Interpretation

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2009)

This film is purely about personal interpretation. I think that subjectivity plays an important part in any film, but Donnie Darko makes this its strength. Whether you like this film or not, you won't be able to find anyone with the exactly same opinion. Some people think that certain things did occur, when others may differ in the reason they think that made those things occur.
It is a highly enjoyable movie with really interesting characters. A strong story and a clever script along with good performances make this film very original. It is a shame that nobody put attention to this film when it was released, but that often happens to really good movies (for example Fight Club).
I recommend this film strongly, even if this film is not for everyone since it's a little confusing at first and many people will lack the focus to enjoy it until the end. I was included in that group before. My cousin had rented this movie and I was hesitant since I didn't hear anything about this film so I had really low expectations. But when it ended I was blown away by its magic. I'm grateful that I got the chance to watch this.
