It was sad yet beautiful. Donnie's final speech about breathing a sigh of relief because there will be so much to look forward to...moves me beyond words.
This movie is amazingly complex and beautiful. It is the original "Primer". The lore created in The philosophy of time travel is so detailed with the Primary and Tangent universe. Donnie Darko is super underrated and should have won many awards in my opinion.
Words can't describe the feelings I had, when I first watched the movie and this scene came...Donnie Darko Is sooo much more, than just movie, Its a life-changing experience!!! Couldn't get the movie out of my head for a Month after first time seeing it. Such a masterpiece of filmmaking!
2:13 - 2:44 is the hardest not to cry. What gets to me is knowing it's Jake's real sister, and that I have a sister..albeit 6 years younger. The acting feels authentic, and I can't help but picture how my family might would react to losing me tragically. The movie might be fictional, but the context...family tragedies happen all the time. Maybe not with falling jet engines, but drunk drivers, plane crashes, etc.
I always saw it as everyone remembers, but only like a dream. So imagine 30 days of life compacted into one night of dreaming. And dreams fleet, they are hard to remember after some time awake. That's why that FBI guy has that look, they all remember something about this from the dreams they had the night before. At least that's how I see it.
The most haunting thing about this whole scene is Donnie's mom. Everyone else is crying or in shock.(like his younger sister) His mom is already accepting of what happened. Not that she isn't sad. Just like she knew he was going to die one way or another. By his own hand or another's. And all she can do is accept and move on.
I remember first seeing this movie when I was young and finishing it I watched it like three times to understand it and seeing the ending brought me to tears so much emotions going through me great film
Dipolar Snow its like this song was made for this song .. “ familiar faces” all the people they show , “the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had” he wanted to die so he could look forward to his loved one living better lives .. it’s so awesome !
That's always the part that makes my eyes water, seeing his (real life and film) sister, and his dad (Holmes Osbourne) sobbing while they wheel Donnie's corpse out on a gurney. This film moves me beyond words.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I include Mary McDonnell as his mother there too - she has a less emotional affect in this scene, but after seeing her as the most emotional about worrying about Donnie through the rest of the film, you realize how she's just crushed, broken, gone numb in this scene. All three profound expressions of grief in different ways.
@@jerodast absolutely. The sad part is the last thing he says to her is calling her a bitch. Yet in the film when the rest of October plays out, we see warm moments between them like how he asks how it feels to have a wacko for a son and she says it feels wonderful. Clearly during this scene we do know the characters have memories from the alternate universe that Donnie prevented (Frank touches his eye, Swayze is crying and sobbing, etc). This film is absolutely amazing and breath taking. I'll never forget the effect it has on me. Life is beautiful.
I remember often watching this and reading the "theory of time travel" website with an old friend back in the school days; an insightful outsider I always kinda associated with the role of Donnie thereafter. I often coming back to this emotive sequence to stir up the feelings now that he's passed. Thinking of ya CZ.
Such a dark and beautiful film. This scene REALLY gets me. It's like they all wake up and still have memories of the Tangent Universe. The T-cut is MUCH better because the P-cut tried to explain way too much and it also really fucked up the music (which was already perfect).
You definitely haven't watched the movie enough. Yes they do remember the dreams, but not all of them. Chapter 12 of Roberta Sparrows Philosophy of Time Travel states this. (Not trying to say you are dumb or anything, just helping you understand your point.) Chapter Twelve: Dreams When the Manipulated awaken from their Journey into the Tangent Universe, they are often haunted by the experience in their dreams. Many of them will not remember. Those who do remember the Journey are often overcome with profound remorse for the regretful actions buried within their Dreams, the only physical evidence buried within the Artifact itself, all that remains from the lost world. ~~~This proves that Donnie knows what is about to happen, but has gone through the almost 28 days accepting his fate. Its why he didn't get up and walk out not letting the Artifact to hit him again.
Frank feeling his eye proves they remember or at least dreamt of the Tangent universe. The tangent universe is the Universe the movie takes place in, the primary universe is before the jet engine falls and when it kills Donnie.
I still remember watching this film for the first time late one night. This ending really stuck with me for over a decade. The way everybody is just there awake unable to sleep going through different emotions, and they just feel like something has happened that affects them, but they don't know what and most of them never will.
