Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

I loved this DVD and I finally understood some things I didn't get in the theatrical release. Donnie Darko is a fanstically dark movie that is impossible to explain and Jake Gallenthal couldn't be better.

With all that has been written on these boards and elsewhere,and now
excellently packed into the second disc of this DVD for instance the sheer scope of insights offered by lovers of this movie,it is becoming more and more difficult to add anything of substance that has not already been put forward as a means of explanation or reason for nearly every scene within the story.
However as an individual one great thing is the fact that however many times you see this brilliant DVD you will ask yourself new questions,and ask yourself what so many things contained within Donnie Darko actually mean or represent to you as an individual.
To myself this is one of the biggest joy's of the DVD,
I and i am sure many others come away with differing patterns and tracks of thought each time that it is viewed,even if it is viewed only once,
making it impossible not to become involved intimately with the script,words,and sights that you are exposed to each time you see this brilliant movie.

I am usually not too impressed with Director Cut DVD's. I was very impressed with this. THe extra scenes really added flavor and depth to this already great story. I could see why a couple of cuts were made towards the end of the film... it could have spoiled it for first time viewers. Add this one to your collection ASAP!

The first time I saw this movie I was more than a little confused. I have watched this movie over and over again and it just keeps getting deeper and more interesting. A great film with a lot of actors you would expect for this under the radar hit.

This movie wasn't like anything I had ever seen. I liked that it was different and challenging. A movie like this just shows you that there are new and fresh ideas out there if Hollywood would just stop making sequel after sequel and rehashing of old TV shows.
