Needs more explaining

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2003)

Spoiler Alert! I am half on liking this movie, and half on really hating this movie. So let me explain:
Hate: I hate this movie because it is poorly explained. It is a convoluted plot based on metaphysics and abnormal psychology. Donnie is a schizoid and is loosing touch with reality, so be introduced to the bunny. Well, this goes along with the poorly described bit, but the bunny is never really explained. I found the bunny to be annoying. I was praising that the death of the bunny would expedite itself quicker. Towards the end, I found myself also glad that Donnie was killed. I told you this was the hate part of my review.
Like: I like this movie because it is not your typical crap that Hollywood likes the throw out at conformist America (see T3 for example). This movie is an emotional rollercoaster and does require a bit of intelligence to understand the plot. This, however, is difficult because; starting a movie, going throw a fake dream, and ending up at the beginning of the movie doesn't evolve into a continuous and moving forward plot. It is a mobius strip. It ended were it started.
I liked the fear component of the movie. I think fear is a limiting factor for a lot of people and basically tells me that humans are scared of being alone. I did like this subplot about fear being the price of our instrument.
I give this movie an 8/10 for being different and quasi-thought provoking.