Donnie surviving the crash caused the death of his GF (can’t remember her name I’m sorry but I forget names all the time no matter how great a movie is) as well as Frank. Dying in the bed made him realise that everyone would be much better off without him. Even Cunningham was seen crying at the end so maybe he regretted his actions and may have turned himself in so the one good thing from the alternate outcome was not necessary so Donnie knew that the timeline where he died would be better. He wilfully sacrificed himself to save others This is why I love this movie and I only watched it for the first time this year 😭
To me this song, this scene shows the power of imagery and music, for all the dark souls and people going through something this shows all the emotions someone feels using art to showcase those moments when times feels like it s moving but we are not
This scene is amazing right here this whole film this whole movie is art such a classic and masterpiece should've won award outstanding performance and best director for dramatic movie like this it's dark it's Deep this movie 100% good from beganning to end.
The fact in the deleted scene, It shows he wasn't crushed by the engine, but rather stabbed by the falling debris actually makes sense. Otherwise they wouldn't beable to cart him out of the house like that. That'd need like... a vaccuum or something...
Why would it matter if he's crushed by the engine or stabbed by falling debris ... either way he's dead. Main message is that he used his ability to open a wormhole in time to sacrifice himself so that his lover would carry on to be alive ... thats the greatest sacrifice anyone can do for a loved one ...
I like how all of these people are basically going through such intense and silent emotions due to what they remembered in the parallel universe, and what happened to them in said universe. They're literally seeing into their own future, and they have to take in their destinies, leaving room to the possibilities of what they are gonna do now- embrace it or deny it.
By far the best movie ever made in my opinion growing older just solidified my belief. First time I watched this movie was when I was about 12 years old I'm 30 now and even back then I knew there was something special about it even though I didn't grasp the meaning and severity of the story
Found this vhs in my house back in the 90's early 2000's been one of my favorite sense and to find out other people know about this movie felt good since a lot of my friends didn't know it existed until I showed them
Craig Royce I was born in the early 90s when my mom graduated from high school as a teen I was born in 1991 this movie came out in 2001 I was ten years old that year a younger kid my childhood but this movie came out in our country on my birthday I turned 10 years old that year they got amazing cast in this movie Jake Gynellhall Seth Rogan Patrick Swayze and Drew Barrymore well known actors and actress the girl played in Saved with Home Alone guy as Kevin McAllister known as his real name my man Macaulay Culkin.
Looks like most of them remembers the other world line and his sacrifice. You can see his mom crying before she even gets out of bed with her expression, Frank touching the eye that got shot, his moms expression by the tree, the Chomo crying. All I noticed. Just my opinion. But Frank touching his eye with that expression definitely
It helps she has naturally the saddest looking eyes I've ever seen. But yeah I have to imagine "now imagine your brother killed overnight and being wheeled out on a stretcher" makes for a little extra method acting power.
My ex-girlfriend's fiancee's mother's neighbor loves this movie. She named her cat Bonnie Barko, but it would have worked better if she had a dog, but her landlord won't allow it.
With the release of the incredible new album by Tears For Fears I came here to say this song (a cover of their work) is amazing. In the context of this film, it moves me beyond words. I thank the creators for that.
If you don't know Richard Kelly's explanation of the film and/or have not seen the director's cut, the original theatrical cut is beautifully open to interpretation. (I much favor the theatrical cut.) When I first saw the movie, when we see Donnie back in his room near the end of the film, I thought he had just awakened from a dream and laughed hysterically because he was glad to find it was just a dream. Then when the engine came through, it was devastating, and this scene made it more enigmatic-as if everyone was just waking up as well. Given my interpretation of the theatrical cut, I saw it as roughly a science fiction version of Ordinary People (1980), with Donie as this film's Conrad. I still think of the film this way, and tend to ignore Kelly's explanations (which you can do with the theatrical cut, but not the director's cut).
if your life is a nightmare or just life itself seems to be becoming hell and dying in your dreams means you wake up, then his lyrics about his "dreams about dying are the best he ever had" make sense and are beautiful, death meaning an exit from the suffering of life and welcoming it gladly. sorry this is a little abstract. im trying to make it make sense.
The Piper Report I don’t think so. It was probably a connection for the audience but they never meet before so there is nothing other than a friendly wave to the Mom
Because they interacted in the alternate universe (the one where Donnie wasn't killed) it gives them a very faint memory of each other for a second in the primary universe, hence the wave
Lily Sanchez no, the director said when he was small he was a women standing at the edge of her hotel patio. She saw him and she waved and he waved back. He said it was small but significant, it stuck with him forever
It's like this whole movie happened in the quanta of time right between the jet engine crashing onto him and his demise. Like all of that flashed before his eyes in that miniscule of time.
