Donnie Darko

Alright, so I finnally watched this film (thanks dude) after I've been meaning to for a long time. So what did I think? Well, I'm still absorbing it but I did like it and I would recomend it to anyone. However, I do have one problem with it. After watching the film I created a theory of what happened and why that made sense to me. Now that I watched the deleted scenes and part of the commentary I realized I was completely wrong. I think that the filmmakers idea is very interesting and does really explain a lot of what happens in the film as well as working very nicely into Joseph Conrad's concept of a hero. The problem is the orginal film did not make the thesis and point very clear. There were several major scenes that were cut out that would completely explain everything clearly. Anyway, good film if anyone wants to discuss it come talk to me.
