movie review: Donnie Darko

okay. i'm not really sure what i think about the movie. its one of the ones where the ending doesn't explain itself at all, so your left drawing your own conclusions.

i came up with one theory (we can discuss it if you've seen it)

the movie really freaked me out.

lots of famous people are in the movie, i'm surprised i never heard about it. i think it was an indie film 'cause its recent but for the life of me can't remember if it was in theaters ever.


i'd say if your not a thinking person this movie isn't for you.

if you like to draw your own conclusions about movies....i'd say watch it.

the soundtrack is awesome. all the acting is good.

i give it a 3 out of 5 stars but only because i believe my theory about the ending.....

i think the girl is a meataphor for his world. the whole movie talked about how the world was going to end and then the girl dies and then he goes back in time to die.

he knows "his world" is going to end so he just basically allows himself to be killed by the falling engine...

An excellent excellent movie! I have seen it many times. The great thing about it is that everytime you see it, you catch something different thus causing you to reform your theory on the meaning behind it...

well.. thats pritty much how i remember it... i dont think he did it to save every one.. i think he did it just so she would live, i thought it was funny that every one else woke up that day as if the future was just a dream, and realizing what had happend and what kinda people they are... i thought it was hilarious that the motivational speeker was a pedo.. you cant define life as left or right, black and white, right and wrong.. there is alot more gray area then you think there would be.. i forgot what she was trying to make him put it into.. was it right or hate ? something stupid like that...
