got me thinking

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2020)

This movie really f@#%$d up my brain, it's obviously a movie that sets you thinking afterwards, from what I heard, but this is a whole new level, Jesus. Although i really liked it i felt like they could've worked better on the storyline, the plot itself is really well thought and would make a great movie. But perhaps they could've started the movie with him seeing things for the first time. Because now i felt like i was watching a part two of something. You kinda fell into their lives instead of building a 'bond' with the main family, not that that makes any sense but whatever. So i get the whole schizophrenic because my therapist says so but Donnie never explained why he got these 'episodes' or when or what he might've done to make that happen. The rabbit was just there of a sudden. I don't like when there are too many subplots in movies like with this one, you had the teacher that got fired, Donnie's sister with her boyfriend, what happened to the fat Chinese kid, where did Gretchens mom go all of a sudden? When you add so many details to a movie you don't have enough time to work them all out at the end and they sorta hang there. I love Jake Gyllenhaal he did amazing in this movie, I never did like Jena Malone tho, i just don't think she is such a great actress. So overall great plot with a storyline they could've worked out WAY better with the resources in 2001. Would watch again because it got me f@#%$d up.
