She actually sleeps through the entirety of this section of the film but whatever. This is one of my favorite images of all time. Donnie Darko, girlfriend (whose name doesn't really matter but it's Gretchen) and Frank. Ah Frank. <3
I bring up this movie Donnie Darko because of the ending. Gary Jule's "Mad World" plays as they show the aftermath and the ripple effect of Donnie's potential life. It hits me so hard everytime I hear it. Especially the lines "Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow, no tomorrow, no tomorrow. And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had." I know I'm very late to the party with this movie and the song but it resonated with me. I fall asleep at night humming Mad World and hoping that tomorrow a jet engine will fall on me.
