The world of Donnie.

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2004)

"Donnie Darko" is a very well developed movie. After watching the commentaries, I gained much respect for the cast and crew. Not only did not one person get paid for the film, but they did all of the scenes in 28 days.
Many big blockbusters of today don't have near the acting or script that "Donnie Darko" achieved and take months or even years to accomplish. The director did an amazing job with the sources he had, and in the end, had a great cast of actors and actresses. The ending also lets the viewer decide for themselves the whole meaning of the movie. The movie also sticks in your head. I saw the film approximately 2 weeks ago and still can't stop thinking about it. The movie makes you think a lot about what happened and makes you want to go back and watch it again to make sure you didn't miss something. I'm very excited to see the directors cut edition of the film that is said to come out sometime this summer. If you saw the deleted scenes on the DVD, you know that there was plenty more to put into the movie that would make it even better. In conclusion I would like to say that I believe this movie is one of the greatest films I've ever seen and I truly look forward to seeing more work from this director and his cast and crew.
