My son was a teenager when he brought this movie to my attention. He told me it was one of the greatest movies he had ever seen. I watched it and did not understand the depth that he understood at that time. Sadly he passed away in 2011 from a drug overdose. I feel he could not handle all of the worlds issues and possibly his trajectory was unacceptable in his mind. He saw the suffering of the world and carried the weight of their pain on his shoulders. He was only 24. Hearing your analysis of this movie helped me understand him and where he was coming from a little better, and brought me closer to his spirit. Thank you so much!
I've carried more people to their graves then I can count on both hands due to fatal drug overdoses, friends and family. The only comfort I take in it is that that's about the easiest way to go. Also that there's a possibility we choose our time and manner to die before we get here, so it may not be as tragic as we think. It's still tough to go on without them though. I haven't lost a child thankfully. I can't imagine how incredibly painful that must have been.
I am so sorry for your loss and I believe you. My brother too had the same struggles for the same reason. The pure hearted seem to carry the biggest burden. They don’t belong here.
I was alone in the theater when i watched this movie. A total « religious » experience. My absolute favorite movie. The first time i thought i understood what i lived through from my childhood... i could easily relate to the main character.
Your analysis of Donnie Darko and the tie to the Bhagavad Gita is very enlightening, Howdie. Many of us have been poking holes in this reality for ten years, not yet ready to give up the concept of free will. All of this makes more sense now what is "happening" to us, though the analogy is that we're just the needle playing in the record.
I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time and followed up with this analysis. Very very amazed by all of it. I am really appreciating what you have to offer. I probably would never have watched that movie. I thought it would be too scary... which the Frank character was, but I practiced breathing through the fear. Thank you for your work.
I really enjoyed that Howdie. I haven't seen this film in over 20 years. I'm looking forward to watching it again but with new eyes and your analysis in the back of mind. Thank you!
Finally watched it again after about 13 years and its much better now that I have more knowledge. Just wanted to potentially mention that in the movie Donnie wears the long sleeve shirt "Hobie" and is pronounced backwards as Eiboh (eye-bo) which in Japanese translates as Aibo and Aibou which is (Aibo) love; attachment; adoration and (Aibou) partner; pal; accomplice. It perfectly sums up the entirety of the movie with that one shirt if taken into this context. Great truth in this movie. Feels as if the manipulated living are the people who wear masks outside in the hot sun and the living receivers are those who sense something is wrong.
Or is just one of the most popular sporting, surfing and clothing brands of the 80s, so named for the creator Hobart Alter, who changed surfing for generations with her love of woodworking and later developed the note popular foam and fiberglass boards. Everything isn't a path to something else, if you keep that mindset you'll never see things for what they are, you'll just keep looking for something you won't find.
@@MrJasonshores364 True. Unfortunately, I didnt 'look' for another answer the reflection in the mirror literally looks like Aibo/Aibou to me from my studying Japanese. To someone who doesnt know other languages would see it only one way. Your re-ality isnt my re-ality. Each and all see re-ality differently. Thanks
One of my all time favorite movies. Also have read Bagavadgita. Excellent summary. Finished falling for truth and watched, Pleasantville and groundhogs day upon your recommendation. Going to rewatch Darko tonight. Thanks Howdie!
I’ve been studying the nature of reality since my early 20’s. 30 years later it’s become clear to me that I am in some sort of story or script. Once I started studying my astrological chart my inclinations that my life has a certain trajectory to it became very clear; undeniable actually. I’ve said for many years that one choice I can always make is to learn from my experience and expand my awareness around this existence. That being said I know many people that can’t seem to make the same choice but are able to direct their lives in ways I can not. So I wonder if my choice to learn and be self aware is actually “My” choice as well. I suspect it’s also an act of karma and chaos that I am able to make the choice of self awareness and learning. Whatever the case I desire to be more in contact with my essential flow rather than my conditioned self’s idea of what should be. So I pay attention to the guidebook that has been presented to me. As I work to attune myself to the story I was actually born into I get a more clear sense of freedom. It’s the freedom to be in the flow or the channel of the truth I was born into. I think if we learn enough about that journey and it’s needs we get closer to creating our own story. For now we appear to be caught in a trap of sorts. It seems we are supposed to learn what needs to be done to get out of that trap. Very similar to the movie Jumanji where they realize they are in a game and have to follow the rules of the game and pay attention to their own strengths and weaknesses to win the game and GET OUT of it. An interesting part of that story is after they win the game they have to call out Jumanji’s name before being released. Maybe calling out The Deceiver is an important part of releasing it’s control over us. I’m guessing that’s probably right to some extent. My journey is to know release from fear and to support others in the journey towards Grace. That’s very clear to me. Blessings on the path.

