Guess some people have tragedy running through their blood

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2004)

After having seen this one four times I finally decided to put it numero uno on my list - yes after the godfather trilogy, the question bugging me now is why this movies deserves so much credit. Maybe its the wonderful cocktail of image and music - Gary rules!, the eyes of the Gyllenhaals, Kelly's brainstorming on the script, I don't know, it just gave me the right feeling. Something slips away everytime I see it, think of it and I still want to keep on watching. For me, that's how the magic works, hopefully it will never show its trick ;) People, this is great filmmaking even Tarkovski would be proud of (Nosthalgia is number two on my little list). To anyone who hasn't seen it, run to the nearest videostore and have the time of your life Favourite scenes: Donnie's girl opening up at the party and of course the final scene accompanied with Jules' Mad world - never has a song fitted so well a movie - like a glove ;) Godspeed
