"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2013)

Let me start by saying that this is by far my favorite movie. It's mind blowing! When I saw it the first time, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I wasn't even sure if I got the story right. So my point is that Donnie Darko is a movie you have to watch more than just once.
OK, so the story is a masterpiece. I cannot even say what's so good about it but if someone asked me, my first guess would be that every person can interpret it in his on way. But it will always be right. Every character in the movie is used well and every word he says is important for the movie. The big scary rabbit called Frank who's Donnie's illusion is so freaking awesome. His voice, his costume and his monotony are perfect.
Jake Gyllenhaal who embodies Donnie Darko is just amazing. His performance couldn't be better. We can sense his teenage-rebellious side and his schizophrenic-dark side. I think Gyllenhaal was perfect for the role. The way he talks and moves...everything fits. Mary Mcdonnell aka. his mother is just as perfect. We can see a typical mother who loves her son and is desperate to see him get better. I was really amazed by her performance when she realizes her son has an imaginary friend who is a big scary rabbit. Maggi Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore and Jena Malone were amazing just as well.
The music is amazing and at moments even mind blowing. Every time Frank shows on the screen and that scary music plays, shivers go down my body.
But all thanks go to Richard Kelly and the producers. oh and by the way, I was pretty stunned to hear that Drew Barrymore was one of the producers.
So anyway, I made all my friends watch Donnie Darko and they all loved it. But i still think that Donnie Darko isn't a film everybody will like. People have different opinions and if you don't like this movie it doesn't mean that you're stupid.
