Archived from the original on October 8, 2016. Kelly set out to write something "ambitious, personal, and nostalgic" about the 1980s which "pushed the envelope by combining science fiction with a coming-of-age tale". [13] [10] The New York Times honed in on the 1980s coming-of-age story aspect by observing the influence of John Hughes, noting the "ineffectual" adults and the fact that Donnie's "suffering is a way to make him more sensitive". [14] Kelly summarized the script was to be "an amusing and poignant recollection of suburban America in the Reagan era". [15] He recalled a news story that he had read as a child, which he later called an urban legend, [16] about a large piece of ice falling from the wing of a plane and crashing through a boy's bedroom, who was not there at the time and thus escaped death. [15] Kelly used this to develop an initial idea of a jet engine falling onto a house and no one could determine its origin. He then built the rest of the script with the aim of resolving the mystery at the end while taking a "most interesting voyage" to get there, although at this point he knew the plane was to be one that Donnie's mother was on and was from a different dimension. [17] [10] At one point Kelly considered replacing the jet engine with a piece of ice, like he had read. [18] He based the film's concept of time travel and alternate universes from reading A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. [11] Natale, Richard (October 24, 2001).
