Movie great, Score great!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2005)

This is one of my favorite movies all times... Maybe it is because I like cult, but I have also some empathy with Donnie (Jack Gyllenhaal).
It would be ridiculous to state, as a number one fan, that I totally understand the movie. I watched it several times, played the games, did the tests and even THEN it's not always clear what director Richard Kelly is trying to do.
One of the other + things about this movie, is the music. Most of it is written by composer Michael Andrews (you probably heard his Mad World song (taken from Donnie Darko)together with Gary Jules. His scores are superb and with his MiniMoog he knows how to give you the eerie chills! As a producer, I did a hip hop version of one of his scores (by his personal approval), just to let you know how fond I am of this movie. I can't really compare it with others....it is about the time tangent, love, future, history, common things in life. Every teenager (well, not every, but most of them) can identify themselves with Donnie. I can't really tell you too much about the movie and plot, because that would spoil it.
Let me tell you this...after the movie I bough a "dark" o rabbit, named Frank. That is how much I like it. After seen the movie you catch my drift! hahaha Have fun watching it!
