Review: I think the main theme of this movie is summed up in the middle, where Donnie is talking to a not so useful self-help guru and says something along the following lines: Yes, I'm afraid and I'm confused. But I think you're the f ** king antichrist! In the end, _Donnie Darko_ is a film about people who feel life and all the emotions inside her deeply. Donnie is the same (often brave) young sweet basically that is pathologically lands referred loneliness and the idea of ​​spiritual isolation. His search for meaning and self-discovery leads him to the periphery of our reality, which only serves to further isolate the world he loves. The few who understand what you are going through Donnie go largely unnoticed (as his girlfriend Gretchen tragically overweight or even remarkable sensible girl) or unappreciated (as Karen, Professor angle; s The only sin is trying to show students that no.'s no such thing as a true end) Of course, this film away from polarization characters (in fact, the polarization is the ONLY , last thing that this film wants to accomplish) and most are just a jumble of beauty and the grotesque: the Donner parents, who am, n Amoroso time perpetually confused, self-help Jim mentioned Cunningham, who is desperate to spread the lie that keeps you healthy all others, and sister Donna, torn between his identity as an adult and his identity as a child. And then there's Frank. All I can say here is that nothing can prepare you for or adequately describe Frank.Probably best of this movie, however, is its incredible emotional range. He manages to inspire hope, love, fear, laughter and tears at different points throughout the movie without feeling the least that there is a contradiction; between these states. The scenes with Frank (especially that which occurs in the office of therapists in the context of a conversation about the end of the world), frankly, are some of the hardest things I've seen in a m movie because they literally make my skin crawl. Finally, the performances in this film are exquisite. The talent in this film is top notch and even Gyllenhall is just amazing. That said, however, this film has a bleak future. It combines the fact that the vast majority of the movie going public is just going to find unbearably strange with the fact that the film begins with a portion of a plane crash against a building (this should be the definition of a bad time) and its pretty clear that this film will stay underground. However, if you are looking for a beautiful experience with a single film, _Donnie Darko_ is about as good as it gets.
