Donnie dark is a !@# great film or what???

It seems like everyone i know either:
a. *loves* this movie for the fantastic one-of-a-kind artistic piece it is, or
b. *hate* it for being so cryptic and inexplicable.

I for one admire it! I think it has that certain elusive quality that makes it kind of transcend any specific genre or niche; it does not fall into any particular 'bucket' i can think of in terms of the normal kind of movies you see these days. Plus, the whole 80's mood/soundtrack is awesome!!

Is it normal?!?!

    Wait for this shit then, they are making a sequel it's called A Donnie Darko Tale.

    Is it just me or do you know this is going to be a steaming pile of turd (Even though yes I love the original film)

      They have a movie about Donnie's youngest sister called S. Darko. It was okay, I guess.

    I adore this film! Most of my friends don't get it, but I don't mind.

    I liked it :) It was one of those things that seemed to stay with me.

    Not too keen on the sequel idea though.

    I'm iffy on the soundtrack, but the score is super beautiful.

    I don't see how it was cryptic. I got it the first time. It's about fate, paranormal time-hole theories, and an angsty high school boy. A big, dark, beautiful "What if?".

    Kind of sad to realize that because you're alive, your loved ones die. So in the end, Donnie Darko decides to stay in bed so the people he loves can live.

  • Is that the movie with the rabbit?
    Seriously, i found it pointless BUT kind of funny in its random-ness.
    Everyone has different tastes in movies, so there:)

  • Sstory? There is no story; it's a pointless, boring, emotionless piece of turd that only interest the type people that look into things too much, so that they see what isn't really there.

    S.Darko isn't as good, and it doesn't really have much to do with the first one. But I loved Donnie darko.

    I love "Donnie Darko" and I recently saw "Mr. Nobody" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485947/). It is also a great movie and if you liked DD, I recommend this one too.

    Just watched it again today. Great movie but the second one, S. Darko was HORRIBLE! If you like these weird types of movies then check out Mullholland Drive.

    I actually watched this movie last night for the first time and I can't secid if I like it or not. It was sorta confusing and had the most random stuff in that movie:
    Insane boy on meds
    Sleepwalking
    Evil bunny
    Time travel
    Love
    An old lady walking to her mailbox
    This movie was crazy. I seriously think this movie somehow makes us insane.

    It was a good movie but it is way over-rated. Watch it again in a year, than in 5. Hopefully by then you'll see what I mean..

    Is s. Darko any good? If not I won't watch it it'll ruin the first one.

  • The only flaws with Donnie Darko: too much ambiguity and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Every single line in that movie is significant in some way, which is amazing. They already made a direct to DVD sequel, it's called S. Darko and it's horrible. Different writers and cast and everything.

    It's certainly normal to like the film, though I disagree that it is somehow inspired. These little metaphysical twists have been embedded in movies for years. Jacob's Ladder was a great example, and there were others before that. Love the genre.

    eh, it strikes me as pretentious. Full of itself. But the story's pretty cool anyway.
