I realized some stuff at the end but wen the little girl sees "charlie," which is her dad, who does she c? her dad? it can't be! and how could he have killed the ppl wen his daughter saw who did it? (i'm talkin about the guy that deniro plays.)

charlie is her dad's name, but when he caught his wife cheating on him he snapped.  pretty much he develops a split personality that calls himself chuck or something like that.  dakota is seeing her father.  it's just that whenever he switches personalities he doesn't remember the killing and the other horrible things that he does.  robert de niro's character is one in the same, but he has a split personality.  just like jim carey's character in me, myself, and irene.  hope i helped a bit.

Michael started talking with Walt, on the computer.  We found out that Kate killed her stepfather because he was abusive towards her mother.  \n  Mr Eko gave Locke a tape he had found on the other side of the island.  Locke and he spliced it together with the tape Locke already had.  it was the Dharma Foundation, and one of the things they were emphatic about was that the computer must not be used to communicate with the world, only for the experiment.  Michael didn't know this.\n   One episode was about the Michelle Rodriguez character and showed why she is such a gun happy character.  She was pregnant and lost her baby. and she ended up shooting the man responsible.\n  Last night on E4 was all about Mr Eko\n\n\nto the poster underneath, she clearly said UK and it's really unfair to do what you've done

If I recall, after that scene where his brother Yuri dies, he goes back to New York and gets caught by that weapons inspector, "something Valentine".  \n\nMr. Valentine brings in Nicolas Cage into interrogation and Nicolas Cage tells Mr. Valentine that someone will come knocking on the door to set him free as weapons trade is a necessity in the world.  Soon enough, some army man comes and talks to Mr. Valentine and Nicolas Cage's character is set free, back to selling more weapons to world leaders.  \n\nSomewhat shocking, in a sense, because the movie is based off of real events.  Even if that's not what really happens, you cannot deny the amount of firearm in the world today.  Makes you wonder, do you feel lucky, punk?

I'm going to preface this by saying that if American Psycho (which came out in 2000) is old, then -I- am old (I'm 19). Anyhoo...\n\nThere are a couple of interpretations as to what's actually happening at the end. The first interpretation, as a few other users have already mentioned, is that it's all in his head. They're merely messed-up fantasies that he's mistaken for reality. There are several points of evidence for this: the ATM saying "feed me a stray cat" and the exploding cop cars, for instance.\n\nThe second interpretation is that he can get away with what he's doing because A) he's rich and has "friends" in high places (put in quotes because I happen to think he has no real friends) who can cover his ass and buy off the authorities, and B) mistaken identity. Throughout the entire movie, a lot of people call him by different names, so when his lawyer confronts him about the message he left on his machine, he thinks it's all one big joke, because he's always mistaking Bateman for someone else. If that made any sense at all.\n\nPersonally, I am of the camp that buys the first theory, because the end always seems too surreal to be, well, real.\n\nJust as an aside, I loved this movie and personally thought it was hilarious. The repeated line "I have to return some videotapes" just kills me every time. And no, I am not insane, at least, I wasn't the last time I checked.

See the thing about the movie is that some parts are obviously real and some aren't.  Do you really think then ending with Pamela Anderson happened?  If that were the case he would'nt have made it to the parking lot to chase her.  It's obvious that he didn't really fight the fat guy naked but it's obviously real that his balls were in his face.  Overall it was a good movie.  I've liked Da Ali G show for years so I was expecting a little bit more but for anyone unfamilar I think that they'd like it alot.  At the theaters it was a little too surreal.  I think that was partially due to the film quality.  THe show was definitely more authentic.

yeah what is up with that?..\n\nby her tennis coach/ ex boyfriend.\n\nTell me why would he kidnap her? I mean not like damir has a full mental capacity so I am guessing she is just in hiding from her dad.\n\nwell i kind of hope she has faked her own death just to get damir out of the news....\n\nanyway i got rid of the freaks that came in, finally, what are you up to? what exactly do you do should i ask.\n\nby the way i would stay, work the day till morning tea go home with a 'migrane' grab my boogie board and speed down the coast... grin  I am due for long service that is my incentive.. 1 more year to go.........

