An Indie Film for the Ages

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2004)

I saw this movie for the first time at a party at around midnight when i was hopped up on caffine and sugar. It totally blew my mind out. Then i watched it again when and it still blew me away. The writing for this film was unbelievable. The fact that Richard Kelly could come up with this vision and turn it into a movie amazes me. The characters evolve continually and move through a web of complete insanity. The plot of the movie is so twisted and inexplicable that you just need to see the movie for yourself. After watching Donnie Darko you'll spend about two weeks trying to figure out what just happened. It makes you look deeper into the meaning of life and what we are meant to do. I know that sounds cliché and all but its true. I also must add that the song that plays at the end can move a rock to tears. That's how emotional the ending is, it just really gets to you. All i can say is just go see the film, thats all there is to it!
