I don't know how many times this has been discussed on this board but I really don't care cause it's a film to end all films. Creativity hasn't been this creative with films since Citizen Kane. I posted about it on the warpboard a while ago and no one cared back then but I figure a lot of you have seen it by now. How many of us have seen it and what do we think? Akkad |

Seen it, loved it, replied so many times to this topic that I can't find the motivation to say anything else. |

yeah i saw donnie darko a few days ago... very awesome i reckon...very unique love story... i really love surreal movies like that.. i would also recommend checking out waking life if you havent already...its completely different from donnie darko...but its very surreal and equally awesome |

I am watching it as part of my movie/book club. We are reading Starship Troopers. |

i want to be frank for halloween. donnie darko ranks up there with pi and royal tenenbaums (which comes out on dvd early july, by the way) as far as films go. the dvd commentary for donnie darko is good. it gave the whole movie a new twist for me. actually, the first time i watched it, i rewound it and watched it again. highly recommended. |

Donnie Darko! Akkad |

Requiem for a Dream is disturbing beyond anything else... I never want to watch it again... it was very intense, and portrayed what it wanted to very well, and effectively, but I didn't enjoy it much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

requiem was incredible...it wasnt really meant to be enjoyed...in fact that was the point... people are too used to movies being like rollercoaster rides...you strap yourself in a safe little car...climb a hill...get a few thrills on the way down...and end up safe in the loading dock where you started.. the best movies are the ones that take you somewhere different from where you were...and dont always ensure you a safe ride...and sometimes this results in rides that end by sending the car off a cliff |

Whatever dude! Donnie ends with the main character going through a wormhole. Now that's not any formula in a movie ever. Donnie Darko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Akkad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...i was being too medaphorical there...what i meant was that the best movies are the ones that dont stay on the same track as normal movies... ending the movie by having the main character go through a wormhole is a good example of "going off the track" |

i disliked this movie quite a bit. My friend who runs a movie review website (that gives him INSTANT credibility :p) thought it was overhyped as well. Too much pride is taken in telling everyone how GREAT this UNDERGROUND movie was. It's fun to say how revolutionary and neat it was becuase it was so weird. I find those same people making these claims about it being so wonderful are the same ones who claim to understand Mullhollad Drive from start to finish. Both are BS statements in my opionion. Though provoking, yes. A good movie? Hardly. |

What the fuck ever, you apparently can't think abstractly if you can't understand DD. the story is a perfect mixture of Realism versus fantasy, and how the two correllate at all times. The explanation of the film on the website make it even that more complex and interesting. it's not an uderground film, everyone and their dog are seeing it now on VHS, making pretty out on the open. It has Patrick Swayze in it! He ain't underground one bit. It's an indie flick, that's now a cult classic b/c so many are enjoying and seeing the beautifulness of combining the Breakfast Club with the Twilight Zone, that's creativity and I'm sorry that you can't get into it or respect it but it is one of the best films EVER!

I would like to disagree with you about it's underground nature. Happiness, had John Lovitz in it, more current than Patrick Swayze ever was, yet that movie isn't popular. Nor is John Lovitz underground, like you said Swayze wasn't, that doesn't make a movie a cultural phenomenom. Also, a movie that you have to read an explanation on a website is thought provoking, yes, I said that. But if a movie couldn't tie itself together at it's end for a relativly educated viewer to understand the conclusion, well you certainly can't consider it one of the best films EVER. Ok, so I arguend 2 points. I didn't think my post warranted being sworn at either. |

sorry I'm just passionate about this film. I understood it after two views which I think is a good thing cause a film should be able to be seen multiple times. I've seen it six by now though and I still enjoy it. That's what makes a good film in my opinion. The site just adds to what is already a complete idea on film, the philosophy of time travel on the site explains exactly what Donnie was experiencing, which makes it that much more deep. late Akkad |
