I still havent got round to ordering this yet, but i think ill get it from movirtyme as its cheap there
Obscure, Strange, Different, Fresh, Weird, Simple. <--- All of those.
It is a dark story with various elements involved to keep you riding with it wanting to find out what is going on. Best not to try to work it out and have no expectations but watch and dont give up. Complex film with a simple ending which may leave you bemused or confused. Either way Im sure no two ppl would finish watching that film and give the exact same answer as to:
a) What happened.
b) What it was all about.
P.S. is there going to be another film of Darko or is the website just confusing too? The website talks about other ppl and characters and refers to Donnie at a different age. Strange.

On the subject of Donnie Darko ...
No spoilers please now dearies, but am I on the right track in saying that the story chronicles a comeback collaboration between the Osmonds and the Black and White Minstrels :confused:
I must confess to being a bit confused about it all, but I am looking forward to receiving me £5.99 copy (especially after all the enthusiastic banner waving on these forums). Quite gets me juices flowing :)
a loathe or like it film like many.
Personally I loathed it & thought was pants !
Reasonably well acted - poor story waiting to get started & never did for me.
Many like it though.

Just wanted to bump this to say I received it yesterday and started watching at about midnight. I had no idea what it was about at all - just thought it must be pretty decent to jump out of obscurity onto so many people's top ten films of the year list. I ended up watching it twice, back-to-back, putting off sleep till about 6am! :eek:
Superb, absolutely superb - the most refreshing film I've seen in ages (right up there with J&SBSB in that respect, hehe). The plot is nice and circular while remaining incredibly mysterious. It is well-acted for the most part and the dialogue moves adeptly though light comedy to extremely intense, psychological drama. As has been said here so many times, the soundtrack is awesome (the track selection/musical score and the voice of "Frank" through all the speakers stand out in particular). The other thing that really stands out is the use of incredible violence to "bookend" the storyline - rather audacious on the part of the author/director and pulled off nicely.
It'd get pretty much full marks from me were it not for Drew Barrymore's "acting" - omg, sooooo bad. She sounds like someone role playing in a middle school drama class that can't wait for "going home time". :grin:
Even after watching it twice I can't say I fully understand it. Fantastic. :smashin:

I think Donnie Darko is one of those movies that your friends tell you about. Then, you ask them what it's about, and they won't tell you. They just say "see it!"
Listen to your friends. Like it or loath it (I think the majority is the former, by far) it's simply one of those movies that you have to see if you are a movie fan.
Oh, and speaking of the soundtrack, "Mad World" is by far the best (ie, most appropriate, most enchanting, most powerful) end music of any movie I've ever seen.

My copy arrived yesterday, watched it today. That's another two hours of my life I'll never get back. Still only cost £5.99, probably ought to sell it on, 'played only once'.
There are a myriad of emotions and life episodes that present to every individual as they struggle through life. The problem is, though most of them are critical to the person concerned, they are essentially dull.
definitely one you love or hate; I hate it.

I can understand some people not liking it. Fair enough. But I think you missed the entire point of the movie or you were watching something else. That's not what Donnie Darko is about at all. :eek: Either that or I've missed your point :confused:

All sorts:
The Duellists, The Contender, Beautiful Mind, LOTR, Shrek, Memento, Goodfellas, Usual Suspects, Terminator2, Henry V (both versions), Meet Jo Black, Kalifornia, Reservior Dogs, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Se7en, Fight Club, Gladiator, Fargo, Moulin Rouge, A Knight's Tale, etc.
There have been many films that I thought were poor on first showing, and subsequent viewings of them have changed my opinion. My prejudice used to blind me to Brad Pitt's abilities. I thought he was just a shallow, pretty teenage fantasy. I now think he is one of the best acting talents there is.
What is it that I have missed in Donnie Darko? I thought all the production values and acting was good, but nothing engaged me.
I notice that Aaron Beierle (not one of my favourite reviewers) in DVDTalk is unsure whether he understands all that is going on at the end (THOUGH HE DOES RECOMMEND IT). Like him, I though it had overtones of David Lynch thhough I felt it lacked his magic.
I just could not escape my perception that it was a classic 'here is a guy prepared to say what others think', and 'Oh yes it all makes sense now at the end'. But really a big so what? I was optimistic about this film for the first half, but by the end I just felt I had been exploited.

I really enjoyed Donnie Darko, the acting, photography and soundtrack were superb. But the fact that it is soooo confusing also annoys me intensely, I really don't expect to have to make use of web-sites and explanatory texts in order to understand a film. If you watch the film there is virtually no clue as to the actual plot.
If you watch the deleted scenes it becomes apparent that the lack of any clarity was due in part to the fact that major cuts had to be made in order to fit in with the studio run time of two hours. Now I consider this to be a major flaw on the part of the director... he's been told he's got two hours to tell his story but instead decided to make a two and half hour long film and make up the difference through cuts.
It's like James Cameron being told to trim the running time of Titanic and him deciding to remove all the shots of the cruise liner!:lesson:

Good films. Agreed on the BP thing - used to think the same myself (Cameron Diaz as well, to a lesser extent).
I think I know what you mean - gives the impression of a film that tries hard to be thought provoking but has no real sense of meaning and instead appears to be a lame compendium covering many psychological bases. "Weird for the sake of being weird", if you like.
Personally I don't think that's the case and it's struck a chord with so many people because you make what you want of it. It's deliberately quirky and IMO leaves alot of things unresolved (cuts & edits aside). I was the opposite of you - found the beginning a bit turnoffish but got sucked in as it progressed. That end sequence with "Mad World" playing is one of the best cinematic moments ever, in my opinion.
MuFu.
P.S. Thanks for responding to my question - I didn't expect you to list "Armageddon, Independence Day, Last Action Hero, Pearl Harbour, Twister, Street Fighter the Movie, xXx etc...." just in case you got that impression. :grin:

DD I like a lot, but it isn't top ten material. I like being challenged, but I like being involved in a story too - that's what DD lacks. It really feels the loss of the deleted scenes.

