"Life is one long insane trip. Some people just have better directions." — Donnie Darko.

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2017)

The actual plot of "Donnie Darko" —During the presidential election of 1988, a teenager named Donnie Darko sleepwalks out of his house one night, and sees a giant, demonic-looking rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. He returns home the next morning to find that a jet engine has crashed through his bedroom. As he tries to figure out why he survived and tries to deal with people in his town, like the school bully, his conservative health teacher, and a self-help guru, Frank continues to turn up in Donnie's mind, causing him to commit acts of vandalism and worse.
How? Like this: Dark. Darker. Darko.
Richard Kelly's debut film is beautiful and bizarre. The audience hopes to solve questions asked by the film, but by the time the curtains close, we have more questions than answers.
"Destruction is a form of creation" – Donnie Darko. The time stamp mantra in the movie "28:06:42:12" or how the long the world had left in the movie was created simply by adding or subtracting 1 to each number in how long a lunar cycle takes, which is 27:07:43:11. You can thank me (or astronomy) for that.
No to mention the moment: A jet engine crashes into Donnie's bedroom. Darko.