Gretchen wouldn't have had the memories of Donnie because the engine crash chronologically happens in the beginning of the movie, which is before Donnie meets Gretchen. The entire movie after the initial plane crash exists in an alternate dimension, a dimension completely destroyed after Donnie shoots Frank and goes to bed. It just so happens that in the "real" universe, Patrick Swayze's character realizes the horridness of being a pedophile before Donnie exposes him, and other things. Since Gretchen did not meet Donnie before the engine crashed into his house, she would not know who he was.
Well, kind of. In the Primary universe when she rides her bike and saw the accident, that is when she came across Donnie for the first time and was having deja vu moment about what happened in the Tangent universe when she looked at Donnie's Mother. And that is why Gretchen waved at her.
Raramente una segunda versión de una canción supera a la original y me atrevería a decir que este es uno de esos casos con Mad World además de que esta escena es epica
So he wenat back in time and made the least worst outcome''? I was working in xtravision at the time (uk blockbuster, usa im not sure sorry) thats what i thought in my head when i was 18 and working in a dvd / vhs shop then. the only thing i remember was this movie was way ahead of its time. id love to go back
After all he saw in the world, I'm conviced Donnie didn't want to live in it anymore, therefore accepting his locked fate in this chain of events. Him not existing anymore will cause all the events he just experienced to never come to action. Yet they will have their justice met. 10 days later Jim cunningham (patrick dempsey) shoots himself on the 14th hole at the golf course, not being able to live with what he's done. His secret is never known in the primary universe, but it came to light in the Tangent universe. and was punished for it in the Primary Universe.
@@npcx-mq6cr "Mule kick to the soul" haha that is a perfect description for it. My friend used to call it "I want to kill myself sad" but your way has a little more subtlety.
Yes. It's both of his cool teachers, his English teacher (Drew Barrymore) and physics teacher (Noah Wyle). This is the reveal that they were in a relationship, as while we see them interacting earlier, nothing before this suggests they're a couple.
The one thing that gets me about the entire film, is how the mom is the only one acting like she don't give a fuck her son was just crushed by a jet plane, she just smoking her shitty ass cigerette can you say cold as hell much.
Smoking is an indication of weight, baggage, stress etc. 2:41 You can see the confusion & emotional weight trying to seep through. I think the ending also implies a strange sense of deja vu, she knows something doesn't add up. Just my own two cents!
red_leader evil no, frank never wanted Donnie dead. Donnie never had to die. The only reason he died in this scene is because he was okay with dying, that’s why he woke up laughing instead of just getting up and leaving his room since he knew what would happen. It didn’t matter if he lived or died after the tangent universe collapsed because he returned the artifact and the primary universe survived. Grandma death is proof that you can make it through the tangent universe and complete your goal and still survive, she was the one who wrote the book Philosophy of time travel, the book that Donnie was given by the science teacher that told him that she used to be a nun and one day out of nowhere she dropped all of it and wrote this book with all this information, that was basically the hint that she had gone through the same circumstances as Donnie and she survived, that’s why she whispers in his ear, “all living creatures die alone” because she knew what happens. The only plan frank had was to get Donnie to kill him so that he could travel back in time and save Donnie from the plane which would then lead him to sending the artifact through the portal at the end of the Movie safely collapsing the tangent universe. Frank never wanted Donnie to die and he never needed to die
Mike Honcho So....Why did he choose to die? What about his friends, his family, Gretchen; wouldn't he want to see them and....do anything he wanted? He had all of life before him, someone to spend it with .... I wish he hadn't died
gretchen was hit by a car that frank and some clown dude was in so gretchen would be dead and donnie shot frank in the eye which is why we see frank with one eye when we see him take off the mask.
Victory Games I don’t know why he chose to die but he did, all he feared was dying alone and once he woke up he wasn’t afraid anymore. That’s all I know because that’s all they show in the movie.
Fartzom did you not read any of our comments? He didn’t have to die. Grandma death was proof of that. He didn’t choose to die so that the bad things wouldn’t happen, it was over he didn’t have to die. He chose to die because he wasn’t afraid of dying anymore and that was his biggest fear
The ending of this film was way sadder than I thought it was going to be.
Such a good movie though.
Seriously. 😧
It was sad yet beautiful. Donnie's final speech about breathing a sigh of relief because there will be so much to look forward to...moves me beyond words.
+ "you knew him?"
- "No"
:(
A very cool movie that makes you think long after it's over. Best movie about a parallel universe.
David Edward don't you mean a Tangent universe
It's a time loop, not alternate
Right, Dr Strange love
@@pnut3844able It is an alternate universe. That's why they couldn't figure out where the plane engine came from, it was from a different universe.
