A masterpiece compareable to any David Lynch movie.

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2004)

This movie is absolutely brilliant. At first, id like to point out that after you've seen it, it will be hard to figure out what it was actually about. It's like a puzzle that you have to solve yourself. According to, that almost everyone has different oppinions on what the plot on this movie actually is all about. The only thing people who has given it a second thought seem to agree about, is the fact that it's very very good.
My conclusion is, that it's filled with hints that go all across the movie. It's filled with morales and ethics, hidden suggestions, and mindbuggling scenes. The movie tells different stories to all it's viewers, who always end up astonished by it's originality. But the creation of it, i believe, was'nt intended to be any sort of defined story - though many seem to think so. If it is, the story would have been made just like you and i are going to make it, figuring out all the small concepts of the movie, and trying to figure out our own final understanding that hopefully suits fine according to our personality. To make a movie this deep on purpose just seems impossible.
If i was to say my oppinion, i'd say that Donnie Darko actually is some kind of superhero. He found a timetraveling portal - that not only traveles trough time - but also to a different dimension. He uses his own self¹ to persuade the people at the destination dimension to lead donnie² into an act, that will make him² save his nearest family. It all ends up with the 2 universes collapsing, and exchanging some people through them, so the people that stay behind Donnie Darko will be almost unaware to what have happened - due to Donnie's and the movies perfection in the act. A perfection that will only claim one loss, which you will see if you watch this extremely good movie. :)

I'll give it 10/10.
