Donnie Darko 怵目驚魂28天（2001)

喜歡蟲洞、穿越時空之類的燒腦片，應該是從2010看Nolan的"Inception"(全面啟動)開始的，他的"Interstellar"(星際效應)大概是物理基礎最紮實的一部，沒想到這部2001的"Donnie Darko"走在更前面，且編導Richard Kelly當年才26歲(念南加大的他有位在美國NASA工作的父親，估計也是他的啟蒙者之一)，若能看出片中每個彩蛋背後的意義或要致敬的對象，就會同意Kelly蠻猛的，也會同意喜歡時空穿越的物理題材或習慣拆解隱喻的觀影者不該錯過這部佳作。

我認得Jake Gyllenhaal這位男主角是從他主演李安的「斷背山」（2005）開始。飾演這部片時他才二十來歲，劇中沒有人知道Donnie Darko夢遊經歷的情況下，他被視為患思覺失調症的青少年，也是滿口髒話又挑釁校方威權的屁孩。但為了破除預見28天後世界將毀滅的詛咒，他選擇犧牲自己生命來拯救所愛的人，還微笑著說任務完成要回家了--片尾躺在床上等著被飛機引擎砸死來扭轉未來...

最後這一幕配上的片尾曲，歌詞中有「垂死的夢竟是我做過最好的夢」...悲傷，竟能如此難喻。

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world

Enlarging your world
Mad world
