[Mumm Ra]

i just remember it being extremely weird...i saw the dvd extras one time and i think they explain it better but i cant remember

Looking for a point is a big waste of time. The payoff is in thinking about all the things that have changed because of his death, that is where the greatness of the film lies. There is no moral because nobody can travel back in time.

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

so i am kinda right to even think it has something to do with time travel or the concept around it

[JASPER BEARDLY]

first of all in one of the final scenes right after the engine crash, everyone is waking up and their responses are triggered by their remembrance of what they did in the tangent universe

eg. when jim cunningham is crying, the bemused faces on the teacher who discussed time travel with him and couldn't answer his later questions because of the school, the english teacher.

in the tangent universe your behavior is different from normal, for instance when the english teacher tells the girl to sit next to the boy she thinks is cutest or w/e she says I forget the exact quote


he is on placebos, he is not crazy i think you had to watch deleted scenes or the director's cut to see that

[JASPER BEARDLY]

one thing he says to his therapist on the subject of god, is that he has stopped debating it. "I guess that makes me an athiest" when he talks to his therapist, she asks him something like what worries him and he responds, "what's the point if we all die alone?" i forget if this next part is a deleted scene or in the regular cut but she informs him that he is not an athiest like he had earlier told her he is. Since he does not deny the existence of god but merely feels there is no way of knowing; he is agnostic.

In his conversation with Mollitov the male teacher it's clear that time travel is possible if there is an existence of god. Donnie is following God's channel when he follows the thing that comes out of him, when he is at the right spot in order to time travel ("The sky will open up"),

At the moment before he dies after having traveled in time, Donnie laughs. He has reached peace with life.

explains it well

[check two]

Is the sequel any good?

[JASPER BEARDLY]

Haven't seen

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

good looking out saverio and the whole idea behind a sequel to this movie existing makes me cringe

[RzaRectum]

Axe sosa. He can probably tell you.

[JASPER BEARDLY]

I think it's based on his sister and she's a manipulated dead in it, so I begrudgingly respect it.

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

ok now that might entise me to check that out

[JASPER BEARDLY]

it's also not by the same writer/director, so i like that he's not cashing in on it, hopefully they kept it true

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

yea no doubt
