Brad Finch (31), has today become one of the bravest men in his community after coming forward and admitting he never really understood the meaning of cult film Donnie Darko.

The shocking confession was made during a casual movie night with friends, shortly after someone suggested rewatching the 2001 classic. 

Brad reportedly took a deep breath, paused and announced that he had absolutely no idea what any of it meant and why the movie was so hyped uup.

Those present say the admission created an immediate wave of silence, followed by several nods from others who had also spent years pretending they understood the film’s plot. 

One friend later described the moment as powerful and said Brad’s honesty gave everyone else permission to stop pretending they knew what was going on with the creepy rabbit and the time loops.

Brad explained that for more than a decade he had relied on vague statements like “it’s about destiny” whenever the movie came up in conversation. 

He also admitted to once watching a fifteen minute YouTube breakdown but zoning out halfway through .

According to Brad, his next goal is to revisit the film with an open mind and see if the plot finally makes sense now that he is in his early thirties.

He remains doubtful but says he feels a huge weight off his shoulders knowing he no longer has to pretend he understands what on earth that movie is trying to say.

More to come.
