Southland Tales
    #15695751 - 01/21/12 12:08 AM (12 years, 2 months ago)

Wow, just saw it for the first time. I loved it, but as with any Richard Kelly movie I am confused.

Why did it start at scene IV? My thought was that this is because Donnie Darko already completed the first three chapters of the tale...Of the end of the world.

In Darko, Donnie is faced with the same dilemma as Roland is in Southland. Also, many of the same themes and circumstances are used. I.e. Dimensions collapsing on themselves, anti capitalism, religious dilemmas, people getting shot in the eye and so on and so on. At least the conflict resolution is different in Southland Tales.

Does anyone else have any theories? Do ya'll think the two films are intentionally related or do you just think Kelly is remaking the same film over and over?

I belive that both Heaven and Hell exist on this earth. Our gift as humans is that we get to decide which realm we live in.
