Donnie Darko - finally saw it

<< < (2/6) > >>

Sideways:
No... sadly.

Inlander:
Is that like the flipside of your proclaimed habit of answering "Yes" to a non-yes/no question?

EDIT: Oops, it was Switchblade who 'fessed up to having that habit.  In which case - huh?

sjbrot:
What's different about the director's cut? I've seen the original (which I enjoyed), and I've seen the deleted scenes seperately.

And, TheLoweringTide, which website were you at? Because the one I saw was just one large mindfuck of a puzzle.

Inlander:
The difference is that the deleted scenes, especially when incorporated into the Director's Cut, remove pretty much 95% of the ambiguity which made the film so fascinating in the first place.  Instead of "Huh?  Is this some weird twisted story about time-travel?  Or is it a big allegory about mental illness?  Or is it just a cool excuse to listen to a whole bunch of awesome '80s songs?"  It becomes more "Oh, so it is just some weird twisted story about time-travel."

That's it.  If you play around with it long enough you get to read some pages out of The Philosophy of Time Travel and some news reports/other things that make the plot explicitly clear.  I don't remember exactly what you have to do; it's been like 3 years since I did it.
