Amazing movie for people who like to think!

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2014)

Donnie Darko is a modern classic. Having just watched this again for the first time in a number of years, I finally understood it! I think you do have to delve a bit deeper with some research outside of just viewing the film but it is well worth it and adds to the whole 'reality' of the universe in which Donnie lives. Mixing drama with sci-fi and horror elements (Frank the bunny manages to scare me every time I watch this film!), everything is orchestrated so neatly by the writer/director. On first viewing, I remember being so confused, but time (and maturity I guess) has allowed it to all sink in and I think that it's a very special movie which is a wonderful addition to the history of cinema. Without delving into the realm of describing plots points, I'll just say check the trailer that is provided on the IMDb page, and if you think you might even be slightly interested from that, then you will definitely think this film is amazing. A very accomplished piece of film making, and a movie everyone should see! And also, as a side note, it was fun to recognise Seth Rogen, who has a couple of lines in the film, before he rose to super stardom!
