Revolutionary

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2006)

This film is really weird. In the best possible sense. Part coming-of-age high school film, part horror, part sci-fi, part drama, part Harvey. What I really like about this movie is how it has a bunch of seemingly disconnected story lines and at the end you realize why each scene fits together. Because of what Donnie does. But really it is just one idea. Not a story idea, or even the vaguest premise. It is about challenging movie goers and movie makers alike to create an active role for the audience. You can't passively watch this movie without ruining it. You need theories and online research and discussion to get the most out of this movie. But it sure helps having an excellent cast and stylish directing. Also a mindbender of a story. and, of course, a six foot tall bunny rabbit that tells you exactly when the world will end.
