Thanks for the memories!
Memorable, crazy movie
How sad is this?
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
A troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes, after he narrowly escapes a bizarre accident. To be honest i don't get the hype for Donnie Darko it was just weird and boring and most of the things that were happening were very just 'what the hell is going on?'. The perfomances were also not that good especially from Jake Gyllenhaal and as for the storyline it was boring and not even that much interesting and personally i have seen way better movies that play with your mind and just try to get you insane who aren't even on the Top 250 movies of all time unlike 'Donnie Darko' which it is. Overall not recommending it. (0/10)
The pace is too slow. Goes around and around too much without being simple and direct, there's no emphasis. Main characters are not charismatic and completely disposable. Too many filler scenes. Not emotional, I'm a sensitive guy, I tried hard to feel something, I felt nothing, it's just a cluster-crap, complete crazy. And one more thing, it's boooooring!people who claim to understand this piece are probably as delusional as the piece itself.
Donnie Darko is a troubled teen. He is a loner, his best friend is an imaginary large rabbit named Frank and he is seeing a psychiatrist. He starts to date Gretchen and things start to look up. Then a bizarre accident destroys his bedroom and things get complicated.Excellent drama. Highly original plot that covers some interesting themes. Engaging too, as the characters, especially Donnie, are given good depth. Very intriguing - you really don't know where the story is heading. Can be a bit confusing though, especially towards the end.Good work by Jake Gyllenhaal as Donnie. The movie launched his career.
I watched this again, for the first time in years, and it's still pretty good. It's fun to watch these older movies and see actors when they were younger who've become more famous now. The effects aren't super, but the story is still there. The high school feels real, and I'd forgotten a lot of the plot points. Definition of a cult movie!
