Story: |
Some may think that Donnie Darko is a typical maladjusted teenager. Actually,
Donnie is borderline delusional, beset by visions of a monstrous rabbit, which
is trying to keep him under its sinister influence. Prompted by this apparition,
Donnie commits antisocial acts while he is undergoing psychotherapy, surviving
the vagaries of high-school life and romance, and fortuitously escaping a
bizarre death from a falling jet engine. Donnie battles his demons, literally
and figuratively, in a series of intertwining story lines that play with time
travel, fundamentalist gurus, fate, predestination and the machinations of the
universe.