You make some great points about the movie, I enjoyed that movie when it came out and even to this day. Thanks for relating its message. One thing I would say is one can neither prove nor disprove the existence of free will. It is an individual decision. Perhaps it is free will but with guidelines? Age old question why am I here, or is it be open search for truth ask and receive, and just go with it? Great points Hawdie, I started following your work recently and really love the approach. Also loved the point about people being awake just trying to help and tend to just sit there and don't do much, really hit a point with me. One thing I think we can all agree on is we are each on an individual journey, all of us, and we all have a role. All the best.

Very awesome video and clear explanation my brother!!! I truly enjoyed this video.. You have a true spiritual energy flowing through your existence.. I appreciate your wisdom and understanding,, the universe is lucky to have you... stay strong and never give up!!!! 1Love
A movie made by the universe...I like that concept, here's hoping it keeps sending more insights our way! Couldn't help flashing on "The Razor's Edge" during your analysis...it has a lot of the same elements.
Hi Howdie I recently discovered your channel through autodidactic. I've been really enjoying your interpretation of the many different topics. I watched this movie just to listen to your interpretation. I think you would enjoy a show called DARK on netflix, its the same premise of parallel time lines, unending loops, self sacrifice for humanity etc. I really enjoyed it myself and will be watching it again soon for more golden eggs. Much love.
I saw Donnie Dario once, several years ago, and I couldn't explain why, but it's always been deeply unsettling to me. Looking back now, and with this interpretation in mind, I have to conclude that it was a concept I was simply not prepared to understand, let alone appreciate. Reflecting on the film from this perspective, a lot of things suddenly start to click into place, and within that wider frame of view, singular aspects of the story begin to make much more sense.
Try watching it again now...even watch it in small 20 or 30 minute pieces so you have time to reflect on what you have seen. There are so many layers in it and it takes time to allow them to be fully seen
I started watching this this morning I had to stop it and watch the movie first, Great breakdown You derailed my entire day but it was worth it ..thanks buddy!
@@howdiemickoskitalks I decided to watch this movie again last night because it was so long ago that I first watched it, I could only remember bits and pieces. So I watched the movie on the 8th (Australia time) ....all very significant to me! I agree with your take on the movie....which I totally loved watching this time. Thanks Howdie. PS I'm glad you clarified the headphones scene....I struggled a bit with that. But I totally get it now!
That captures how reality as we know it exists...ripples through time connect moments that have yet come to pass can be identified with double numbers 88, 33, etc...These moments exist everywhere. Call them god wink's or synchronicities...I think the people that run this reality certainly have this knowledge and harness it to steer reality to suit their own needs...hence why this movie has some sort of esoteric association with Donald Trump's presidency coming to fruition in 2016... and quite possibly his death 33 years later from 1988 to 2021...Donnie Trump and Donnie Darko follow the same path
@@glennc100 80s pop songs were, unbeknownst to us then, offering us 'Truth Drops'. In '83 The Police released 'Synchronicity' containing Murder By Numbers, Every Breath You Take/I'll Be Watching You, Walking In Your Footsteps, 'significant' titles and lyrics.
I'd love to hear you do a more comprehensive analysis of Donnie Darko, this video was absolutely incredible and I'm dying for more. Finding this video strangely coincided with my getting a new translation of the Gita.
I just got around to watching DD exactly 8 months after Howdie posted this. So everyones comments were 8 months ago. I guess I was fated to do it this way.
So I watched it again today and wowwwwwww so much symbolism. The fact that Frank's first words are "wake up" is huge. It's strange to me that they changed the opening song as well: any thoughts? It used to be the echo and the bunnymen song and now it's "Never Tear Us Apart" at first I thought maybe it was a Mandela effect but no they actually changed it
Thank you so much for your insights! I never really 'got' this movie until now. I always felt there were significant gaps in my comprehension with previous viewings, so your spiritual compass bearings were massively helpful. Regarding the waves between Gretchen and Donnie's mother, and then the kid: my take is the kid's wave is a purely banal counterpoint to the poignancy of Gretchen's gesture. The neighbourhood kid probably saw the mother wave and mistakenly assumed she was waving at him.
Thanks for this video, it was really interesting and prompted me to rewatch the movie a few times. I had only vaguely remembered Donnie Darko, I think I saw it in 02 or 03. I can't remember exactly what I thought about it at the time. Probably just thought a odd drama with time travel. Being awake and looking things with new set of eyes can really blow your mind.
