I just watched this for the first time. i dont even know what to say

i just watched this for the first time. i dont even know what to say

Then don't say anything

KIDDIE PORN DUNGEON

ALL AROUND ME ARE FAMILIAR FACES

but seriously, tell us how you really feel

Sec, checking IMDB for how I feel.

Your silence is a product of fear user.

You're suck a fuck-ass OP.

I just wish there was more to it. Like the conclusion wraps it all up neatly, and it does leave a lot open to interpretation, but i don't know if it really contributes to anything. Like all the rabbits constantly littered throughout the film. It always felt like it should've been more memorable, but by the end you realize all it is, is showing that the rabbit is all around him, and it isn't easy to escape. That's not bad, by any means, but it feels like theres something I'm missing.

What do you guys think?

Yes you're right. I am afraid... and I'm quite confused too. But I thinik you're the fucking antichrist

kek, sorry. was trying to think of exactly what i wanted to say

comfy as fuck movie. I don't care if Tumblr teens "ruined" it, I'll always enjoy Donnie Darko

Now watch the director's cut and pause to read the philosophy of time travel pages.

...

You can always watch the sequel.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

fuck i didn't even realize there was a director's cut. how is it compared to the regular version?

More explanations, weird and pointless soundtrack changes, altered pacing.

so, not as good?

Eh, opinions differ but it really is shit.

It's neither better or worse. The film doesn't gain anything from the added material.

OP here.

I have a question for you guys. What do you think about the bathroom scene after donnie writes the phrase on the chalkboard? The quality is significantly worse than the rest of the film. Is it symbolic? did they run out of money to afford the nicer camera? I'm stumped.

It gave me a nightmare silent-hill-esque vibe. I doubt the mirror situation forced them to make such a grainy shot.

I find it interesting how frank turned out to be some kid in a rabbit costume. no complicated symbolism or anything, just some kid who wanted to design a scary rabbit costume, but didn't design the mask's eye holes properly a nice touch to sorta turn all this crazy nonsense into crazy sense

i appreciated it, it gave that scene and extra bit of charm and intrigue. it was so short, to the point, and packed full of characterization for both characters, the weird camera is like a way to give this one scene a distinct look to emphasize how important it really is

One of the special additions has pages from the book in the movie. Allegedly Donnie was supposed to have crazy superpowers, and pretty much all of his friends are supposed to be dead people trying to distract him from saving the universe or whatever he was supposed to do. Frank was just took it a way to make Donnie focus solely on him

that'd be weird

Donnie Darko is one of those movies you think is really cool as a teenager but you think less and less of it as you get older

FYI it's based off of the real Bunnyman Bridge in Virginia. Dude in a Bunnyman suit used kill people and/or scare and/or try to kill people. It was a lover's lane location for teenagers. Still exists. Spoopy as fuck.

Literally made for the purpose of being intentionally confusing and pretentious. Kelly has admitted this.

The important thing to note from the movie is that Donnie Darko lost his virginity before the tangent universe he was in collapsed onto itself as he entered the wormhole allowing his consciousness to return to his primary universe body preventing him from leaving his bed that fateful night and allowing the paradox jet engine from the now collapsed universe to crush him and prevent it all from happening in the first place. In short, losing your virginity before you die is so important, universes will be created and destroyed to make it happen.

this is one of the most pretentious movies of all time

ask any hipster who doesnt know shit about film what their top 10 favorite movies are and they will most definitely say this shit in the list

this movie is what teenage girls in highschool think is a masterpiece

if you like this shit then you should feel ashamed, fucking pleb

Well shit. I like it, and feel no shame. Blow me faggot.

I think they moved on to other things now so it's cool to like it again

>being unnecessarily contrarian and getting butthurt as fuck

>calls others hipsters

The movie was good, faggot. Go cry about it.

You probably don't want to use buzzwords like 'pleb' when trying to declare others as pretentious. You basically just went on a rant declaring yourself superior to all those people who think they're better than you.

The special edition just makes it worse. Shitty exposition through book pages of half baked ideas. It's better in the standard format. I really liked the movie, but it isn't a masterpiece or even great. I feel like the ending was a big cop out for actually writing something meaningful.

