Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2008)

If I could give this movie a 20 I would.
Donnie Darko was at first a movie I was not interested in.
Usually, movies that involve parallel universes are full of non sense and make ridiculous statements.
Donnie Darko paints a familiar picture with space and time.
A frightening, yet beautiful script which fits in with unforgettable acting.
This movie gave me quite a scare. To think of the end of the world coming so soon, is very frightening. Intertwining characters with anxious teenagers, Gretchen and Donnie, as well as Cherita and Barrymore, all characters, big or small, all play some role in this play, (Obviously)
There are no "nobodies" in Donnie Darko. I was surprised to find that this was Kelley's first film.
If you are intellectual enough, this movie is not as much of a challenge to grasp.
If you are looking for a simple movie, Donnie Darko is most definitely NOT for you.
I am probably repeating myself, but as a final statement, this movie is twisted, disgusting, amazing, realistic, and extremely raw, but for a single word: my summary, beautiful.