I'm not going to be able to answer this in fullness at all but I'll let you know what I think about certain things.\n\nThe baseball cards - Simon gives the cards to Joe because they were his(Simon's) Favorite thing in the world.  He was trying to apologize for taking Joe's favorite thing in the world in the world...his mother.\n\nThe armadillo - After Simon gives Joe the cards, Joe realizes how upset and how bad Simon feels so he gives the armadillo to Simon, as a sign of forgiveness.\n\nThe deer - The deer was the instrument in showing everyone that Simon was here for a reason.  That he had survived for a reason.  His small stature and shrill voice gave him authority when it came to the smaller children and the small stature also allowed him to escape the bus when it slipped under water.  I'm not sure what the deer represents when it shows up the other 2 times though.\n\nJoe and Grandma - Definatley the part where we actually see the comforting loving side of her.  When she tells Joe that she won't be there forever and that she didn't know who his father was.\n\nJoe and Dad - It's sad to see Joe's reaction to finding out who his father was and denying it.  Joe's realization that it was true was when Simon confirmed it by finding the baseball, while searching for his cards.  I love the fact that Ben Goodrich adopts Joe in the end though.   During the movie I was hoping Ben was Joe's father, but I think the way they did it was better.\n\nI hope this helped in some way...maybe gave you a start.

yes, I seen the movie and caught that. It was part of the story as to why everyone thought she was a slut, ect... Because she had her son and there was no father.

First after she pulled the gun, she called his office and another cop gave a description of him. Then they rush to the ferry and plan on trying to get the bomb out. The girl was supposed to wait until the ferry left, while D.W. went on board to stop the bomb. As the bad guy left, D.W. went abroad the ferry. But while the bad guy was getting ready to leave on his motorcycle, he noticed the SUV and went back to the ferry. The girl saw this and in return jump back abroad the ferry.\n Now with all three of them on the ferry, D.W. was told by security to get up top, that the bottom was off limits. He agrees and looks for another way. The girl tryin to alert D.W. is caught by the bad guy. She is once again tied up and put in the SUV. D.W. now returns back to the SUV and begans a shoot out with the bad guy. With the security also firing at them both, D.W. ended up killing the bad guy with a shot in the head, with his last bullet. Then security comes at D.W. and he jumps in the SUV with the girl, now they only have a couple of minutes until the bomb goes off. So while the cops are trying to stop the SUV, they take off fliping over the edge. While under water the girl is saved by D.W. but he didn't get out and drowns or blows up with the blomb, which miss the ferry. So after all this, the present day D.W. shows up. And she asked him the same question he ask her while she was holding the gun. He responded the same and stop a second thinking that he felt Deja Vu but then shook it off and the movies end with them living the docks. I hope this helps

