【Gary Jules】
如果看過那部叫做Donnie Darko的電影，聽到這首歌一定會覺得心底發麻，關於那部晦澀又古怪的電影的記憶片斷地湧上來，聽到副歌的時候會不由自主地心裡一驚。
灰色調的日子，詭異的兔子布偶，悲慘的命運走向，緊縮的時空，年輕卻已經死去的晦暗的心靈，「死控體」。
這部電影讓人覺得有點神經質，確確實實像深夜的一場幻覺，兔子的臉恐怖卻平靜，奇幻的光線美麗卻讓人不舒服，主角惶惑不安黑暗暴力卻又好像了悟一切。
常常想到主角在公路上醒來的那個畫面，還有他臉上的表情。
從開始到結束都充滿孤獨感的一部片。
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
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 find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
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 find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
不會有一首歌更適合這部電影了。
我記得當初看完電影，還很認真的開始研究電影裡的各種設定，越研究就真的可以看出越多東西，因為裡面的設定實在很有趣。
死亡啊宇宙啊循環啊事物必須有一個原因啊，我覺得這部電影是不需要簡化來看的，因為這一切就是這麼複雜，要是不想動腦筋就只能渾渾噩噩地當成一場幻覺了。
雖然類似劇情的故事很多，但是看完Donnie Darko的結局以後覺得很難受，可能因為這部電影拍得太有味道了，還有他把那種複雜的感覺傳達出來了，所以會覺得特別痛苦。
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
那些關於我正在死去的夢境，是我作過最美好的夢。
When people run in circles it's a very, very mad world.
太可怕了這幾句歌詞。還真是一個瘋狂的瘋狂的世界啊。