Where he suddenly touches the mirror or frank or something? I forget the quality of the camera, but I loved the abruptness.

>tells me to blow him
>calls me the faggot

>says this movie was good
>calls me the faggot

i never said you faggots where pretentious
i said you guys are plebs
i said the movie was pretentious
faggot you have no reading comprehension

how fucking sensitive can fans of this movie be LOL
its almost as if you are the little girls this movie was intended for...

PS. this movie fucking sucks and you both have shit taste

i bet you guys like GoT
plebs are going to pleb

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you may just not be smart enough given how angry you feel towards a movie made over a decade ago

>it thinks im angry

not only are you an idiot
youre an autistic idiot

im pretty sure youre more rustled than i am since im not upset at all

i just came here to talk shit about a terrible movie, stating facts

the movie you like is bad and you should feel bad

congrats, you basically made a post which is the internet version of a nervous smile shaky voice asspained knee-jerk reply to someone irl desperately trying to save face when you got called out on your previous pissing of your pants

It was almost a really terrible movie but it's a miracle that it came off so well. I didn't understand the tone it was going for, one scene it was slapstick comedy the next scene it was surreal psychological horror. The entire movie was a fluke.

wtf are you going on about hahaha

the delusions are high with this "guy"

This movie fucking sucks

>movies can't have more than one tone
comedy and horror are perhaps the best merged genres anyway.

You don't seem to understand just hot butthurt and stupid you look right now

It's not that they can't have more than one tone I just feel this movie didn't quite know the direction it was going in, like the frames of the picture themselves became self aware and tried to tell its own story seperate from the narrative.

>WAHHH STOP LIKING WHAT I DONT LIKE!!!

explain how this movie is shit exactly. it's comfy as fuck and has an entertaining story that's original and creative. Great acting, ominous soundscapes perfect for the scenes, and fantastic cinematography for that type of movie.

Why do you faggots here on this board have such "high" standards yet none of you niggers actually break down your reasoning from a creative and artistic way with regards to cinema?

Fact of the matter is, the majority of you queers are armchair critics that spam Bane and capefag threads. The amount of filters i have for this board is fucking insane compared to the others. All the time with the shit meme posting and god awful meme threads.

>its a blah blah blah episode
>wtf was hurrrrr problem amirite guise?!?
>blah blah innevitable biopic XDDD

Faggots, the lot of you

And when you get as asspained as you are about someone saying, "yeah man, it's a pretty good movie. Check it out sometime." and you start crying "PRETENTIOUS SHIT MOVIE FUCKING PLEB HURRRRRR MUH KINO" you illustrate for us in great detail just how sad and fucking pathetic you are.

This board has turned into a fucking dumpster fire.

Die in a fire, faggot. You are the cancer that is killing this site.

This movie was shit
So fucking convoluted and pretentious

Wtf, you guys have to be 18 to post here

No, I understand the psychological need you have placed on inventing in your mind a scenario where you didn't get put in your place to such a degree ITT that you had to resort to a series of "nervous smile" knee-jerk replies hoping to save face after your stereotypical permavirgin chanspeak rant about how superior you are to those pretentious plebs.

U

Mad

Bro

you do have a valid point which I am willing to defend.

>WAHHH STOP HATING WHAT I LIKE

Good job faggot, you're just as bad as the people you're criticizing.

yea. got anymore recycled memes you feel like regurgitating, faggot?

No, I'm not. at all. I asked him to give a valid reason for why he thinks it's so bad.

You know there is a way to articulate a contradicting point without being a complete faggot about it, right? The unironic use of the Sup Forums buzzwords such as pleb and kino are retarded, especially if you use it in your assblasted rants.

If he had not been such a cunt, my rebuttal would have been more civil, and that goes for anybody.

But of course, here on Sup Forums, everyone is a top tier elite film critic and have to act like a pretentious nigger.

