Can we acknowledge that, in hindsight, Mad World was some seriously trite, meaningless, two-dimensional bullshit? It's like the "you'll never understand me Mom" poetry of a fourteen year old who just discovered Hot Topic.
It fit in Donnie Darko pretty well
That's probably because Donnie Darko also fits the above comment pretty much perfectly.
I still like Donnie Darko but it's definitely best to first see it when you're a teenage boy.
