Darko

I just recently saw Donnie Darko for the first time, and I have to admit that I’m a little obsessed.  I mean, really.  WHO COMES UP WITH THESE MOVIES?????  Richard Kelly is truly an amazing thinker.  I cannot believe the sheer creative genius that it would take to come up with an idea like a six foot man in a bunny suit that prophesizes doomsday to a teenage mental case and then proceeds to force him to do his bidding, all the while holding over the boy’s head the fact that he saved his life from a jet turbine that crashed through the roof into his bed.  And then, infuse all that with a bittersweet—albeit quite abnormal—teenage love story and you’ve got yourself a winner of a movie.
