An early 2000s movie with fantastic use of music and camera effects to leave a desire to watch again and again, as well as an ending that is as open to interpretation as the meaning of life, leaves this movie in a class of its own. A simple google search of the movie will display just how many different views and opinions on the ending are out there; a sure sign of its quality.
Donnie is a regular schoolboy on first appearance; however, soon we find that he has some psychological issues as well as being somewhat of a genius. He meets a girl and instantly falls for her and spends his time with her, however an accident near the begining of the movie is explained later on with a massive plot twist.
An evening watching Donnie Darko can involve so many emotions and different moods, it is almost exhausting in an entertaining and fascinating way. From depressive, to a love tale as uplifting as any, to the sad reality in the last few moments on screen where the main character laughs at the audience for being so serious, this movie will have anyone that puts thought into it left in tears and confusion. A truly fantastic and entertaining movie, that to a younger audience may be scary but to adult eyes only sad and slightly sci-fi gloomy, I give this film 4.5 stars from 5.