Found it quite interesting that you mentioned American Beauty here. I know that movie has some sprinkles of spirituality in there but the storyline is so straightforward that many completely ignore that element and disregard those little spiritual and religious overtones it has, at least on the first viewing. And I suppose it's not really worth a full esoteric analysis, but it's still a nice little film I'd recommend for people who haven't watched it. I have a very jaded view of Hollywood, especially having become aware of the ritualistic nature of that industry and its energetic effect on mass consciousness, but I found some level of sincerity in that movie at least. Maybe because of how you put it, "the universe made it". I have the director's cut of Donnie Darko on my PC. I've had it downloaded for a while, but I just never got around to watching it. But I will now, and the perspective I have of the movie from you and its symbolism with the Bhagavad Gita will allow me to enjoy it further than I would going in blind. Cheers.
I believe the universe is stepping in to help establish parity within our predicament. As the individual's perception of his plight becomes more focused, of course it translates out into the aether and the collective. The universe, along with this new age, Aquarius (transparency) is settling the lopsided score, not necessarily in our favor as much as it's showing us what it's here for. When we recognize we can make a difference in our own lives by simply willing it so, that participation can literally move mountains.
Just found your channel my way of your interviews with Jay Weidner. This is indeed one of my favorite movies, right up there with The Crow. I would love to see your take on Jacob's Ladder. Definitely a thought provoking movie as well.
88 is also Mercury...it's revolution around the sun is 88 days...the movie has a a theme of 88 or HH...mercury represents travel communication and magick
Interesting. 88 is like two infinity symbols turned upright. I have always thought that in time travel, to avoid paradoxes, you would have to actually go to the past of a parallel universe that was nearly identical to the one you left. Hence the side by side “Morbius strips” or “infinity symbols” to indicate a separate reality that you had moved to.
Very good analysis. And thank you for swearing because this "reality" cannot be described without the perceived vulgarity of "bad" words,particularly as of late.... We may need to invent some new and much worse ones if people don't drop the zombie act..
Thank you for letting me know about this movie. I am looking into it and will watch it soon- and yes Iwill do a video on it, it looks like "donnie darko 2" Cheers
@@howdiemickoskitalks yeeeees, very happy I could introduce it to you, it’s one of my all time favorites, I know you’re gonna love it. Can’t wait for the analysis vid 🙏🏼
Howdie, I really enjoyed your analysis of this movie. I saw it shortly after it first came out and loved it even though I wasn't "awake" to what was really going on in the world at all back then. Anyhow... after watching this video of yours, I coincidentally came across two more YT videos talking about the Donnie Darko film and the hidden meanings within the next few days. One of them didn't even have the name (Donnie Darko) in the title at all. Very strange.
Hi Howdie, thank you for your remarkable review. High quality videos I learn from enormously every time. I recently re-watched the film and was stuck by an idea I had about 15 years ago when I first saw the film. At the end during the spanning to the various characters I always had the thought that the main character women in the film were all variations of Roberta Sparrow that push Donnie to have the conditions in reality needed to execute his script. Forgive me I don't recall the adult women character names: Donnie's mother, his English teacher Drew Barrymore, the teacher/dance instructor, his therapist, and Roberta herself. I view them as the same character, perhaps operating in different channels, that create the opportunities that enable Donnie to do what he needs to do. Consider a small quick example of Donnie's mother crying on his bed with him, he asks, "how does it feel to have a wacko for a son", and she replies, "it feels wonderful" through great grief. He realizes in that moment he has the ability to impact her. I would love to hear your comments to this idea of the women being part of Donnie's script.
That is a real interesting idea, I had never thought of that. I do know that in Eyes Wide Shut there is only 1 woman who sort of is every part. But never thought to apply the same to DD...going to mull that over a bit this week.
I watched Donnie Darko right as the pandemic farse was starting. It was a free be from u tube...or l should say "the universe" thank you for that poetic analysis. I had just lost everything I had worked so hard for...my business. It was in ruins and I was so scared. Watching, I felt like I had been spiked with a dose of LSD. In realized the movie was incredibly profound. And that is all all I got from it at the time...just how profound my life had been all parts...all parts of it...perhaps especially the bad. I had know clue why I felt so moved. Thank you so much for explaining that to me. It means so much. I am now going to go read the bagvadit. Finally.
Fascinating, TheologyEd channel did some good work on the esoteric/Prophetic suggestions in Donnie Darko. DD=44, the music also seems encoded, Tears for Fears Head Over Heels HH 88, and the songs Under the Milky Way, The Killing Moon suggest astrology and fate vs freewill. Our current controllers with their dna modifying medication and restrictive measures seem to be drastically 'correcting' what they perceive to be the flaws in the human being and thus correcting/challenging God.
