shit eek
i totally see that now, i'm just not sure if the movie is really based around the mom as supa mused before
but i'd like to watch it again to figure it all out

i'm still confused by it after the many times i've seen it
it really freaked me out last time though, i'll have to build up the will to watch it again...


Well this wasn't something I even thought of until the end. I remember watching that movie like a hawk so I could give my report to Byron lol But yeah, the whole movie is focused on Donnie and you see everything from his perspective but that scene at the end where the mom is smoking the cigarette and all detached and seemingly satisfied it just hit me that the whole thing might have been in her head. And I even thought that she might have killed her own son to "put him out of his misery" so to speak and that she concocted the whole plane engine crashing on the house to justify her murdering ways. nod

lol ok now i dont know what to think!
murder? his mom? murdered him?
figuratively speaking?
...the little artist that could...

There's also the theory that the whole shibang was all just in Donnie's head, something he dreamed/hallucinated in the seconds before his death (much like the story "Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge").


Kind of like your life flashing before your eyes but it's a fucked up version? lol

lol Yep lol nod...It's also been described as "It's A Wonderful Life", except in reverse lol (what would have happened if you had lived)...

I've never seen it! There are a lot of films I haven't seen (hazard of growing up in a town where the nearest movie theater is 45 miles away and not having cable). Maybe I'll add it to my netflix, but I don't think I really have any desire to watch it... shrug




Well not now that we are spoiling it for you! lol Watch it and report back on your theory! biggrin


I didn't read any of the details so nothing is spoiled. I think it's one of those films that will inevitably be disappointing (to me) because it has such a cult status/following. All the NY hipsters seem to like it and my tastes in film aren't really 'hipster'.

Most people who see it absolutely love it. But those who don't absolutely hate it lol lol...I've met very few people who have been in the middle and said "It was ok".


You can't. There just can't be one person on the planet lol Either you are bound by it's brilliance or seeking release from it's stinky cheese feet lol

lol ok now i dont know what to think!
murder? his mom? murdered him?
figuratively speaking?


Literally. The bitch was crazy all her life, her son inherited her craziness and something made her slowly snap to the point of needing to kill her own son in order to rescue him but the delusions were all hers.

Kind of reminds me of this outer limits show I once saw. A woman is walking down the street and she is attacked and raped by this man. She wanders home a fucking mess and her husband comes home later to discover her just a pile and a mess and he's like

What's wrong!?!

I was raped


Well he flips the fuck out and grabs her and tells her to take him to where it happened. They go and the attacker is not there so he decides to drive her around the city. Finally she sees her rapist and she yells and screams from the passenger seat pointing to a man on the street

that's him! That's the guy that raped me!!!

The husband stops the car and walks up and shoots the man to death. They start to drive home and a few blocks down the street the woman becomes hysterical and screams

that's him! That's the guy that raped me!!!

And the husband realizes with dawning horror that he killed an innocent person and his wife had completely lost her mind.
