  • "The God Machine, that's what saved the rabbits"

    Explains the driving force behind everything that happens in this movie, doesn't it? I'm not religious, and I think it pulls the story down a little, but what drives everyone to help Donnie save the universe is appareantly God.

  • This is only in the director's cut, right?

  • @lovetohate12 I think that this part is only in the directors cut... to me this part of the film was a surprise hahaha

  • This is only in the director's cut, right?

  • "Don't get me wrong, I love rabbits, they're cute and horny!" This line cracked me up so bad.XDDDD

  • 3 things: 1. "the field, the field is covered with blood." i've heared this in a Fall of Efrafa track before i heared it here. ^^ 2. i could be mistaken, but i think this scene wasnt included in the version i bought here in germany. 3. question: what do think, should i watch the movie a thousand times until i understand it, or should i ask somebody to explain it to me? :)

  • @LifevsMusic Right, it was deleted, but it's in the director cut. There is a great video on here called "Donnie Darko explained 100%". Watch it.

  • You should definitely watch it by yourself. Do not ask others to explain, as it will wreck much of the good feeling you get when you finally understand as to what happens in the movie. Gl hf with the movie. ^^

  • what's the name of the movie they're watching?

  • @Stonestreamdubs Watership Down, it's based on a book

  • Why is it that i have never seen this scene?

  • @MusicLifeSame Because the Watership Down scene wasn't included in the theatrical version of DD. It was one of the many scenes cut due to time constraints. This comes from the Director's Cut. (There's also a longer version in the 'extended/deleted scenes' section of the region 1 DVD of the theatrical release.)

  • Deus ex Machina - The God from the Machine.

  • Watership Down? :D

  • Comment removed

  • I have never seen this scene before...

    WHY WAS IT CUT? It was a good bit also...

  • Comment removed

  • @Benlikesgirls Darko. Donnie Darko.

    Just a correction, don't be mad...

  • Thank you very much !

  • I was talking to my best friend, who knew me since primary school, and I said "When Donnie Speaks out, that's kinda what I thought, I've always wanted to be able to speak my mind" and so forth and he said "that's weird, I love that movie but I didn't like Donnie as a person" and it's like this movie in particular makes people think is fantastic <3

  • this scene is not on the french version...what they said please ?

  • @krematorium333 Il dit que on devrait se balancer des lapins car les lapins ne sont pas des humains et n'ont aucune idée pourquoi ils sont sur cette terre alors c'est nautrel qu'ils soient heureux et ne pense qu'à se reproduire et que nous sommes supérieure.

    Sa copine dit qu'ils devraient être étudiés ( les personnages lapins) pcq l'auteur à mis un certain effort à les décrire conséquemment ca les rend importants ;)

  • I love how (the start of almost every comment on this video) he just jumps on her ass as soon as she finishes. And yes, Donnie is correct. They are inferior beings to us. Regardless of your race, religion, or culture, it's true. They aren't capable of fear, or love, or hatred, or any of the emotions. They're cute, and they're horny. That's about it lol

  • @buzzclick500, you're a crazy cunt who thinks 'Watership Down' -- an allegory for religious faith written by a *Conservative* -- is "Communist propaganda".

    buzzclick500 is a crazy cunt! And you know as much about economics and government as you do about 'Watership Down'!

    Crazy fucking cunt!

  • @buzzclick500, if you think Richard Adams is a "Communist" and 'Watership Down' -- in which the rabbits draw strength from their religion to overcome threat and tyranny --is "Communist propaganda", you're A STUPID FUCKING DOUCHEBAG CUNT!

  • @coombeso The horrific "dog eat dog" theme permeates the whole movie. It tries to make one over-sensitive to competition in general, doesn't attempt to show how it can ever be anything but the senseless destructive behaviour of unthinking animals, and that is the real problem with the anmial characters. If you do believe that that is the inherent nature of competition, you are obviously not pro-capitalist yourself. Perhaps you accept it as a "necessary evil" at best.

  • @coombeso Actually you're quite right. I thought I understood at least that much about the movie even without having seen it, but I did watch it to confirm just after that post, and there is actually almost a good message as to government in the movie. It is far from perfect, but in any case what I said was not true.

  • @djazr it's because they are stupid... Wonder no more

  • Hahaha your all so serious about this! To anyone who really enjoyed this movie I recommend a film called 'waking life', if any of you do actually watch it, please message me back on your thoughts about it. Frank - ' why are your wearing that stupid man suit?'

