Message: <blockquote data-quote="Look_a_Unicorn" data-source="post: 2048423" data-attributes="member: 11886">Ooh- just realised my offhand comment on my female friends could be taken in too broad a sense- more specifically one female friend didn't like the way Donnie Darko caused her to rethink a period of her life where she seemed to be intellectually alienated from everyone else (just as Donnie could see things noone else could and suffered for it). The other friend is very much a wuss when it comes to any kind of scary movies- Frank in the bunny suit was enough to make her stop watching and go to the next room- brought to mind nightmares. Finally another female friend loved watching it, but then couldn't find a DEFINITIVE understanding of how everything was meant to hang together, and got frustrated.Most of the guys I know either never said anything one way or the other or were happy to talk endlessly given sufficient beer supplies <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />When you take into account that the Donnieverse was parallel, then sequences of events were not necessarily paradoxical-even time travel- as they occured in two seperate realities with undefined rules regarding interference between one and the other. (It appears as though those who died in the alternate-verse can ascend to a higher level of knowledge and then begin to interact with events from the period of time that the Donnieverse diverged.)The twist at the end of Memento really tweaked my interest. Great movie. I'll keep an eye out for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- thanks for the tip.Edit- my brother got back to me with the book's name :"The philosphy of time travel"How could I forget that!</blockquote>