Real Slim wrong. It's from the same universe. It's a time loop. The directors cut explains it all.
This scene hit me like a truck...or a jet engine
Ryan Terk first truck then jet engine

Beautiful
Such a wonderful moment from a show with so much heart.
except im pretty sure all the characters involved knew exactly what happened by the end.
Word.
'The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had' - that line sums up the film perfectly.
1:46 Frank is touching the eye where Donnie shot him...
ironic
that's only an indicator of an excellent script
It’s because he’s getting a sense of Deja vu, they all are.
Or poignant, which is how I've always taken it . . .
The guy turning around at 2:05 should get an Oscar for his performance.
always thought this.
Kevin Vinciguerra Mr. Howard eats pants.
Who wrote this? Who wrote this lie? Never in my entire life have I eaten one pair of pants.

Indeed. He owned that scene.

"The dreams in which I am dying are the best I have ever had" the reason why this song was perfect for this movie
The fact the dad had just cried is sad since he was more of a comic relief with Donnie
I always start crying when they bring Donnie out on the stretcher.
Who else cried during this scene?
I almost did
I did
Who didn't?
2:13 - 2:44 is the hardest not to cry.
What gets to me is knowing it's Jake's real sister, and that I have a sister..albeit 6 years younger. The acting feels authentic, and I can't help but picture how my family might would react to losing me tragically. The movie might be fictional, but the context...family tragedies happen all the time. Maybe not with falling jet engines, but drunk drivers, plane crashes, etc.
I lost it!!!
When Frank touches his eye I get chills every time
Yesssss. Omg.
He was having Dreams about his death
The ending of Donnie Darko is just....sad 😢

This scene at 02:28 is, in my opinion, one of the best depictions of grief and despair ever put to film. The father is very well acted!!!

Jiggley Krowzer What is a tagerent universe?
The universe where most of the movie takes place
You definitely haven't watched the movie enough. Yes they do remember the dreams, but not all of them. Chapter 12 of Roberta Sparrows Philosophy of Time Travel states this. (Not trying to say you are dumb or anything, just helping you understand your point.)
Chapter Twelve:
Dreams
When the Manipulated awaken from their Journey into the Tangent Universe, they are often haunted by the experience in their dreams.
Many of them will not remember.
Those who do remember the Journey are often overcome with profound remorse for the regretful actions buried within their Dreams, the only physical evidence buried within the Artifact itself, all that remains from the lost world.
~~~This proves that Donnie knows what is about to happen, but has gone through the almost 28 days accepting his fate. Its why he didn't get up and walk out not letting the Artifact to hit him again.

I love this sad song😢 It has always been a reminder of the past😢
I think everyone who woke up in the Middle of the Night were Dreaming of their roles to guide Donnie and when his life ended they felt it.
The fact in the deleted scene, It shows he wasn't crushed by the engine, but rather stabbed by the falling debris actually makes sense. Otherwise they wouldn't beable to cart him out of the house like that. That'd need like... a vaccuum or something...
Good catch.
This film doesn't hold your hand. It's about the bigger idea (which is hard to even explain), not the small details.

Why would it matter if he's crushed by the engine or stabbed by falling debris ... either way he's dead.

I FEEL MORTALITY
Filme maravilhoso
poor Donnie :(
Shouldn't the engine they haul away at the end be way more damaged after falling thirty-thousand feet?
What I don't get shouldn't Gretchen have memories too if most of them do?
Gretchen wouldn't have had the memories of Donnie because the engine crash chronologically happens in the beginning of the movie, which is before Donnie meets Gretchen. The entire movie after the initial plane crash exists in an alternate dimension, a dimension completely destroyed after Donnie shoots Frank and goes to bed. It just so happens that in the "real" universe, Patrick Swayze's character realizes the horridness of being a pedophile before Donnie exposes him, and other things. Since Gretchen did not meet Donnie before the engine crashed into his house, she would not know who he was.
Well, kind of. In the Primary universe when she rides her bike and saw the accident, that is when she came across Donnie for the first time and was having deja vu moment about what happened in the Tangent universe when she looked at Donnie's Mother. And that is why Gretchen waved at her.
Raramente una segunda versión de una canción supera a la original y me atrevería a decir que este es uno de esos casos con Mad World además de que esta escena es epica
eu me senti mal nessa cena :(
Why did you cut it off before the girl on the bike waved to the mother and the mother waved back? That was the best part of the scene.
