Skin Rash That Itches And Looks Like Scratches

S. Darko

Donnie has also had a sister, but St. Darko, the sequel to Donnie Darko apocryphal, it is not even a distant relative of the original.
lacked the stigmata of Richard Kelly, author of the first episode, the film about Samantha, sister of the protagonist (the listless Daveigh Chase), it is a grim rimasticatura ideas of the previous story. In fact, a sacking.
Because if time travel, alternate universes and sleepwalking still speaking, the parties have changed in the vision of Chris Fisher, director of the operation, is not to indoctrinate Frank the bunny on the end of the world but S. itself, At the zombie version, which launches curses and commands to the unfortunate duty, a veteran of Iraq overwhelmed with fear (Iraq Jack to his friends), temporarily saved from the fall of a meteorite.
The rest is pure abuse of images and ideas which have proved successful: the wormhole and the like, which overturned the story twice (making it totally useless to the first part), false appearances (in place of the guru is the priest pedophile pervert who creativity), the provincial environment (instead of high school, the town on the road of Conejo Springs, where Corey S. Amica end up a failure in the ignition).
absent, however, the strengths the predecessor apart from the melancholy and terror was replaced by a uniform flatness descriptive, lacking social criticism, guilty bartered with a litany of stereotypes (the puppet of which falls in love with Jimmy Dean Corey, the repressed nerd that we find hands a piece of meteorite initial sbarellando consequently, the unfailing child ghost). Only survivor in the general wreck, and Elizabeth Berkeley, in the guise of a serial killer, God-fearing Pure
vulgarity, instead, you get the parallel universe, or rather the poetry of possibility, a mere rhetorical device , so that S., for the duration of the plot goes back and forth with the afterlife: the first day of living and dead of night, then died by day and night, then again alive by day and, hopefully, just sleepwalking through the rest.
you wonder what has become of the rabbit: Well, is introduced by force in the history of the protagonist, in one of his speeches to the poor from inner circles back to make the above style armor for the sole purpose - we believe - to recreate the familiar logo of the first film for the use and consumption of the posters.
seems superfluous even write the ending is the same, also the director, the pilot episode: light parade on the lives of the characters after the change dell'antefatto, with several nods to the paradoxes time. Ultimately, the meteorite is actually fell on the soldiers (poor) and St from which he fled back to life (but not the friend, who remains with the puppet). As the child ghost that for previous abduction of Berkeley, we see him looking through the bars of his hiding place. Saved from his fate or not, we do not know.
single console (?) That is not on Conejo Springs Fell the meteor shower heralded by the nerd in the alternate future: it would - ipse dixit - not spelled out the arrival of "tesseranti. Who understands us is good.

Sidenotes:
- Among the victims of Berkeley is also the brother of the puppet. Condition good to create an empathy with S., she too distraught over the death of Donnie. Too bad the director did not we spend more than a minute;
- Iraq Jack is the grandson of Grandma Death. Morivate I know that the desire to know.

INFORMATION

S. Darko

In one sentence: "I slept a good ten minutes"
Sconsigliatissimo : a person who, after Donnie Darko, wants to maintain memory of an original and intelligent film. Do not let this result we plunge over.