Donnie Darko is a great awakening movie but I also think the directors other film The Box 2009 has similar themes with Archon's and light's etc in it. I recommend you check it out 🤔
Any thoughts on what ever happened to deja vu? I having had one in almost a decade and I've been asking others for almost as long. Its as though they've stopped.
I watched this movie many times. Don't have a theory about WHY it all happens. Don't like the science explanations the movie makers gave. I do like that one of them said that characters/everybody? in the movie was being manipulated. I thought the (silly) bit about the Smurfs had to be the clue - the goodness of the Smurfs' way of life changed the heart of the person trying to destroy them. It seemed to me when Donnie tells Gretchen he burned down a house and has emotional problems, this is a warning to her. If she sticks around with him, she is going to end up dead. Which is what happens. (I also thought maybe Donnie had something to do with the disappearance of Gretchen's mother, though I don't like to make up extra scenes for movies). I thought when Gretchen waved to Donnie's mother at the end, the mother was like a vampire, picking her next victim. (Just my feeling). Like others who commented here, I thought Jim Cunningham (J.C., Jesus Christ) might have been innocent. Despite the complete idiocy of the school lesson about finding the wallet, there IS duality, there is attraction and repulsion/ Love and Hate/ Love and Fear. "We all die alone" is in many movies, I think Hemingway used it, or said it. I took it as an anti-Christ message, as is "You can do whatever you want ".
I didn't know that about the number 8. I've always been fascinated with that number. I used to write it over and over on everything. I remember being 12 years old and couldnt stop writing it on the shower wall while I was taking a shower. Weird memory to have but I remember it well for some reason. I just considered it my lucky number.
Wow dude, it's like you watched any netflix movie or series in the past decade and now you think your life is a movie too! Super unique! Super random! Wow! American truth is the greatest!
I'm still a bit confused on the connection to the Gita. In my understanding, Krsna's sermon is basically an expounding of the way to erase karma by being in sync with the universal flow, and by not acting based on personal feelings or rationalizations. A true Karmic Yoga.
Man you just explained my life at 23 minutes.. imagine seeing this movie when it came out on some mind altering substance. And people often wonder why I have gone off.
Maybe I have an explanation why the kid waves at the end of the movie. Each hand has 5 fingers. So Gretchen waves, mother too and then the kid. So we have 5+3=8. Number 5 is also very often in the movie and triple 5's.
First channel I've prepared for like a class. Maybe you could use the same process for other content. Like here's what's on tap. I realize this may create expectations and cause issue with spontaneity, but it was such a unique learning experience for me personally. May apply to others. You notified us of your intent to review the film. I watched the film. Made a few internal observations of what I thought I saw, symbolically speaking read many other reviews.
i did that a few years ago with a group for Pleasantville. Group of like 5 or 6. They watched the movie, and discussed it first without me. I just listened to their own insights. Then I added my own on top of it. Then we watched the movie together, and then had a 1 hour discussion of it after. It turned out to be so much of a learning experience for everyone.
Not sure if anyone knows the Christopher Nolan somehow got involved with this production and was the reason for the title screens (at least that’s the story that’s told)
12:00 - Without sin is without motive THanks for videos O:) *but if I hadn't heard someone else say "Sin is thinking and acting without motive" I would know what you are talking about
I keep thinking this movie is also subconsciously about Danny's own abuse bubbling to the surface inside his mind when Jim Cunningham arrives at school. Donny doesn't want his little sister to get harmed so he does what he's lead to do to expose and stop it from happening this time. 🌈 💜 🌈
Most probably is that the movie might have many layers. There is a youtube channel called "EntertheStars" and for some reason he did a video today about the movie. Please find the video "Donald Trump is Donnie Darko DRAKO" I think you would be surprised with his decoding.
Can the main reality death dissolve all other realities? If the main character, main reality is dead, will the others exist? Is that a possible scenario when a soul becomes trapped?
I can honestly say I know of at least 1 reality where I died in 1999. How many times I died in 1999 in other realites I have no idea for sure, but my guess just in that one car accident more than that one. So I know there are many me's dead, and many me's (like this one typing to you) still going on. I know it is really head warping stuff...I wonder since my stuff here can be so mind bending maybe I should do a live show one of these days, so everyone can ask questions and get clairifications directly rather than just as a comment or two here in videos. Just a thought.