  • I love how Donnie immediately and articulately debates the whole thing even though he was drifting in and out of sleep.

    And his staring at her saying "you just wanna have sex as many times as possible before you die."

    And Drew Barrymore played an awesome teacher.

  • @the0th are you serious? This is my favourite movie of all time. Donnie Darko answers so many questions as to what is actually going on in the world. Every time I watch it I discover things I didn't realize before. I don't understand when people dislike this movie. it poses a philosophical debate as to what our purpose in life really is. it's more than just time travel and science fiction. it has a deeper meaning.

  • Who couldn't love watership down? (unless of course...you were scarred to life watching it ..... XD)

  • btw. the 'bunny movie' is called Watership down.

  • his face at 1:45 HILARIOUS

  • I LOVE how Donnie makes a scene/arguement out of everything haha.

  • I wish the director's cut had the extra scenes minus the stuff out of the book... it gives too much away and takes away the ambiguity that is part of what makes this movie so great.

  • never take acid and watch this shit. trust me!!

  • I like rabbits. They're cute and they're horny.

    One of the best quotes ever.

  • 1111

  • I have a Feeling this is from the directors cut. So, thats why.

  • Why did the producers skip this part!?

  • LOL THEYRE TALKING ABOUT THE MOVIE.

  • @HIM4l1fe All you've said is that life is life. Did you mean it's still important? If so, you're contradicting yourself when saying that rabbits can't be compared with humanity. A rabbit doesn't dread death, doesn't know about it; but a human can still be concerned about it. That's human sorrow, the same thing can be felt for a broken XBox. But neither a rabbit or an XBox will mourn anything, they don't care about anything; it's only their instinct to stay alive- eat and fuck.

  • @RyderRocks73 Disagree with you and Donnie. Rabbits very well can be afraid of death and their own lives. Otherwise they would not sense danger or have any need for it.

  • @FreshNapp The only reason they sense danger is so that they can stay alive, so there can be more rabbits. They don't take any particular pleasure from being alive.

  • @FreshNapp sensing danger is still an instinct, fearing danger or death like humans is different.

  • in this scenario i tottally agree with Donnie

  • Is the cartoon rabbit have a title?

  • Deadmau5?

  • I don't undertand just where any of them gets owned. They're having a discussion, and donnie is taking it kinda personal, but that's it.

  • @kblargh please look at the end.......how he gives that stare like his heads exploding 1:48

    she says "missed the point" donnies thinking "what point"

  • @azmanabdula you know what he's thinking?

  • @kblargh well i suppose......no.....but what was the point?

    he was saying that rabbits and humanity aren't relative....

  • @azmanabdula I think he envies the rabbits. Unlike him, they're not tormented by whatever their place in the world is. Like him (especially after getting a girlfriend), they just want to have sex till they drop dead, uncaring of all else. The difference being that he doesn't want it by nature so much as to escape his torment, because, at the end of the day, he does care. If Donnie were a rabbit, all his problems would be a non-issue.

  • @kblargh i think of the rabbits like his 2 friends.....

    simple as fuck.....never really getting in depth in any convo....."why do you have to get smart on us"

    where a problem exists......his friends wont see it....

    like the rabbits....

    and if existence is ignoring your problems....whats the point......

  • @azmanabdula And according to his reasoning, they're all the better off for it. He starts his rant with "why should we care" and proceeds to indicate in at least two occasions how the rabbits don't care, and not in a derogatory manner either. I think Donnie wants to not care, mostly about himself. Gretchen wants to care, mostly about him, as her retort is mostly about empathy. I think that's what they're really at odds about.

  • @kblargh that why i talk to people ALOT on youtube......thankyou for bringing that up....

    ill never see that clip the same again......

    so shes saying....why the fuck should i care about your viewpoint if donnies viewpoint on the rabbits is insignificant to him.....

    or is it a mind game....

    about how he is basically describing what he wants in himself?

  • @azmanabdula I think she's trying to reach out to him, not blow him off. Donnie's rant betrays itself, in that he's so passionate about giving in to apathy. He's sorta like the predator in this scene, in that his ability to articulate and make a point comes out at it's fullest and most agressive. Gretchen can only make a relatively poor protest in return, but you can somehow tell she feels her words, and the way she looks a him at the end is anything but uncaring.

  • @kblargh fair enough......

    but it sounds like she was just saying that we were meant to go along with the idea that these rabbit reflect humanity....(but had no idea on how to back that up)

    sooooo many ways you can look at it......