Then there's the faggots such as yourself who come along and defend that behavior.

kys

whoa whoa whoa calm down autismo5000

let me explain

you see i said this movie was pretentious

as in it was pretending to be something its not
this movie tries to act like its some deep complex story by leaving key pieces of information out and making you have to feel like you need to watch it again, which is smart from the film makers perspective but bullshit for the viewer once you find out how fucking stupid the "science" behind the plot of the movie really is

also i dont know where you get off calling other people queer when the fanbase and cult following of this movie are tumblrites and sjw who fell in love with this garbage back in high school

i dont really want to sit here and explain to some dumbass, who doesnt even know how to feel about a movie so he goes on Sup Forums and posts about it to get a concrete opinion as to why he likes what he likes, why the movie he likes is shi

im not the faggot who needs validation from an anime forum about shitty movies he likes

I know. I just finished my freshman year. I'm so above all these plebs. These hipster pleb teenage girls don't even know how much better I am for hating this movie. They're so pretentious. They think they're better than us. They should feel ashamed, fucking plebs. We're so patrician and not plebs like them. They think they're better than us but we're so better than them for not liking something. It's a good thing we let them know, people should know that they're pretentious plebs and that we're better than them, so not pretentious or plebs.

how fucking butthurt are these tumblr surfing summerfags get

HAHAHAHA

>im not the faggot who needs validation from an anime forum about shitty movies he likes
he says while being the epitome of someone who spends so much time on Sup Forums, his posting behavior is a series of memespeak laden stereotypical posturing like a kid in jr high mimicking the mannerisms around him in his desperate attempt to fit in

>Post your opinion, sage, remove from watchlist.
That's how you're supposed to browse most threads as discussions are pretty rare and pointless here.

you are fucking cancer

you are obviously a tourist from r.edit

you have thin skin and are trying too hard to seem smart and articulate

your butthurt is showing

you got mad and the first one to catch feelings always loses

you lose gayboy

First off
>damage control
let's not forget how much of an autistic faggot you were being in your original post. Don't start back peddling now.

>this movie tries to act like its some deep complex story by leaving key pieces of information out and making you have to feel like you need to watch it again, which is smart from the film makers perspective but bullshit for the viewer once you find out how fucking stupid the "science" behind the plot of the movie really is
Why can't a movie just be a fucking movie? Why does the "science" have to be factual or "make sense"? it's a movie. As long as the points are addressed and the plot has some substance that allows you to follow along, ENJOY THE MOVIE. It doesn't have to be a goddamn mirror of reality. That's the beauty of cinema.

>also i dont know where you get off calling other people queer when the fanbase and cult following of this movie are tumblrites and sjw who fell in love with this garbage back in high school
Just because a movie has some underground following doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. You're literally being a hipster by not following the hipsters cause bein a hipster ain't cool. Jesus....

>im not the faggot who needs validation from an anime forum about shitty movies he likes
Yet you throw out words like plebs to criticize those who aren't deemed worthy of your pallet on the exact website you're claiming not to need validation from. What a fucking joke, dude.

gtfo

The ever predictable non argument.

>e tourist from reddit meme.

Fucking die already.

>He fails to talk about the other very valid points user made

What's the matter? You have selective reading

He was right about what he said

You're dumb

No he wasn't, and you're a faggot for encouraging that cancerous cunt. see

>you have thin skin and are trying too hard to seem smart and articulate
why no speak simple like me

You're that retarded.

how fucking upset can these plebs get

you guys have bad taste

let me ask you fags something

what makes this movie so good?

nothing, and comfy isnt a real reason
comfy is a Sup Forums meme and you got upset everytime i used a meme

wtf?

You sure told me.

I'm a "cancer",
>jr high memespeak phrase 1

accuse me of being secretly from reddit because the jr high kid in you thinks in terms of social cliques wherein you "belong" to Sup Forums, everyone who "belongs" on Sup Forums is a copy of you, thinks like you, has same opinions as you, etc since you have no friends and life outside Sup Forums you've convinced yourself this website is your "group of friends" so when someone makes you the bitch you've been made in this thread, your jr high mind defense mechanism kicks in, establishing them as an outsider of your clique so your fragile little kid emotions don't break down
>jr high clique defense mechanism

butthurt, u mad, gayboy...
>frantic jr high chanspeak phrase ....

Finally
>nervous smile image reply hoping people thing he's sitting at home with the big grin instead of fuming from his series of embarrassing predictable posts

i feel the same way. like it was so close to being really compelling and deep but just doesn't make it. the good thing is it does have a solid ending and overall is a very comfy, fun movie.