Blue velvet ends with waving, along the same lines of American beauty and donnie darko if were talking lonely late age teenagers wondering around town vibe, American beauty being the older man trying to relive his wondering days
i loved this movie. great insights. have you seen the movie "the secret life of Walter Mitty"? there are lots of really great things in it tho it appears light-hearted on the surface. Ben Stiller is in it
There's something about that plane engine. The first engine came from nothing in that tangent. Unexplainable. The second had a seemingly tangible source.
It's a personal story for the director. His dad worked for NASA so he probably suffered mkultra and grew up in a really weird way...the time travel thing is just part of his disassociativeness, to keep him and us from focusing on his/her abusers and abuse
My son was a teenager when he brought this movie to my attention. He told me it was one of the greatest movies he had ever seen. I watched it and did not understand the depth that he understood at that time. Sadly he passed away in 2011 from a drug overdose.

Reflecting on the film from this perspective, a lot of things suddenly start to click into place, and within that wider frame of view, singular aspects of the story begin to make much more sense.
Try watching it again now...even watch it in small 20 or 30 minute pieces so you have time to reflect on what you have seen. There are so many layers in it and it takes time to allow them to be fully seen
I recommend you read Gary Renard - „The Disappearance of the Universe“ and all of Gary Renards books. 🙏
I started watching this this morning I had to stop it and watch the movie first, Great breakdown You derailed my entire day but it was worth it ..thanks buddy!
I wonder if it’s a coincidence that this was uploaded on Oct 8
I like that...never even thought of it til just now
Wow! The Universe speaks a-gain!
@@howdiemickoskitalks I decided to watch this movie again last night because it was so long ago that I first watched it, I could only remember bits and pieces. So I watched the movie on the 8th (Australia time) ....all very significant to me! I agree with your take on the movie....which I totally loved watching this time. Thanks Howdie. PS I'm glad you clarified the headphones scene....I struggled a bit with that. But I totally get it now!
That captures how reality as we know it exists...ripples through time connect moments that have yet come to pass can be identified with double numbers 88, 33, etc...These moments exist everywhere. Call them god wink's or synchronicities...I think the people that run this reality certainly have this knowledge and harness it to steer reality to suit their own needs...hence why this movie has some sort of esoteric association with Donald Trump's presidency coming to fruition in 2016... and quite possibly his death 33 years later from 1988 to 2021...Donnie Trump and Donnie Darko follow the same path
@@glennc100 80s pop songs were, unbeknownst to us then, offering us 'Truth Drops'. In '83 The Police released 'Synchronicity' containing Murder By Numbers, Every Breath You Take/I'll Be Watching You, Walking In Your Footsteps, 'significant' titles and lyrics.
Found you through interview with Robert Pheonix. So glad i did! Looking forward to getting to know your work
Cheers. Took Robert and I a little while to fully get to know each other, but once we did the interview just flowed along nicely
I'd love to hear you do a more comprehensive analysis of Donnie Darko, this video was absolutely incredible and I'm dying for more. Finding this video strangely coincided with my getting a new translation of the Gita.
I just got around to watching DD exactly 8 months after Howdie posted this. So everyones comments were 8 months ago. I guess I was fated to do it this way.
I’ve been anticipating this since you mentioned it in the last video. Watching it now!
What he said👍
I've already watched it, just haven't realized which timeline yet.
So I watched it again today and wowwwwwww so much symbolism. The fact that Frank's first words are "wake up" is huge. It's strange to me that they changed the opening song as well: any thoughts? It used to be the echo and the bunnymen song and now it's "Never Tear Us Apart" at first I thought maybe it was a Mandela effect but no they actually changed it
Thank you so much for your insights! I never really 'got' this movie until now. I always felt there were significant gaps in my comprehension with previous viewings, so your spiritual compass bearings were massively helpful. Regarding the waves between Gretchen and Donnie's mother, and then the kid: my take is the kid's wave is a purely banal counterpoint to the poignancy of Gretchen's gesture. The neighbourhood kid probably saw the mother wave and mistakenly assumed she was waving at him.
Thanks for this video, it was really interesting and prompted me to rewatch the movie a few times. I had only vaguely remembered Donnie Darko, I think I saw it in 02 or 03. I can't remember exactly what I thought about it at the time. Probably just thought a odd drama with time travel. Being awake and looking things with new set of eyes can really blow your mind.
