Donnie Darko

Childish Gambino’s album, “Because of the Internet”, somehow connects to my interpretation to this movie which I still don’t understand but both pieces of media feel very similar to me. The first time I watched Donnie Darko was around 7th-8th grade and I never really understood for what it was but I really enjoyed the mystic of it all. I am in the 11th grade now and before watching a “Donnie Darko ending explained!” youtube video, I understood a good chunk. Although I managed to break this film down, majority of my theories before seeking others perspective of this movie were abolished because I never thought a director would go so much into depth and detail in the process of creating a film, just like memento. I think thats we’re I see the connection between Childish Gambino’s album and this movie because both are beautiful structured and hold underlying themes. Donnie Darko is, was, and will always be an amazing movie to me and its themes of theology, science fiction, and fantasy are one of my favorite combinations to see when watching a movie.