Interesteing the films at the end that you (MuFu) list. I have bought four of them, though I have to bite my tongue in order to enjoy the sound and special effects (the bombing of Pearl Harbor sequence is outstanding), even then I feel used.
By the way I missed things off my list like Natural Wonders of the World and Boobcage. :grin:

On a side note, has anybody else noticed how in movies she is awesome, but in real life has unbelievably bad dress sense, freakishly broad shoulders and an annoying, whiny voice that unfortunately makes her seem as thick as ultra-thick pig poop that's been left out in the snow for a week? :(

Gotta disagree. This "confusion" was one of the things that I liked most about it. Too many movies these days are just too easy. There is almost no challenging cinema in the mainstream these days. Hollywood's idea of a brilliant, cutting edge plot is "Sixth Sense." (not trashing the movie, just making a point)
I saw Donnie Darko without any prior knowledge, and part of what I loved was having to actually pay attention to what was going on! Sure, I like popcorn flicks where you can shut your brain off, but I prefer movies with substance. I'm sure the deleted scenes and the website flesh out the story, but I had no problem understanding the plot without them.
We could use more movies that force the viewer to fill in a few blanks. Too much nowadays is spelled out in black and white.
Add to that great characters, some brilliant dialog, a near-perfect soundtrack, and you get one very powerful film.
But I do agree that Barrymore's acting was flat. :grin:

***POTENTIAL SPOILERS***
Ok a lot of talk about how good Donnie Darko is but what are your theories on what the film was about.
Mine is that Donnie's pain came from being able to see the future and the path that everybody is taking in life, which will ultimately lead to the death of of his dream girl. Therefore by staying in his room he knows he will end his own pain and save the girl.
The thing that confused me though is could, and did donnie travel through time.

I think you must be in the minority then, actually understanding what was going on during the film as several of the past few posts prove. I don't see the need to leave blanks in plots, surely cinema is a form of storytelling, the story being crucial to that. Mind you I also think Mulholland Dr was Lynch's worse film for that reason and I seem to be in a HUGE minority on that one.
I watched Donnie Darko the other day with the commentary for the first time and director richard kelly happily spouts out that this and that is happening on screen while there are no visual clues to support what he's saying (it had me shouting at the screen:grin: ). To my mind as writer and director of Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly understood exactly what was going on at all times because he had conceived the story but this was the problem, he was too close to the story directed it from his enlightened point of view not taking into account that someone new to the story (ie his entire audience) might not have a clue what was going on.
Good film though!:rotfl:
i watched it for the first time last weekend and all i can say is... yes yes yes.
what a hugely original, off the wall, enjoyable film.
and to think it only cost $5 million to make.

So what are you saying, that we have to watch deleted scenes (twice) just to understand a movie??
What about people that want to watch a film at the cinema?
I saw DD for the first time tonight, and feel disappointed. I want to watch a film once only, and feel totally captivated for 2 hours, and feel that a director has let me into his/her mind.
I have neither the time nor inclination to spend an hour watching deleted scenes etc after a DVD has finished.

i thought it was a wonderful film when I first saw it. It asked more questions then it answered and made my head hurt but I enjoyed it immensely.
However, watching the deleted scenes, commentary, looking on internet and talking about it on previous threads did answer the questions asked the first time I watched it. This led to a fuller appreciation of the movie.
Well done Mr Kelly

Have to agree with azrikam - I loved the fact that I had to figure it out on my own and wasn't served up a plot on a plate (heh)! I had to watch it four times before it really started to make sense, but I enjoyed it every time (and every time I watched it I noticed more and enjoyed it more).
Last night I followed Squirrel's advice and went back to the DVD for the deleted/extended scenes and director's commentary, and checked out the website. I have to warn you - if you enjoyed the feeling of not quite knowing what's going on, but given time and multiple viewings you think you'll prolly figure it out, then don't watch the commentary or deleted scenes!!!! Not yet, anyway.
If I had watched them after the first time I saw it, I really think it would've spoiled it. I'm sure I would've still enjoyed it, but it wouldn't occupy the significant place in my heart it does today. The process of squeezing more and more out of it over time, and over several viewings (it must've been about 7 months between my first and fourth viewings), and really getting to know the movie and the characters, has made it really special. And the fact that I figured it out for the most part on my own meant that being told what it was "supposed" to be about was okay. :)
I still think as it stands (i.e. without the deleted scenes, and without explanation by Mr. Kelly), it's open to plenty of interpretations, and is more a work of audio-visual poetry than a science fiction/superhero story (as the director would have it), or anything else. If I'd watched the deleted scenes and had it all explained to me from the get-go I wouldn't have had a chance to explore its real depth.
Anyway, I'll take off my Pretentious Cap now before I get beaten up. :grin:
BTW, Jake Gyllenhaal is one funny boyo - was anyone else absolutely CRACKING UP when he did his Christopher Walken impression?? :grin: :grin:
