best film i have seen in a long time

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2003)

i had heard from a few mates that this was not one to miss. they were right, i am very glad i rented this out.
very fresh and original. the story of a high school guy who "hallucinates" about a man in a freaky rabbit suit, who tells him to commit violent acts and when the world is going to end. there's much more to it than that, but i'm sure you could read that in another review.
one great thing about this film is the characters. i especially liked Kitty Farmer, the teacher and the dance coach.....the whole fear and love thing was hilarious. she is probably the biggest hypocrite in the world. the self-help guy Jim Cunningham, Kitty Farmer's idol was also funny, shown to be a pervert. but of course, the best character has to be Donnie, the troubled guy, the weirdo, a very extreme version of myself.

one thing that stood out was the complete contrast of the day scenes compared to the night or hallucination sequences.
it reminded me of (probably been brought up) of Harvey.....the 6ft imaginary rabbit who befriended James Stewart.
but anyway, it's an excellent film, recommend it to anyone with an open mind.
