Donnie: "I could spend my whole life debating over and over again, weighing the pros and cons, and in the end I still wouldn't have any proof, so I just don't debate it any more. (laughs) It's absurd."
Dr. Thurman: "The search for God is absurd?"
Donnie: "It is if everyone dies alone."
The link I provided is an extensive crtical/ideological analysis of the movie Donnie Darko. Lawrence Person takes his time analyzing the film's many different chracteristics. lawrence touches on ideas of the philosophy of time travel and the tangent universe carelessly labeling it as "wacky shit." Lawrence states that Tangent universes are inherently unstable, lasting only "a matter of weeks," eventually collapsing in upon themselves, each one "forming a black hole within the Primary Universe capable of destroying all existence. it seems that lawrence feels that the values represented in this scifi thriller are ones of uncertainty and life is merly useless and boring.
Lawrence Person's short fiction and poetry has appeared in Asimov's, Analog, Fear!, and the anthologies Alternate Presidents and Horrors! 365 Scary Stories. He edits the Hugo-nominated critical magazine Nova Express.
