Donnie Darko is an amazing watching-movie experience for me.

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2019)

I wonder what's in the minds of filmmakers who created Donnie Darko. This film looks absurd in various aspects of cinematography, ranging from shooting, color grading, to scoring music.
However, after watching it, for some reason, I want to go back to watching it again. When I have watched it the second time, I want to watch it again.
There is something strange, yes, I see this film as an absurd film, but instead, it gives me a unique viewing experience. The first thing I underline is the expression of Jake Gyllenhaal (one of my favorite actors, for me Gyllenhaal is already at God-tier actor level).
First watching, I consider this an absurd movie that will just pass by on my movie list. But it made me want to watch it again. The second time I watch, I began to feel something strange in this movie but did not understand whether the oddity was in narration or visualization. Third-time watch, this is a movie that was worked on with a very extraordinary idea, even I suspect the filmmaker also did not know what was happening with this movie. Donnie Darko became an absurd genius movie that unconsciously made me watch it repeatedly. Tonight is the fourth time I watched it.
