Viewing Thread:
"Donnie Darko"

I recall there was another thread on this film but started a new one anyway.

One of the strangest but refreshingly original films I've seen in a long time. Very thought provoking.

Anyone else seen it? And what is that tune called at the end of the film, it's superb.

Its a great but weird movie.

Hard to judge after once viewing.

simple and with many different possibilities?

that's more paradoxical than the time travel theories the film toys with.

:D

That's what is so great about the film - You can have your own induvidual theory to explain it. Other people will have a different one.

Watched it ages ago its weird but worth the watch.

It's simple if you've watched it twice.

Although there are many different possibilities about what happens.

Good film.

The song is by Gary Jules - Mad World. Not the tears for fears version.
The remixed version is good. But the normal version sounds even better when you've been listening to the other version non-stop for 2/4 hours.

You really do need to watch it more than once (I didn't get it first time) and if you're still confused watch it with the Richard Kelly/Jake Gyllenhaal commentary on - they explain it.
