ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN HANDS DOWN!

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2004)

Pros: Deep and thought provoking and most will never totally understand it, which means this movie's main point is not really for entertainment, but for strengthening of someone who feels and understands it completely! Cons: Nothing
I have watched this movie several times. I not only love the music, but the fact that it goes where most movies never go. I find the character of Donnie Darko in sync with my own life in which I feel and see and understand at a deeper level than others. Also it shows how others simply do not understand who I really am and as a matter of fact, never will in all ways. And that is actually good. It is what makes me unique and this gives me strength as well in my own heart and life. Most will be lost through the movie because they are expecting something else. Of course that is how most people perceive any movie when they go watch it and that is why they would never understand a movie of this caliber and nature in the first place. Very deep movie and I am glad it was made the way it was. The director and author were not interested in the money issue, but rather they really wanted to show us and create for us. This movie is certainly as a fact not going to be understood or grasped by everyone, but that does not mean it is a bad movie either. 5 stars is not good enough for this movie. Should show how selfish and mean people can be, and Donnie through the looking glass is where most of us miss it. By the way, no one should even think this is anything like "American Pie", movies which I totally detest and think are very sick and immature in nature and not meant to have any real meaning of a sensitive nature. Donnie Darko movie most definitely does. Way to go!
