This has a similar theme to The Butterfly Effect I reviewed a couple weeks ago. We're told a strange story of events that our lead tries to control, but I guess the universe just doesn't want to be controlled. It's an unreal world where Donnie finds himself manipulated by a character dressed in a rabbit costume.
The haunting melody of Mad World
as sung by Michael Andrews runs throughout the film. I'm sure the song pushed up my enjoyment by quite a bit. The lyric " I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad, that the dreams in which I'm dying, are the best I've ever had," evokes the darkness within the plot.Can one do right by doing wrong? Quite a question to ask on film.