Found it quite interesting that you mentioned American Beauty here. I know that movie has some sprinkles of spirituality in there but the storyline is so straightforward that many completely ignore that element and disregard those little spiritual and religious overtones it has, at least on the first viewing. And I suppose it's not really worth a full esoteric analysis, but it's still a nice little film I'd recommend for people who haven't watched it. I have a very jaded view of Hollywood, especially having become aware of the ritualistic nature of that industry and its energetic effect on mass consciousness, but I found some level of sincerity in that movie at least. Maybe because of how you put it, "the universe made it".
I have the director's cut of Donnie Darko on my PC. I've had it downloaded for a while, but I just never got around to watching it. But I will now, and the perspective I have of the movie from you and its symbolism with the Bhagavad Gita will allow me to enjoy it further than I would going in blind. Cheers.
I believe the universe is stepping in to help establish parity within our predicament. As the individual's perception of his plight becomes more focused, of course it translates out into the aether and the collective. The universe, along with this new age, Aquarius (transparency) is settling the lopsided score, not necessarily in our favor as much as it's showing us what it's here for. When we recognize we can make a difference in our own lives by simply willing it so, that participation can literally move mountains.
Just found your channel my way of your interviews with Jay Weidner. This is indeed one of my favorite movies, right up there with The Crow. I would love to see your take on Jacob's Ladder. Definitely a thought provoking movie as well.
I love your movie analysis. Please make more
Excellent. Thank you, Howdie.
This might be the best unintentional ASMR video about Donnie Darko
Great analysis! I’m looking forward to rewatching this movie. Thanks!
Thank you. I’m going to watch that movie now.
Very interesting, helpful, thank you Howdie.
88 is the number of time travel
88 is also Mercury...it's revolution around the sun is 88 days...the movie has a a theme of 88 or HH...mercury represents travel communication and magick
Interesting. 88 is like two infinity symbols turned upright. I have always thought that in time travel, to avoid paradoxes, you would have to actually go to the past of a parallel universe that was nearly identical to the one you left. Hence the side by side “Morbius strips” or “infinity symbols” to indicate a separate reality that you had moved to.
8i8 now it looks like a butterfly
Very good analysis. And thank you for swearing because this "reality" cannot be described without the perceived vulgarity of "bad" words,particularly as of late.... We may need to invent some new and much worse ones if people don't drop the zombie act..
All words are part of our language for a reason, and like you say, there is a time and place for every one of them. Cheers
Howdie, I have never seen this movie, but my interest is now peaked. Would be interested in your thoughts on the USA net work series of mr robot.
easily one of my favorite shows ever.
Mr Robot is a good one. Did you watch darko yet?
Not seeing Donnie in 2020 is a capital offence, you better be younger than the movie to get away with that
Very thought provoking, great video. The original cut of the film is the best, the director's cut changes some things.
Would absolutely love to hear your take on Mr. Nobody, this critique was amazing
Thank you for letting me know about this movie. I am looking into it and will watch it soon- and yes Iwill do a video on it, it looks like "donnie darko 2" Cheers
@@howdiemickoskitalks yeeeees, very happy I could introduce it to you, it’s one of my all time favorites, I know you’re gonna love it. Can’t wait for the analysis vid 🙏🏼
Howdie, I really enjoyed your analysis of this movie. I saw it shortly after it first came out and loved it even though I wasn't "awake" to what was really going on in the world at all back then. Anyhow... after watching this video of yours, I coincidentally came across two more YT videos talking about the Donnie Darko film and the hidden meanings within the next few days. One of them didn't even have the name (Donnie Darko) in the title at all. Very strange.
Hi Howdie, thank you for your remarkable review. High quality videos I learn from enormously every time.
I recently re-watched the film and was stuck by an idea I had about 15 years ago when I first saw the film. At the end during the spanning to the various characters I always had the thought that the main character women in the film were all variations of Roberta Sparrow that push Donnie to have the conditions in reality needed to execute his script. Forgive me I don't recall the adult women character names: Donnie's mother, his English teacher Drew Barrymore, the teacher/dance instructor, his therapist, and Roberta herself. I view them as the same character, perhaps operating in different channels, that create the opportunities that enable Donnie to do what he needs to do.
Consider a small quick example of Donnie's mother crying on his bed with him, he asks, "how does it feel to have a wacko for a son", and she replies, "it feels wonderful" through great grief. He realizes in that moment he has the ability to impact her.
I would love to hear your comments to this idea of the women being part of Donnie's script.
That is a real interesting idea, I had never thought of that. I do know that in Eyes Wide Shut there is only 1 woman who sort of is every part. But never thought to apply the same to DD...going to mull that over a bit this week.
