Psychological Thriller that sparks thought

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2005)

For all of those who have not seen Donnie Darko I suggest you go see and for all of you who have seen it and thought it to be "stupid" or "corny" I suggest you carefully watch the movie. I cannot think of another movie with so much symbolism (trampoline, American flag) and with a more accurate portrayal of suburban life. My only knock on the movie is the ending, which I will not ruin for all of you haven't see the movie. It's not so much that the ending doesn't work, but it raises questions about the directors motives. Aren't good endings supposed to spark questions and thought? Maybe the director did accomplish what he wanted, the thought process. If you are a fan of non-traditional movies that are thought provoking, then Donnie Darko will be one of your favorites. Contrary, if you are a mindless, ignorant movie observer, than you will loath Donnie Darko and regard it either as a dumb movie or to complicated for you to comprehend.
