this film is my alltime favourite

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2004)

this film is my alltime favourite because... It captures you the viewer and puts you in the daily life and place the protagonist is experiencing almost immediately, it is full of places that everybody loves watching in a film...starting with morning dew mountainy landscapes, beautiful neat american neihbourhoods, high-school to overwhelming skies that leave you in awe as the movie nears its end. The main character, Donnie is a cool, funny, mysterious & inspiring teenager that sees a large bunny rabbit which tells him to do some acts vandalism etc which lead the plot of the movie in a way but the whole meaning and interpretation of the plot is quite difficult to understand from the first viewing. It is about time travel, in the least futuristic and extravagant way...in fact, in a way relating to the forces and destinies in life. All this being left for the viewer of course to think about. Most of the movie actually doesn't show or talk about that stuff but shows a teenager with an irritation towards the stereotype american high school living, has a girlfriend and does stuff like flooding his school and burning a house, which he can remember non of, set in the 80's, which gives the film a KILLER soundtrack including the famous soundtrack Mad World. Donnie tries to find the meaning of this all throughout the movie and even his parents or his psychiatrist can't easily understand him. The best part of the movie is how everything falls into place in the end. 10!
