Donnie Darko is a film made in 2001 by Johnnie Cochran. Johnnie had already proved himself the worlds greatest lawyer by successfully defending O.J Simpson and Chef from South Park, but was keen to prove he was not a one trick pony. With Donnie Darko, he applied the same techniques he had used in court, i.e. making things so confusing that no one could understand what the hell he was on about but felt too confused and intimidated to say so out loud and thus accepted that he was right.
