Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

So at the prompting of Mr. Coffee I added Donnie Darko to my list of movies to see. I went to my parents house for the day and saw my friend Becky who is my weird movie watching friend and she asked me if I had seen it. She apparently loves it and owes it on DVD so she came over and we started to watch it.

You know what I discovered in the opening seconds of the movie? Donnie Darko's sister is played by the actors real sister, and that real sister is the lead actress in Secretary. So I stopped the movie and ran out to Blockbuster to rent it (so we could watch it afterwards..my pick)(Ended up buying it instead of renting, yea for previously viewed dvds). I find it interesting and amusing that brother and sister are both the leads in cult films dealing with dark subject matter. My friend said that she didn't the the looked related in DD, but when she saw Secretary she said the resemblance was obvious.

So what's the Raven girl's take on this film? Well, I loved the writing. The humor was hysterical. I was laughing really hard thoughout. Very intelligently written. and the love story was beautiful.

The kissing scenes again made me want to kiss someone.

However, I really did not care for the ending. (don't worry I won't give it away) It is my opinion that this film should not be seen by someone with really intense depression or suicidal tendencies, I really think it could push them over the edge. I mean, thank god for my defense mechanism that causes me to disassociate from things quickly by analyzing them because who knows what I would have done otherwise.

Needless to say I did not care for the ending, ruined the film for me. The film was too good to send that type of message out into the world. I can understand how a person could write this script as a means to express the emotions that are tomenting them, but....I dunno, it might have been a bit nieve of them not to consider the implications of the ending.