Howdie, have you seen the analysis that is on know more news bitchute channel about this? Please take a look it is very interesting
I watched Donnie Darko right as the pandemic farse was starting. It was a free be from u tube...or l should say "the universe" thank you for that poetic analysis. I had just lost everything I had worked so hard for...my business. It was in ruins and I was so scared. Watching, I felt like I had been spiked with a dose of LSD. In realized the movie was incredibly profound. And that is all all I got from it at the time...just how profound my life had been all parts...all parts of it...perhaps especially the bad. I had know clue why I felt so moved. Thank you so much for explaining that to me. It means so much. I am now going to go read the bagvadit. Finally.
Have you seen "Number 23" with Jim Carry? Love to hear your analysis on this film
Thank you. Things are moving incredibly fast & I'm led channels & information, realizations like yours. I appreciate your work.
thoughts on the jogger, anyone? He always reminds me of the depiction of the jogger in the Iluminati card game.....
What’s your take on West World?
Fascinating, TheologyEd channel did some good work on the esoteric/Prophetic suggestions in Donnie Darko. DD=44, the music also seems encoded, Tears for Fears Head Over Heels HH 88, and the songs Under the Milky Way, The Killing Moon suggest astrology and fate vs freewill. Our current controllers with their dna modifying medication and restrictive measures seem to be drastically 'correcting' what they perceive to be the flaws in the human being and thus correcting/challenging God.
I would love to have your thoughts on the series Stargate SG1 ❤️❤️😘🙏
Fantastic insights Howdie. I appreciate you sharing with us.
Thoughts on the meaning of Cellar Door?
I’m not sure how I found your channel, but you’re definitely on to something.
I really enjoyed this...I’ve seen the movie a few times but not in a while...looking forward to watching it again, with new vision 🐰
Donnie Darko is a great awakening movie but I also think the directors other film The Box 2009 has similar themes with Archon's and light's etc in it. I recommend you check it out 🤔
Having not seen any of the movies that u have done the breakdowns for, I’m having a time following along on this one.
I agree that DD is a masterpiece of knowledge
Any thoughts on what ever happened to deja vu? I having had one in almost a decade and I've been asking others for almost as long. Its as though they've stopped.
Means you're not making new memories, it means you're stagnating and you're fucking up
@@r0br33r jeeeeethuth. Dang! Meanie.
I watched this movie many times. Don't have a theory about WHY it all happens. Don't like the science explanations the movie makers gave. I do like that one of them said that characters/everybody? in the movie was being manipulated. I thought the (silly) bit about the Smurfs had to be the clue - the goodness of the Smurfs' way of life changed the heart of the person trying to destroy them. It seemed to me when Donnie tells Gretchen he burned down a house and has emotional problems, this is a warning to her. If she sticks around with him, she is going to end up dead. Which is what happens. (I also thought maybe Donnie had something to do with the disappearance of Gretchen's mother, though I don't like to make up extra scenes for movies). I thought when Gretchen waved to Donnie's mother at the end, the mother was like a vampire, picking her next victim. (Just my feeling). Like others who commented here, I thought Jim Cunningham (J.C., Jesus Christ) might have been innocent. Despite the complete idiocy of the school lesson about finding the wallet, there IS duality, there is attraction and repulsion/ Love and Hate/ Love and Fear. "We all die alone" is in many movies, I think Hemingway used it, or said it. I took it as an anti-Christ message, as is "You can do whatever you want ".
I’m years late but I hope to see your take on American beauty as well 💕
I didn't know that about the number 8. I've always been fascinated with that number. I used to write it over and over on everything. I remember being 12 years old and couldnt stop writing it on the shower wall while I was taking a shower. Weird memory to have but I remember it well for some reason. I just considered it my lucky number.
Wow dude, it's like you watched any netflix movie or series in the past decade and now you think your life is a movie too! Super unique! Super random! Wow! American truth is the greatest!
I'm still a bit confused on the connection to the Gita. In my understanding, Krsna's sermon is basically an expounding of the way to erase karma by being in sync with the universal flow, and by not acting based on personal feelings or rationalizations. A true Karmic Yoga.
Great breakdown...thanks, Howdie
Wow, had no idea what this movie was about but saw that Howdie referenced it. Watched on Oct 8th too
I think somewhere you have mentioned Dark City... will you eventually review Dark City?
Howdie's good friend Matt from Quantum of Conscience has done Dark City.
9:10. Deep
GREAT overview and break-down. Thanks for that! Coincidence this was released on Oct, 8? : ) -EB
Man you just explained my life at 23 minutes.. imagine seeing this movie when it came out on some mind altering substance. And people often wonder why I have gone off.
Is 88 also a reference to Nazism? I know nothing about the subject but I heard it said in a Homeland episode.
