Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko. Spooky. Intriguing. Irresistable. Yes, this is a good movie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore<\/a>, Patrick Swayze, Jena Mal0ne<\/p>\n

Written and Directed by: Richard Kelly<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one weird movie. And having seen it for the second time,\u00a0I mean this in a good way.<\/p>\n

It was a friend’s birthday and we got him a mid-sized figure of the Bunny-rabbit Frank from the movie.<\/p>\n

For those of you who haven’t seen it, here is Frank:<\/p>\n

\"500full-donnie-darko-poster\" Don’t worry. You do get to know what’s with the weird suit, where (most of) Donnie (J. Gyllenhaal) ‘s troubles come from.You will however probably be left with some questions in your head so I suggest the director’s cut.<\/p>\n

The plot is too complicated to give it justice but let’s just say Donnie is a troubled\u00a0upper-middle class teenager who isn’t exactly on great terms with his family. Things get creepier when he starts to see the images of this man-sized rabbit that talks to him and directs him-\u00a0it even saves Donnie’s life. So Donnie starts doing things that could get him in trouble. So he has to deal with weird teachers (with the exception of the science teacher and the English teacher (Drew Barrymore<\/a>), the sexual frustrations of an adolescent, the intensity of his feelings for the new girl, his sanity,questions about the possibility of time travel and his psychiatrist… It’s fun, dark, thrilling and well-shot. The music is pretty cool and the plot is original. At least I haven’t seen the same elements combined like this and have\u00a0a good result.<\/p>\n

What the hell is the rabbit doing with Donnie? I find the answer to be original. I don’t think it is as brilliant and breath-taking as the 8.3 ranking it got from the IMDB voters but I think it is a solid 7.5<\/p>\n

Give it a shot. Or just watch it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
