DONNIE

So, we call them... IMGs.

GRETCHEN

Infant Memory Generators.

DONNIE

Yeah. So the idea is that... you buy these glasses for your infant, and
they wear them at night when they sleep.

GRETCHEN

And inside these glasses are these slide photographs.
And each photograph is of something peaceful... or beautiful.
Whatever pictures the parent wants to put inside.

DR. MONNITOFF

What effect do you think this would have on an infant?

DONNIE

Well... the thing is, nobody remembers their infancy.
And anyone who says they do is lying.
We think that this would help develop memory earlier in life.

DR. MONNITOFF

Did you stop and think that maybe infants need darkness?
That darkness is part of their natural development.

Great discussion on the movie. I saw it for the first time tonight on cable, and proceeded to watch it again later in the night. Brilliant.

Something I noticed: What's with the fat guy in the jogging suit smoking cigarettes? He's seen once when Donnie and Gretchen attempt to kiss the first time -- then again at the beginning of the party on the front lawn (I noticed this later..) Has anyone else seen this?

I've been told the 'fat man' is a CIA agent who is watching Donnie... supposedly as they are trying to cover up the jet engine incident.

WOW watched the film 5 times now and all i can say is that it is one of the greatest experiences I have had. Not the best film ever (but up there). the whole Donnie Darko film makes up to a wonderful piece of cinema that moves you on several plains and will have you talking for days. Bought the DVD now and watched it with the Directors commentry on, at last I know who the fat man in the orange tracksuit is. I will be looking closely for the next outing of Richard Kelly.

Going backto the fat man in the red suit. I believe he is like an agent of god, who was sent down to watch over Donnie to make sure he was doing gods work, and making sure hes making the world the normal place its meant to be.

@Donna Darko: Bist Du das in der Mitte?

Ist wie ich finde - nicht nur deshalb - ganz lustig

(aber ich JaRaDa )

Stell dir einmal vor, die ganze Welt hätte Donna Darko gestern zum ersten mal gesehen ...

Ups ... ich meinte "Donnie"
