Donnie Darko - finally saw it

(1/6) > >>

Sideways:
Now I see what the hype was about!

this was a very enjoyable movie.  Great characters, solid acting, and a really unique story, that ties-together very nicely at the end.

It does what a good movie /should/ do... it leaves you, at the end, with a lot to think about.  You have to spend a few moments going back over the events of the film, making the connections, putting the pieces together.

While it's not the best movie I've ever seen, it was definately a very good film.

Kid Modernist:
I really really enjoyed it the first time I saw it. Frank creeped me out something fierce. The only problem with it, for me, was the second time around it lacked the creepy/weird aspect (in such great amounts). So for me it was great the first time but lacks repeatable watching-ness.

Sideways:
SPOILER ALERT!

(click to show/hide)The thing I've found myself wondering is; Considering he could see 'Frank' but hadn't met 'Frank', and yet there was a real person, who was shot in the eye, and wore that costume on Halloween... had he travelled back before, and just wasn't aware of it?

Maybe just an oddball theory about the movie, but perhaps he was so messed-up because he kept repeating the events, a la Groundhog Day, but unaware, until the final cycle when everything fell into place, and all these little clues were left for him to follow... so he would know how to finally break the cycle...

Sound crazy?

TheLoweringTide:
The premise is that time moves in predestined patterns, but sometimes things go wrong and it's up to individuals with the power to alter time to fix it.

The movie itself could be open for interpretation, but if you go to the website and listen to the director's commentary, it's all pretty cut and dry.

It's an ok movie, but it's only about 65% as intellectual as it wants to be.

Inlander:
BIG question: did you see the "Director's cut", or the (in my opinion, infinitely better) original version?