  • haha yeah donnie does get owned, by his own girlfriend.

  • NOOOO donnie got owned !!!

  • CHUT UP

  • 26 people like rabbits.

  • Omg I love watership down! (the film that was playing) I used to watch it all the time as a child...

  • its man suit.

    

  • Is this Deleted Scenes Because I just went over my DVD and No Water Frank Down

  • whats the bunny film called? its a real film right?

  • @IneffableLifestyle Watership Down

  • i like this scene because it sort of pushes the viewer take a stance between the two instead of just observing donnie's philosophy and assuming it's correct.

  • @boyeatworld I agree.

  • bunny philosphy!

  • this is the only scene where i don't agree with donnie, even though he is usually pretty smart. It's obvious that the rabbits were, like the teacher said, suppose to be "us" aka represent mankind. If mankind were in that situation, or if rabbits were as smart as humans etc.

    Yes, if it was a documentary about rabbits dying, then i can understand if someone were emotionless towards that, but this cartoon is no such thing.

  • Donnie is right

  • Comment removed

  • My problem with the director's cut is that it felt too contrived and took an already perfect movie and made less and less enjoyable. Some of the scenes were nice to see, but I would have liked them better as deleted scenes rather than having to watch a imperfect version of a perfect movie to watch some of those great scenes that were missing.

  • i don't like the directors cut

  • @NGxSTY73RxNG Why>?

  • This film felt like a Paul Thomas Anderson movie - you know, the man who directed Magnolia.

  • I like rabbits, especially with carrots, onions,. barley and potatoes.

  • shit that's watership down, it's strange but the two films actually seem to compliment each other quite well, and I do love a good reference.

  • any scene in this movie is quite fabulous

  • Donnie's got a point though i've got to say that the rabbits had emotions by the way the story was told. Ms. Pomeroy was right about the symbolism of the rabbits and that they should be treated the way they appeared on the story. Darko's point on death of a specie "could" be wrong, i mean animals can somehow show affection on their own way and also affect their owners/care takers. When those animals die, they'd somehow make their owner upset or sad in a way.

  • I will love dis movie for ever!! -3 -3 :)

  • I read Watership down last year in high school, it blew me away, they are probably the only rabbits that aren't only cute and horney, but prophetic and disgustingly violent.

    Donnie Darko is genius.

  • @ccaaaiiooo Frank actually says "why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

  • I like the scene when he's hypnotized saying "I think about fucking..." "What about your family?" "I don't think about fucking my family... that's gross!" XD

  • HOLY SHIT THE BUNNY MOVIE IS BACK!!! I used to watch this at my grandma's house all the time. scared the shit outta me. I THOUGHT I'D LEFT IT ALL BEHIND!!!

  • I get what Donnie said, but I think the rabbits are supposed to symbolize humans. And I completely disagree with what the girl said, 'The author cares for them so we care for them' that's not the point of literature. Literature isn't supposed to be followers doing and believing what a leader says, it's supposed to be one person expressing views and allowing others to form their own views based on what they have said. At least, that is what it is to me.

  • watership down used to scare the shit out of me too, i think its funny it is in this movie, probably cuz many more people experienced it like that.

  • I read that book, i didnt know there was a movie.

  • whoa i never noticed they were watching Watership Down at the beginning of the scene, i remember watching that movie when i was little

  • lol i love Donnie's face when Grechen started talkin. He knew he couldn't argue with her.. lol..

  • can someone tell me what watership down is about?

  • @123thejakes Watership down is about a bunch of rabbits struggle for survival. Its one of the best books of all time, it has lots of hidden meanings and metaphors, and its creepy and disturbing too, both these movies are my favorites.

  • @123thejakes You should read the book or watch the movie, very creepy and spiritual, but amazingly written thought provoking.

  • @fromdaghettowithlove there's a book!!?!??! where can i find it online?? like to buy..

  • @ilovekyokyoxD Check amazon or something, I own a copy, but you can't have mine lol.

  • @fromdaghettowithlove ok i will check.. so is the book like a novel or what??

  • @ilovekyokyoxD Ummm yeah... a work of non-fiction would imply there are actually talking bunnies... I don't think so.

    Yes, it is a novel.

  • @fromdaghettowithlove ... youre such a fuckass

  • @newdawn23 Well you can go suck a fuck.

