1. Forrest Gump is deep because it has many life messages, such as perseverance, honesty, integrity, and compassion. It has various themes throughout (running, ping pong, brace, etc.).

2. Donnie Darko isn’t the most optimistic movie out there. That’s what I meant by the term ‘neagative’. Frank is a dark and scary character too!

3. Actually, there might be more to be learned from ‘negative’ art. It all depends on the way you think, and analyze things. Left brain, right brain, etc. Everyone has their preferred genres.

Thank you for the comment, Enfer!

1. How is Forrest Gump deep?
2. How is Donnie Darko negative?
3. How is there less to be learned from ‘negative’ art?

Sorry about that. Yes, it is pretty short. I didn’t get much from this movie, so I don’t want to add unwanted and meanless text to the analysis. Some of the more deep movies like Forrest Gump, K-Pax, Bucket List, Reign Over Me, etc.. have more content to analyze. As you can see, I also enjoy positive/motivational movies more, and am able to interpret more information. For negative movies like this one, The Condemned, Persepolis, and Pans Labyrinth, you will notice the short length of the analysis. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and I will try to improve the length/content of my film analysis in the future. I just saw “Igor” today, and it had a lot of content that I can write about. Thanks again, Josh.
