I rewatched it today, one of Mike Leigh's top 3 movies.
5 Stages of Grief:
Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.



I disagree; I think there's very much a story ie., a young man's journey through a Fortean milieu not at all unlike the strange, cryptic experiences that have been recorded all throughout human history...and yet are often very difficult, if not impossible, for the person experiencing them to adequately explain. "Donnie Darko" is perhaps the most authentic cinematic depiction of a person's brush with the weird/paranormal/spiritual aspect of our universe.
