Hi, today I'm going to write a Donie Darko review. First of all this movie is an art production that homage to 80s culture (that references other 80s films). When I saw this movie I can write that he is an smart and troubled dude, who is misunderstood by his enviroment (like school and his parents). It doesn't get clear if his schizophrenic episodes are the result of stop taking medication or is real life beacuse medication is just placebo. I don't think it is a great film, but maybe because I don't get it at all or just aspires to greatness. It is a very weird movie, just remember the evil-looking rabbit telling him about the world is going to end in like 28ish days. Then an aeroplane engina fall fall from the sky to Donnie's house but the next day FAA tells his family no planes were in the area that night. Some of what I read on Internet was kind of just theological speculation. But it could be correct because there are a lot of blank places in the narrative.
So my review is: It is not a great film, and in fact is deeply flawed. The science fiction does not hold up. Everything in the movie can be product of his overheated brain. You can argue that some of what happens in Donnie Darko may be real or just fantasy, but the distinctions are not all that important because all these things intermingle freely, its like when you wake up sometimes and there is a moment when you are not quite sure what is real, or a dream o a memory.
Thanks for reading
Bye!
