Strange,dark and wonderful.
Donnie Darko is about a young man(Jake Gyllenhaal)who has an incredible intellect but also deep emotional problems.He doesn't fit in with the rest of his schoolmates so he has a friend that only he can see,a man size talking bunny rabbit named Frank.As of lately Donnie has been sleep walking and waking up in places other than his home,this proves to be a good thing when a plane engine lands on the Darko household and crushes Donnies bed.Donnie wakes up one morning on a golf course and he quickly runs home to find the plane engine that should have killed him,he thinks back to the reason he was on the golf course to begin with and knows it was Frank that saved him.From that day forward Donnie Obeys his "Imaginary" friend Frank and it starts to get him into trouble.Frank tells Donnie when the world is going to end and it turns out it's going to be soon.Donnie doesn't quite understand why this is going to happen but he knows that plane engine should have killed him and he is going to live life to the fullest until the end comes.As time passes Donnie gets a girlfriend,stands up to his uptight teacher and follows the will of his big bunny buddy Frank.The things Frank makes Donnie do are a bit destructive but there may be some kind of master plan at work that Donnie is unaware of.You may have to watch this movie a few times to get what's going on in it but this thing is unlike anything you have ever seen.Is Donnie being guided by God,Did Donnie mess up the space time continuem or is he just friggen nuts?I love this movie for so many reasons,the star studded cast,the clever writing,the good balance between drama and humor and also the creepy mood of some scenes.This is a must see!

Beautifully Dark
Donnie Darko is the movie that everyone should watch, but yet should just leave it alone. <

>Donnie Darko is magnificently philosophical and beautiful. The concepts and themes in the movie are explored excellently, although in the middle of the book one might find there to be too many such themes. <

>The wonderful thing about Donnie Darko is that it'll haunt you. The ending is not particularly explosive, or particularly violent, compared to action flicks such as Die Hard, but once the movie ends, you'll find yourself constantly reexploring the movie, finding plot points and character developments. <

>The direction of Richard Kelly is particularly fantastic. The way he makes each scene connect with the viewer and symbolizes so many of the characters is fascinating... One might assume him to be a seasoned director, but he is really young, and his gifts and talents are not to be taking for granted. <

>Donnie Darko, however haunting, makes you want to just cuddle up in a corner as well, wishing you had never watched the movie for the great amount of depressing characteristic it presents. Donnie Darko is the cult classic that is beatifully dark and tranquilizing... you'll never be the same once you watch it.