  • @fromdaghettowithlove Oh, please, tell me youtuber, how exactly does one suck a fuck?

  • @ZDarg Well, don't call me Elizabeth

  • @123thejakes BUNNIES! Cute little adorable bunnies! At least that's what my dad told me when he said I should read it. I was ten and thought it was really cool, but then they started to kill each other, and I thought it was even cooler! It's a marvelous book and film, but I'd definitely recommend reading the novel first.

  • im pissed that i havent seen this scene, but happy that there's more to the movie i can now watch :D

  • Why have I never seen this scene?! :|

  • @pluginbaby05 went for popcorn?

  • @pluginbaby05 agreed! where the hell was it? unless its not in the dvd version...maybe theatrical only or something cause I never saw it in theaters.

  • @pluginbaby05 its a deleted scene which is a shame :(

  • @pluginbaby05 Directors cut, it's worth getting

  • @pluginbaby05 might be from the directors cut cause i never saw this either

  • @pluginbaby05 Directors cut

  • @pluginbaby05 director's cut probably

  • @pluginbaby05 its part of the director's cut. make sure you see it bro. so so explanatory and it's like watching the film again for the first time, which in its self is an amazing experience. 

  • @pluginbaby05 It's in directors cut

  • It's in the directors cut version@pluginbaby05 

  • @pluginbaby05: directors cut

  • watership down was fucking sick

  • I made a new friend today_ Real or imaginary ?_Imaginary.. x_o

  • Watershed Down, I believe.

  • watership down is such a good movie

  • Is this the directors cut version?? This scene wasnt in the one i just watched.

  • What movie is that? With the bunnies?

  • @seventhveil1313 watership down

  • That teacher is creepy....

  • The last time I checked, humans just want to have sex as many times before they die. That still cracks me up!

  • loove donnie darko! <3

    whats the name of the bunny movie??

  • they souldof put that scene in the movie ..but donnie darkos my fav movie its perfect x

  • Respond to this video... wat was dat bunny movie? wats it about

  • Soon after, Frank thanks Donnie for calling him cute and horny

  • Wow, this Director's Cut version of this scene is quite different from the deleted scene version on the DVD of the theatrical release. I didn't realize how different the two were until I tried to get them to sync--but that's impossible. The deleted scene version is longer and cut differently.

  • Sometimes I doubt Ms. Pomeroy's commitment to Sparkle Motion.

  • what movie is that

  • @victoriaboy55 watership down......scariest movie i ever saw as a child....there are dead bodies blocking the exits! *flees*

  • whats the movie they were watching?

  • @tyjed it's Watership Down.

  • @tyjed it's probably Watership Down.

  • this movie was confusing can anyone help me with this

  • @killerkombat428 Thats the beauty of it. Wiki always helps, check out the directors cut explaination in wiki,

  • @SirSmokeify theres 20 minutes of extra footage plus edited scenes. Both movies are intact but the directors cut explains so much more and has a lot more emotion to it.

  • whats the movie they are watching about the bunnies

  • This was my favoriite scenes from the director's cut, i wish it was in the original movie D:

  • Donnie: Why di you wear that stupid bunny suit?

    Frank: Why do you wear that stupid human suit?

  • @ccaaaiiooo frank says...why do you wear that stupid MAN suit

  • @ccaaaiiooo it's man suit

  • @ccaaaiiooo Not human suit. MAN suit.

  • @QuickWittedRetort yeah I wrote it wrong,

    but you were the ones who thumbed up me

  • @ccaaaiiooo i dont get what that means explain? anyone?

  • @ccaaaiiooo Epic fail.

  • @JoseCNote yeah I wrote it wrong.. But you were the ones who thumbed up me

  • god damned watership down

  • Hey! They're watching Watership Down. One of my favorite movies in one of my favorite movies :D

  • Ok I think i get it now. Donnie here thinks in the beggining that bunnies are useless and the bunnies play the role of the manipulated living and the humans around him. Why should Donnie die for these worthless humans who are way less smart then him (Frank the bunny is a metaphor for that). In the end he realizes that these bunnies are important to so he dies for them. Kind of like Jesus, who dies for us worthless sinners when he could have ruled the throne. The director of this movieischristian

  • @BeAnBeAn22 frank is also the manipulated dead if you read the pages in the directors cut, frank went to get beer and killed gretchen then donnie shoots him

  • why is the teacher so scared like she is about to cry?

  • deus ex was a great pc game

  • 25 people love rabbits
