up on a few things that are good to know and examine while you go throughout the movie. First thing i noticed...Jim Cunningham. A wise man once told me that writers often use characters with the initials JC in order to represent Jesus Christ and that character is the savior of the story. I just paused the movie, I'm about half way done with it so i cant further comment on how Jim Cunningham could possibly live up to this expectation. Second, the word fear comes up an awful lot. This fear is also linked back to Jim Cunningham with his tape about losing fear. Again, I'm not entirely sure what the connection is except for god and fear are related and when you relate those words there is so much to be said. Third of all, i thought i read a comment earlier about Donnie being schizophrenic and i just paused the movie after his psychologist told his parents that his visions were a common thing among paranoid schizophrenics. the parents didn't look surprised so I'm assuming that yes, he is in fact a paranoid schizo and that is why he is taking his medication.
