The Observer
I was watching Donnie Darko a while ago and I noticed something unique with one of the characters. Her name was Cherida Chen (the heavy set high school girl that everyone made fun of). I realized that she is in quite a few of the more important scenes although she has no real relation to any part of the story. In fact, one scene actually just ends with a pan to reveal that she was watching the scene with the audience. I believe that this was the director's intention and that her character was actually more a part of the audience than part of the story.
After theorizing this, I can't help but wonder if there are more characters in movies that are set up simply as observers. If I can find the time, I'll watch DD again with the commentary and see if Kelly says anything to this affect, in the mean time, has anyone else seen or thought of this before?
