Alright, I chose this movie not because there is a brother-sister duo as a starring role but the message is a freaky type, rabbit through the rabbithole type of movie. Donnie Darko is the movie I chose this week due to the complexity of the movie. You may think that you have a clue about what is going on in the movie but once you really get into it then you start to understand.
Donnie Darko takes a dark loo intoa family in the suburbs. The Darko family is like your average family Mother,Father and three great children. The middle child, who happens to be the only boy in the family is diagnosed with a bipolar disorder and is given medicine to put it at bay.This is where the trouble begins, we first meet Donnie when he is sleeping in a golf course and is woken by some golfers. Pretty soon after that Donnie is met with strange visions and becomes friends with a man dressed in a rabbit suit,named Frank.
Here’s a Trailer:
Little does the audience remebers when they watch this that the Tanget Universe in ending and there is really nothing that can be done, at least I don’t think so. But while in the process of having these “conversations” with Frank, Donnie goes on a little call of duty message. He vandalizes his schools statue, burns a local star’s home, but also leades to the aresst of the owner, due to some quite disgusting photos found in his basement. So I guess there was some god to come out of it. Pretty soon times start to end and Donnie is starting to figure it out. Donnie feels like he is the messenger and he has done everything that he can do.Until Everyone invovled wakes up!
There is a song played towards the end of the movie called “Mad World.” The song was originally song by the 80s Band Tears for Fears, but for the movie it was remade by Gary Jules The dark and erie tone of the song sets the mood for what is about to happen to Donnie and his family.
I would recommend this movie to anyone that is of age. Due to the fact that the movie is Rated-R. But there is great cameos made by Drew Barrymore and Patrick Sawyze.
Until Next Time….Stay Fly