So he wenat back in time and made the least worst outcome''? I was working in xtravision at the time (uk blockbuster, usa im not sure sorry) thats what i thought in my head when i was 18 and working in a dvd / vhs shop then. the only thing i remember was this movie was way ahead of its time. id love to go back
After all he saw in the world, I'm conviced Donnie didn't want to live in it anymore, therefore accepting his locked fate in this chain of events. Him not existing anymore will cause all the events he just experienced to never come to action. Yet they will have their justice met. 10 days later Jim cunningham (patrick dempsey) shoots himself on the 14th hole at the golf course, not being able to live with what he's done. His secret is never known in the primary universe, but it came to light in the Tangent universe. and was punished for it in the Primary Universe.
I don't think Donnie had to die, but I think he chose to. He already accomplished his purpose, he even laughs when the plane engine is falling.
Why is the pitch so much higher than in the movie?
I wish they woulda used Tears For Fears version since this is set in the 80s but I get it
head over heels is in an earlier part of the movie
Well would it be as sad?
That's what I originally thought too, and the TFF version is amazing, but this one really is more of a mule kick to the soul. It works.
@@npcx-mq6cr "Mule kick to the soul" haha that is a perfect description for it. My friend used to call it "I want to kill myself sad" but your way has a little more subtlety.
Bisogna che tutti si sveglino
What is the name of this film
Donnie Darko
Great Acting by Patrick Swayze and Jake Gyllenhaal!
Why is it in nightcore
Why is Jim crying?
in the film, he get arrested and accused of being a paedophile
but did you know that Darko is a transatlantic last name?
that's reason why mara wilson didn't act this movie
who is the second person in the bed?
I think its the physik teacher, am i right?
And souch a great scene
Yes. It's both of his cool teachers, his English teacher (Drew Barrymore) and physics teacher (Noah Wyle). This is the reveal that they were in a relationship, as while we see them interacting earlier, nothing before this suggests they're a couple.
The one thing that gets me about the entire film, is how the mom is the only one acting like she don't give a fuck her son was just crushed by a jet plane, she just smoking her shitty ass cigerette can you say cold as hell much.
She knows deep down that he saved the universe.
Smoking is an indication of weight, baggage, stress etc. 2:41 You can see the confusion & emotional weight trying to seep through. I think the ending also implies a strange sense of deja vu, she knows something doesn't add up. Just my own two cents!
E'la fine
Bella pioggia fuori
2:28 Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Who sings this song, honestly its good or ok song! 🤔👍
Jelena V this version was the cover of Mad World by Gary Jules (originally by Tears For Fears)
franks plan worked to kill donnie to come back to realality
red_leader evil no, frank never wanted Donnie dead. Donnie never had to die. The only reason he died in this scene is because he was okay with dying, that’s why he woke up laughing instead of just getting up and leaving his room since he knew what would happen. It didn’t matter if he lived or died after the tangent universe collapsed because he returned the artifact and the primary universe survived. Grandma death is proof that you can make it through the tangent universe and complete your goal and still survive, she was the one who wrote the book Philosophy of time travel, the book that Donnie was given by the science teacher that told him that she used to be a nun and one day out of nowhere she dropped all of it and wrote this book with all this information, that was basically the hint that she had gone through the same circumstances as Donnie and she survived, that’s why she whispers in his ear, “all living creatures die alone” because she knew what happens. The only plan frank had was to get Donnie to kill him so that he could travel back in time and save Donnie from the plane which would then lead him to sending the artifact through the portal at the end of the Movie safely collapsing the tangent universe. Frank never wanted Donnie to die and he never needed to die
Mike Honcho So....Why did he choose to die? What about his friends, his family, Gretchen; wouldn't he want to see them and....do anything he wanted? He had all of life before him, someone to spend it with .... I wish he hadn't died
gretchen was hit by a car that frank and some clown dude was in so gretchen would be dead and donnie shot frank in the eye which is why we see frank with one eye when we see him take off the mask.
Victory Games I don’t know why he chose to die but he did, all he feared was dying alone and once he woke up he wasn’t afraid anymore. That’s all I know because that’s all they show in the movie.
Fartzom did you not read any of our comments? He didn’t have to die. Grandma death was proof of that. He didn’t choose to die so that the bad things wouldn’t happen, it was over he didn’t have to die. He chose to die because he wasn’t afraid of dying anymore and that was his biggest fear
I knew it.
well... Yvonne has to kill me... I am wating...
Sto per finire la batteria
37... the mark of the devil (in ny). This number appears to have some kind of urban legend in NY. Do you know?