>Why can't a movie just be a fucking movie? Why does the "science" have to be factual or "make sense"? it's a movie. As long as the points are addressed and the plot has some substance that allows you to follow along, ENJOY THE MOVIE. It doesn't have to be a goddamn mirror of reality. That's the beauty of cinema.
it wasnt trying to be just a movie

it was trying to be "LMAO SO DEEP MUCH LORE" but when you get down to it its just dumb


you are a whiny faggot btw

THE EDGIEST FILM EVER MADE ACCORDING TO Sup Forums

>it thinks im still reading its posts

dude you are dumb

>tells me to blow him
>calls me the faggot
As you would be the one sucking cock, you would be the faggot. I would close my eyes and imagine it was Elle.

>comfy is a meme

As retarded as that statement is in itself, I'll reword my point so that you can better wrap your retarded fucking head around it.

It's a comfortable movie to watch. It's a satisfying movie that entertains. It's not that complicated a concept to grasp

The momvie is good because it is well scripted and the story is great. The acting is wonderful and the paradigm it creates is interesting and captivating. I enjoy it. It does those things for me.

What is so sad about you is that any movie you don't like that someone brings up (and a shit ton of these faggots on this board do this all the time too becasue i guess it's just the shit culuter this place has devolved into) you niggers immediately cry PLEB and talk shit about movies with literally no basis or rationality behind your conviction.

You just say it to say it like fucking clockwork, as if you're some elite above the rest.

Fact of the matter is, you're most likely filling some void from real life and trying to find some power trip online. Or, the most likely reason, you're just a fucking faggot.

>it wasnt trying to be just a movie

what was it trying to be? a fucking tricycle?

>it was trying to be "LMAO SO DEEP MUCH LORE" but when you get down to it its just dumb

Oh, so a movie that told a story that was too hard for you to comprehend.

simple minded nigger

>he has elle as his waifu

its all coming together now

you are a pleb of the highest order

anyway since you requested it in the first place you are the faggot

how fucking stupid are you

thats called rhetoric, you dont need to answer
everyone ITT know how stupid you are.

jesus i dont even know how you can be typing out these paragraphs as if its going to help you out somehow

i said already that im not reading them

youre an idiot and everything you say is shit

you got really upset about a very bad movie, you should feel stupid as fuck since you are stupid as fuck

>he runs from arguments he can't back up
>calls people stupid and lol didn't read amirite?!?!

You know how i know you still live with mommy?

Maybe high school will give you some depth and perspective

My friend told me Seth rogen was in it so I had just written it off as one of those DUDE WEED movies

honestly i just dont want to argue with a moron

its obvious you are autistic, but not the smart kind LOL

i would feel sorry for you if only you werent a humongous faggot

seriously kill yourself

I figured this samefag out and why he's so upset and hypocritically intent on declaring fans of this movie as arrogant yet declaring himself superior to them. He WAS the teenage tumblr bandwagon fangirl of this movie. He thought it was super deep life changing shit instead of some whimsical 80s themed creativity exercise of a film it is. His child bandwagon mind also doesn't understand the possibility of a spectrum and people may like this movie in degrees and not have absolute love or hatred for it like his shifting teenage posturing bandwagon film opinions go. He's now a college freshman and fitting in for him as acting above it all and making sure everyone knows it. That's why he's so obsessed and still doesn't get what a hypocrite he's been throughout this thread. Tumblr is so last year for him, now he hates everything, acts above it all and this thread and his hypocritical outlashes are really him trying to come to terms with his own lack of identity.

im not trying to hide the fact that its me

but there are other people who have posted in this thread and said the same thing

ive just been the most vocal about it

you know you couldve had a serious discussion about this retarded movie if you had only ignored me

but since you are new here you had to feel as if you could right some wrong like you do on r.edit with your long winded and wordy posts

its obvious you are trying to compensate, but youre emotions are getting the better of you

youre arguements are weak and i told you why this movie sucks

basically all you said was shit that plebs always say

>just turn your mind off and enjoy the ride
>its a movie user
>cmon its fun

jesus christ hahahaha

>Takes the time to write out his disdain for something
>everyone talks shit to him and calls out his faggoty bullshit
>"i don't want to talk about it anymore"

No shit you don't want to argue. You're too limp-wristed and retarded to. Plus, you're fucking wrong.