Maybe I have an explanation why the kid waves at the end of the movie. Each hand has 5 fingers. So Gretchen waves, mother too and then the kid. So we have 5+3=8. Number 5 is also very often in the movie and triple 5's.
First channel I've prepared for like a class. Maybe you could use the same process for other content.
Like here's what's on tap. I realize this may create expectations and cause issue with spontaneity, but it was such a unique learning experience for me personally. May apply to others.
You notified us of your intent to review the film.
I watched the film.
Made a few internal observations of what I thought I saw, symbolically speaking
read many other reviews.
i did that a few years ago with a group for Pleasantville. Group of like 5 or 6. They watched the movie, and discussed it first without me. I just listened to their own insights. Then I added my own on top of it. Then we watched the movie together, and then had a 1 hour discussion of it after. It turned out to be so much of a learning experience for everyone.
Not sure if anyone knows the Christopher Nolan somehow got involved with this production and was the reason for the title screens (at least that’s the story that’s told)
The kid waves because he thinks the mom is waving at him. It's just an innocent little humorous moment I think.
Love this movie
"Donnie Darko" = 33 (Septenary)
"R SPARROW" = 88 (Reverse Ordinal)
"ALONE" = 88 (Reverse Ordinal)
1988 + 33 yrs = 2021. Reset this fall.
12:00 - Without sin is without motive THanks for videos O:)
*but if I hadn't heard someone else say "Sin is thinking and acting without motive" I would know what you are talking about
All of these numbers also reduce to 7 in numerology, which is a highly spiritual number.
I keep thinking this movie is also subconsciously about Danny's own abuse bubbling to the surface inside his mind when Jim Cunningham arrives at school.
Donny doesn't want his little sister to get harmed so he does what he's lead to do to expose and stop it from happening this time.
🌈 💜 🌈
Those who can see the magic of life are forever altared and see they things

I’ve never watched Donnie Darko, but I have been a student of the Bhagavad Gita. Now I’m intrigued.
How about how Gretchen rides a bike at the end, almost like she’s Donnie
First viewer of this vid....will comment later. Thanks Howie.
Which reality?
Love your content...a little difficult to hear you though. Can you increase mic volume?
Howdy, I'm pretty sure that REM sang Mad world not Tears for fears. Just info.😅
Tears for Fears wrote the original. Gary Jules did the version in Donnie Darko
In the age of internet that is an awful mistake to make.
Most probably is that the movie might have many layers. There is a youtube channel called "EntertheStars" and for some reason he did a video today about the movie. Please find the video "Donald Trump is Donnie Darko DRAKO" I think you would be surprised with his decoding.
Brainlets associating current events with current zeitgeist is not worth shilling, thanks!
How can I have free will if I don't exist?
Can the main reality death dissolve all other realities?
If the main character, main reality is dead, will the others exist?
Is that a possible scenario when a soul becomes trapped?
I can honestly say I know of at least 1 reality where I died in 1999. How many times I died in 1999 in other realites I have no idea for sure, but my guess just in that one car accident more than that one. So I know there are many me's dead, and many me's (like this one typing to you) still going on. I know it is really head warping stuff...I wonder since my stuff here can be so mind bending maybe I should do a live show one of these days, so everyone can ask questions and get clairifications directly rather than just as a comment or two here in videos. Just a thought.
My feeling on the blond boy at the end waving to Donnie's mother? That was another incarnation of Donnie and he felt the connection.
It occurred to me it's in part a 23 year old sharing what he felt as a 16 year old.
Blue velvet ends with waving, along the same lines of American beauty and donnie darko if were talking lonely late age teenagers wondering around town vibe, American beauty being the older man trying to relive his wondering days
Catch 22
i loved this movie. great insights. have you seen the movie "the secret life of Walter Mitty"? there are lots of really great things in it tho it appears light-hearted on the surface. Ben Stiller is in it
You should do one of the movie Southland Tales, made by the same guy, it's crazy and was very successful at mirroring our world at that time.
When one person so does someone else and so on imagine what that looks like on the astro plan plenty of food coming threw etc. 🤯
There's something about that plane engine.
The first engine came from nothing in that tangent. Unexplainable.
The second had a seemingly tangible source.
It's a personal story for the director. His dad worked for NASA so he probably suffered mkultra and grew up in a really weird way...the time travel thing is just part of his disassociativeness, to keep him and us from focusing on his/her abusers and abuse
Frank is Krishna... Donnie is Arjun... Thanks for this
Flight 2806
2+8+0+6=16
Which is 8+8🤔
