DONNIE DARKO.
Let’s just begin by describing the video from its intended title: Donnie Darko.. When I replay this title in the back of my mind, I think of abstruse dark images and a scary horror film. This film caught my attention because of its title and because of the definition I created adjunction with it.
The movie addresses paradoxical illusions evoking the videos surrealism. The madness and sadness expressed in the video enhances the dark scenery the author is trying to impose. The video examines Donnie Darko’s illusionary mysteries of his life. His hallucinations corrupt his realism which results in the use of his medication-without it, his life is illusionary. His psychiatrist understands that he can unleash his unconscious secrets through hypnosis. When Donnie escapes death caused by a destruction destroying his room it is understood that he was only to be following a vision of his illusions, a rabbit (Frank). The movie creates its captivating audiences through its illusions, dreamlike environments and it`s depressing atmosphere. His mental illness leads him into a surreal life of illusionary imagination where he discovers the rabbit Frank, who appears throughout the movie delivering mysterious messages. Donnie receives the message that the universe will be corrupted within 28 days, a vision informed by the illusionary rabbit.
Future ECE teachings that can be implemented into the classroom would be to provide movies that allow children to express their creative imagination can promote their creative development. Movies that involve hallucinations and captivating characters keep children stimulated. Don’t limit children to the makings of creativity with markers and paint. Videos are also a form of creative expression.
