Product Information

By opting for the understated simplicity of the sneakers, reminiscent of Donnie’s favored footwear, your costume takes on a brooding ambiance that is hard to ignore.

The following D word costumes are perfect for all ages and genders, making them great for family gatherings, birthdays, Halloween parties and more. By now, watching Donnie Darko is like a rite of passage for young people everywhere. It’s up there with discovering bands like Radiohead, or rappers like Odd Future, as formative adolescent experiences. It offers a vessel for a specific kind of teenage anxiety. For millennials, and more urgently for Gen Z, there’s a keen awareness that the world might end at a moment’s notice — that there’s something deeply unstable about the prevailing status quo. The generation born into a fraught promise of social mobility can find some element of the movie to graft their own feelings onto. “I’m grateful that it has connected with a younger generation,” Kelly says. mins: Karen Pomeroy tells the class they are no longer allowed to study The Destructors, and that their new book will be Watership Down, however if any student wants a copy of Graham Greene's book someone has put 20 copies aside at the Sarasota Mall. mins: Frank's voice can now be heard during the Cunning Visions video, telling Donnie to watch closely. mins: As Donnie is awakened by Frank's voice we see a close up of his eye opening with Frank reflected in his iris. Also the sequence as he leaves the house is extended slightly.

Above all, this film has a kind of flow to it like nothing I've ever experienced in any other film before. The magic sets in from the very first moment, when we see Donnie waking up (and the song 'The Demon Moon' starts), and you just go with that flow and let yourself be drawn into that world. The story unfolds like a dream and the ambiguity (at least in the theatrical cut) as well as the fantastic songs help create an absolutely unique and strangely compelling atmosphere.

When Donnie nonchalantly throws on the gray hoodie over his skeleton costume, it adds a distinctive touch to your ensemble, exuding an air of detached coolness. Are you looking for a perfect costume starting with D? Whether you’re searching for something to wear to a party or just trying to find some fun new costumes to try out, my list of D-themed costumes will give you plenty of creative options. mins: Karen gives one of her last classes, after the students watch a section of Watership Down they discuss Fiver (the rabbit)'s visions, and how trusting those visions of the end of the world would save the warren. Gretchen and Donnie argue in the class about the meaning of them. Donnie doesn't see the point of crying over a dead rabbit, Gretchen tells Donnie he missed the point, and Karen Pomeroy tells the class that the Deus Ex Machina is what saved the rabbits. It’s sort of this dream world where you’re not really sure where it takes place,” Kelly says. “But the suburbs are the suburbs, they’re different all across America, but they’re also kind of the same. So maybe we were tapping into something more universal in terms of the experience.” mins: As Donnie, Samantha and Elizabeth sit in the hotel room Samantha tries to think of ways to make money from the accident, and Donnie tells her when she falls asleep he's going to "fart in your face."Early on in the film, before Donnie meets Frank, we’re introduced to his character’s family, the Darkos. There are Donnie’s parents, Eddie and Rose, played by Holmes Osborne and Mary McDonnell; his older sister Elizabeth, played by Jake Gyllenhaal’s real-life big sister Maggie Gyllenhaal; and his little sister Samantha, played by Daveigh Chase. In one of the film’s best-known scenes, the family sits down for a tense dinner. Elizabeth expresses her plans to vote for Michael Dukakis in the upcoming election. The family’s patriarch, of course, disapproves. As often happens with brothers and sisters, Donnie and Elizabeth start arguing about something off-topic. The Halloween party that sets off the movie’s final action, and that inspired Phoebe Bridgers’ visuals, is a feast of aesthetic references. Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” plays as Donnie and his love interest, Gretchen Ross (played by Jena Malone), having just slept together for the first time, descend from his family’s staircase in slow motion. Here, rote high school movie tropes are recast with more dynamic and tasteful compositions. The film predates Tumblr by almost a decade but is undoubtedly responsible for much of the aesthetic culture it fostered online.
