Donnie Darko it's one of my favorite movies. I like it because it made me think, and still does sometimes. Here in Portugal almost no one knows it. When I saw it, i'd never heard of it, so i didn't expected anything. It was so great, that i trully fell in love with it! ^^ I saw it another couple of times and put all my friends watching it, but only a few of them liked it. Because Donnie Darko it's a very complex film. It makes you think about life, love, time travel, revenge, the consequences of your acts, god, society... you can take a lot of conclusions and still don't reach anything at all.
The director's cut helped me understanding the movie. I had to see it. I was trying to find the answer and thinking about it all the time. But then I realized that the real purpose of the movie was to make you think.

I don't know about not being able to reach anything at all, if not I don't know how we have thousands of posts between us on this board. There's no definitive answer where everybody agrees I'll give you that, but many themes and perspectives (which can be found through searching on here) have been created and discussed and helped me think about things I may not have by myself. With that said... Welcome To The Board.

Thanks! ^^
Well, I think we have a lot of posts because there are a lot of theories. But I don't know if we know what's the real message of the movie. Maybe the purpose it's just to make us think.
Sometimes I think Donnie Darko is just another movie. We have a boy that goes to school, he finds love and in the end saves the world. But we, like common humans, need more than that.

And I hope you agree with me when I say that it is a common goal for all of us to try and find a conclusion which includes all these theories woven together and united, but there are just so many different possibilities that it is overwhelmingly difficult and impossible because there are so many opposing theories...

Yes, I think this is the beauty of everything: people thinking together, changing thoughts and having good conversations.
I'm so philosophic today! =D

That's interesting because over here College would be the better time to do it. In College you're supposed to be treated as an adult so when you speak up against teachers it's less of a shock. I told a College teacher of mine to "Fuck off" for disrespecting me and all she did was scream get out which I then responded "Wow giving me the day off is a punishment I have to get in trouble more from now on" leaving all my classmates laughing. Then again don't follow me, I have a real problem with being told what to do lol. Are you kidding? I would be kicked out of class. Meaning I won't be able to attend class anymore. But I wouldn't really care because hey less studying for me right? lol.

I guess that's just how society differs in different countries. Yeah, sure.. I mean, you just wasted a couple of hundred, maybe thousands of dollars on a class that you won't even care to take... Appearently people like to waste money now-a-days... College is free here and I'm a renegade I shall never back down from a teacher.

My friend in University called a teacher a prick outside of lesson time when he refused to help him with some worked he missed through illness and the teacher "accidentally" lost a big project he did. You gotta watch who you offend here, the grades mean a lot more.
