Great movie and great example of a paradox!

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2005)

Donnie Darko is an excellent movie! The more I watch it, the more I love it. I recommend to anybody who is willing to think about a movie. If you prefer not to put thought into a movie, do not watch it. If you do choose to watch this movie, keep in mind that missing a lot of the movie will impair your ability to understand it. So, if you want to understand this movie, watch it all.
I love the fact that you need to think about this movie to understand it. This makes it different from many movies. You can understand many movies by just watching them, but you cannot do that with Donnie Darko! You have to think about this movie after it is over. You may even have to watch it several times, which is what I recommend doing. I think many of the people who do not like this movie should try doing that.
I also love the fact that so many questions remain unanswered, thus leaving the movie open to interpretation.
I rated Donnie Darko 9/10, as opposed to 10/10, because there is always room for improvement.
I would try to explain the paradox presented by this movie, but I do not know if I can do that without making this review too long.
