Donnie Darko

I hate “movies explained” videos because I think it’s on the filmmaker and viewer to interpret art in their own regard so I’ve tried to piece tg Donnie Darkos meaning in my eyes through 4 viewings (this one in theaters!) I have pretty much everything figured out I think like I genuinely get and understand nearly every regard and actually on this watch I thought it was rather obvious how much they make the point yet it’s still hard to pick up on the first watch. The only thing I truly don’t understand is charita chen like I seriously have nothing, for a while on this watch I thought she was meant to represent god but this falls apart in her last scene w Donnie her reaction doesn’t make sense to that interpretation. I really don’t know what she offers here I don’t get it and she’s way too prominently featured in the film to not serve a purpose but I really got nothing
