Outstanding, brilliant, & complex.

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2005)

Donnie Darko is a teenager who lives a normal life. Until that fateful date October 2nd 1988, strange occurrences and events will happen to Donnie which he cannot explain.
The movie begins on a cliff top. Donnie Darko gazes at the horizon at night. He then rides his bike to his home, and everything seems quite normal. Later on that night he goes to bed and swears at his Mom for no reason.
He then hears a strange voice from somewhere it summons him to follow this Bunny it says "In 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds the world will end". Donnie sleepwalks out of the house. Just as he leaves a plane crashes into his Mom's house he just left. Nobody was killed or injured.
The next 28 days Donnie Darko will behave in a more aggressive manner towards his friends and family. The Bunny appears several times in this movie and tells Donnie to perform evil acts of violence such as flooding a school and arson. Later on he meets a girl at school. It's all very confusing and hard to figure out why this Bunny talks to Donnie, it all becomes clearer at the end or does it. I won't give the ending away it will spoil your enjoyment. When I Watched the ending I was surprised, amazed, confused and bewildered. You will be too unless you are clever and solved the clues to this complex movie.
Definitely watch Donnie Darko for it's original,brilliant and fantastic story. The best movie I've seen in a long time. I am going to see it at least 2 more times,it's that good. Also I will buy it on DVD. Don't miss it your perspective on life will make you think.