Oh crap. Its extremely hard to explain by mere words, better if the movie was actually playing at the same time or better still, by diagrams. But here we go.\n\nDonnie was supposed to have died by the falling of the aircraft engine, by escaping it, our universe pretty much ceased to exist, and instead a "tangent universe" was created. One full of coincidence and weird revelations, designed to teach Donnie not to be afraid of his own destiny, and to manipulate him mostly without his knowledge into putting the universe right. By travelling back to the point where the engine crashed uinto his bedroom, and dying when he was supposed to. If this didnt happen, both universes would be destroyed. The tangent universe cannot exist for long, and when it would fall apart, it would take our own with it. Both versions of the movie and even the website, go into various background details, which is there if someone wishes to go into the details of the paradox of the movie. For example, Frank and Gretchen are referred to as the "manipulated dead", the rest of the people he knows are referred to as the "manipulated living", as their role in the tangent universe is to unknowingly manipulate Donnie into realising what he has to do to save everyone he loves. The universe knows it is "broken" and knowingly sets events into motion to save itself. The question is asked throughout the movie whether this is Gods work. And there is certainly a religious theme if youd like to interpret it that way. The beauty here is that the characters do not know they are being manipulated, heres some of the examples of the "coincidences" designed for Donnie to pay attention to.\n\nThe teachers reference to "cellar door", which leads Donnie to Grandma Deaths house for showdown. (funnily enough, close tot he french, c'est l'adore, but anyway...)\n\nFranks reference to "the day the world will end", repeated again when Donnie's mother is calling to say how they'll be on the red-eye flight, the airport announcement in the background says that Flight 2806 is boarding at gate 42 and leaving at 12 AM. Presumably this is the flight they're taking, and also a reference to the 28:06:42:12 countdown that Frank gives Donnie.\n\n\nThe black-and-white poster in Donnie's room, of an eye reflecting a skull, is a reproduction of an etching by the artist M.C. Escher, whos paintings invariably went full circle, "going back on themselves"\n\nDonnie and Gretchen playing the "outrun" videogame in the directors cut, driving a red ferrari, which crashes....\n\nI seriously could go on, but they are just some ive discovered that a lot of people havent noticed. There are MANY of these throught the movie. However, by far the best in depth written explanation which i also personally believe is written by someone else, which ill include here...hold your breath!:\n\nWHAT HAPPENS, AND WHEN? \nOctober 1, 1988. Donnie is on the hill, looking at the sky, laughing. He rides his bike home and goes to sleep. \n\nOctober 2, After midnight, Donnie is woken up by Frank-Bunny, saving him from a jet-engine crashing into his room. The jet-engine is actually from October 30, disappearing through a time corruption 28 days into the past. This catastrophic event distorts spacetime and creates a Tangent universe (TU). In the Tangent Universe, Frank-Bunny guides Donnie Darko on a 28 day journey through this alternate tangent dimension to save the universe: \n\nOctober 30, Tangent universe: After his journey through the TU, which we witness in the movie, the jet-engine breaks off the plane (that his mother and sister are coincidentally on), and from the Tangent universe, Donnie using a wormhole sends it back to the Primary universe (PU), giving it a reason for being. The only object that went back in time from the tangent universe to the primary universe was the jet-engine. In doing so the tangent universe

She swam to the surface and was rescued.\n The SUV exploded in the river killing Ben. While sitting on the Riverbank an Officer told Claire an ATF Agent would need to question her.\n Soon after Ben arrived as He did at the beginning of the Movie and they met for the first time.

(spoiler)*\n\nshe kills herself, i'm not sure what happens after that becuase it's been a long time since I saw it.\n\nEDIT:\nSorry, the way you worded your question was unclear to me, but you can always go to the imdb site and ask people on the message boards about the ending, and some people have written out spoilers:\n\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381505/board/threads/

VInificus has almost got it right.  Tony kills Maria's brother, Bernardo, in a fight.  Chino has told her about this and she is alone in her room crying.  Tony climbs in through the window and she attackes him shouting "Killer, killer" then breaks down in tears.  He tries to explain how it happened, then they sing the song.  After it, they sleep together for the first time (but you don't see that, it's just implied).  They sing it together at the end when Chino has shot Tony and he is dying in Maria's arms.  So sad!!!!

I agree with you. I thought it was a very intense movie also. I was also taken by the elements you mentioned shown in the movie. One thing that always bothers me in these type of films is the fact that if the characters are alerted of danger they disregard the warnings. For instance in this movie the siblings are warned by a psychic who describes in detail the horror that awaits them. The woman is so sincere she almost starts crying. What's up with that? Wouldn't any rational person feel there's some legitimacy in what the concerned person is saying? I would. All in all it was a good movie and tough on the nerves!

his father denies that the holocost ever happened.  is that how you spell it?  it looks wrong, the thing in which the nazis killed all of the homosexuals, the jewish communities and gypsies, etc.  well, either way, Mel's dad denies it happened.  not too funny, just disturbing

I think it's left up to us, the audience to decide what really happened to Jack. I've seen the movie a couple of times and have thought about the same thing, but I'm still not sure which story to believe. But I'm leaning towards Jack getting killed by the townspeople who found out he was gay because Jack was more open about his sexuality.

all right... it was a very painful movie, not because it's boring and not good at all but because it was so powerful you'd feel real pain watching some scenes in the movie. it's also directed by the great miike (he's seen in the movie hostel!).\n\nhere goes. this man just lost his wife and his son's actually okay with the idea of his dad being remarried again. he held an audition but that was a front - because he really wanted to meet the girl he would want to marry through this, so he met this girl. but it turned out that this girl had a very dark past and led him into something really painful. painful is just the right term for all of this. anyway, i don't want to tell you all the details. i suggest you try to find a copy of this movie and watch it. trust me, it's good. :)
