Default Re: Donnie Darko?

I have to state I only said it was "interesting". I just felt it needed defending from people who clearly weren't paying attention (*cough*). The film is kinda contrived and intangible - I agree it tries too hard to be "wierd" and hence is somewhat pretentious (it's also difficult to talk about without sounding so yourself [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]). But it also works on many levels (symbolic, emotional, thriller), its funny, great soundtrack, lots of movie references, makes you think etc.