Leave this board as quickly as you back-peddled from this thread, then don't come back.

i liked it. who cares if its "pretencious" if you cant follow it thats fine, just chill out and dont watch it.

alright lets argue you retarded faggot

i said this movie was pretentious
i said that it tried to be too
>LMAO SO THOUGHT PROVOKING AND DEEP
when it really isnt, anyone who says otherwise is lying
if you say it wasnt trying to be that way then you are a liar

i gave more reasons like the way the director tries to get you to rewatch and makes you have to buy a special directors cut that has a link to a website that explains the stupid pseudo science behind the movie was gimmicky and fucking lame

but seeing how the fanbase are a bunch of kids they dont go that far, instead they pretend like they understood it and pretend that they like it

lol you're hopeless bro. You're stuck in a loop of stereotypical college freshman film poser defense mechanisms. More Jr High reddit clique mentality accusations, more going on about "plebs", more acting above it all while claiming others are arrogant.

You're a fucking stereotype and apparently way to dimwitted to see for a single moment. We get it, you're personifying us as your teenage self. You're intent on declaring yourself superior to anything who even mildly enjoys this movie because a few months ago when you were in high school and your tumblr friends told you this movie was epic lel cools, you followed like the mindless jr high lemming you are. Now as a college freshman, you follow like the lemming you are by hating it and everything. You want to validate your current adopted lemming personality by being angry at your teenage lemming personality by projecting onto others in this thread as you your teenage self. Since we both know you'll just keep posting the same things over and over about reddit, more constant use of "pleb", etc etc, I won't keep you. I'm sure you have a Kurosawa movie to pretend to like or a baneposting circle jerk.

Most otaku movie ever

>tl;dr im fucking butthurt and not even talking about the movie anymore even though you tried to steer the conversation back in that direction

wowzerz someone is maaaaaaad

anyway why is this movie good again?

i mean i know why its terrible, but please try to change my opinion as if you could, mr. smart "guy"
please

how is it not thought provoking and deep though?
>anyone who says otherwise is lying
oh, you proved me wrong. i did interpret this film all wrong. use some fucking sources and facts to back up your fucking claims, you retarded motherfucker. any good work of literature should want you to come back to it and reengage yourself to learn more. who wants to make a movie that people watch once and never see again? are you honestly saying theres never been a movie, a tv show, a book, or whatever thats ever made you want to watch/read/whatever again? you're missing the whole point of storytelling. you're a moron. i'm begging you, leave this thread

not him but samefag doesn't mean what you think it means.

how old are you btw?

seriously

theres no way to change your opinion (especially considering how closed minded you are) all i can say is why i enjoyed it. it had good actors, it had relatable and interesting characters, it had brilliant cinematography, some of the best editing i've seen in years. the final therapy scene alone could fill an entire year's worth of a college film course. more than anything else it had a smart and unique take on a wide variety of things: mental illness, time travel, young people and their relations to each other and the things around them. you don't have to like it, thats ok, but you do have to calm down and learn how to discuss something like an adult

>the final therapy scene alone could fill an entire year's worth of a college film course
you were doing so good up until there
>"you do have to calm down and learn how to discuss something like an adult"
>when talking about a movie for kids in high school

>time to dish out personal insults based on the person's age and not at all give a smart retort to what they said

fyi im not even the guy you've been arguing with, my last post was over an hour ago

im just curious

i was just trying to get a better sense of who this person is

its obviously OP
but i want to know his age

to know whether or not to continue this conversation

Just discuss the film you fucking cunts.

no this movie fucking sucks

Please validate this statement with your own critical analysis.

i already did you autismo

It explains things better, I recommend watching it instead of the regular version if you actually want to understand what the fuck is going on.

SOMETHING HAPPENS AND I'M HEAD OVER HEELS

cmon man how old are you?

its either you are young as shit which explains why you like this shit

or you are an old fart that feels embarrassed
