Question Description

Movies About the (Coming) End of the World – Donnie Darko

Like its cousin film Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Donnie Darko is a teen film that is also about the end of the world. The end of the world is imagined in a setting more familiar to us than alien invasion: American high school! Bullying. Halloween. Talking to a therapist. Taking medications. An upcoming presidential election.

What if you’re a troubled teenager with “intimidating” grades, and you start having visions of the impending end? You start receiving flashes of insight into a whole new universe, and a gradual understanding of your own role in it. Alienation does not come from a foreign source but from within, through a portal. Donnie Darko had a rocky release, too close to September 11 to become a hit. But since 2001 it has enjoyed a cult life unlike many other films, a life extended on the Internet.
