thats the interesting part of it, its enigmatic, plus the director's cut explains to give it some logic (but honestly if you gonna watch it for the first time watch the theatrical cut first)
dc sucks, take a lot of mistique out of the film. adds a load of nonsense which doesnt need to be there.
the original is simple enough to follow along to.
The music changes alone make the directors cut inferior. Not to mention the weird editing choices that completely fucks the pacing. Anyone that says the directors cut is better is retarded.
>relegating Under the Milkyway to the radio during the scene before grandma Death appears was ridiculous.
I don't even remember this cause I've only seen that cut once a long time ago but ya that's insane. Removing The Killing Moon from the intro is always what stood out to me as the most egregious because not only does it perfectly set the vibe for the entire movie, but the lyrics also perfectly match with the theme of the film. Also Echo and the 'Bunnymen'? Like come on why would you fuck with that it was almost too perfect.
This is the most wrong opinion ever. The DC is absolutely trash, it actually ruins the film. This is because it was basically the opposite of what typically happens: the theatrical was the director's original vision, but because it was allegedly too confusing for midwit audiences they had him release a "directors cut" that dumbed it all down and made it stupid.
It comes across as really cringey an angsty now. I watched some of it last night, Yet it's still good despite all the teen cringey stuff. I wonder what kind of damage it did to me watching it as a teenager.
Director's cut is trash. Theatrical is a decent late stage highschool drama genre film. Showed Jena Malone's got the chops, should've gotten more and bigger parts in hindsight.
>It comes across as really cringey an angsty now
Accurate, but that's the target.
I think its a fun movie. People take it too seriously and attempt to have "deep" philosophical discussions about it, but in the end they all jyst realize thry should chut up and suck a fuck.
kind of a pointless lolsorandumb movie aimed at nihilistic teenagers and early 20-somethings.i didn't enjoy it, personally, but my friend group at the time loved it.
No, it isn't good and it isn't a movie. It is an advertisement for smoking and they abused children making it. Stop spamming this evil shit. A dozen threads a day about this trash, fuck off
It's entertaining even after a couple of watches. Also it's not really time travel technically, isn't it? It's just events following a prophecy's chronology so criticism like it doesn't make sense goes out the window.
I rewatched it for the first time in ten years last night. It blows ass. The acting from the young adult cast is shit. The only part I still found funny and relatable was the smurf gangbang conversation. It's a ball hair away from being an ABC midweek TV event.
Turbo cringe
Donnie Darko makes no sense

It's ultrakino but Southland Tales is better
its a good movie but its nonsense. just enjoy the ride
I love it. That makes it good.
it's good but only the Directors Cut
the bunny's voice in the og version was retarded
It's the other way around. This is one of the few examples where the directors cut is worse.
no the majority is wrong in this regard tbf
the DC clears the Theatrical cut in this movie
The DC tells the story like a kid would.
Director's cut of Almost Famous is just an extra boring 30 minutes.
Wh-Who do I believe..?

That crappy Inxs song in the beginning and relegating Under the Milkyway to the radio during the scene before grandma Death appears was ridiculous.
the INXS version is the best version, suck a dick homosexual no cares about echo and the trannymen
Lead singer of Inxs was a homosexual who choked himself out of existence, lol.

The anon saying the Director's Cut was probably trolling, it's universally considered worse.
Director's cut is garbage, especially with the changes in music.

It's great when you see it as a teen, but you should only watch it at that age.
you can say this about almost every movie where the character is under 18
shit mentality just enjoy the movies you like at whatever age fag
>you can say this about almost every movie where the character is under 18
No, this one is particularly cringey and full of teen angst.
SUCK A FUCK
It insists upon itself unironically
Donnie Darko, but good
>tranime
Gay homosexual
>Donnie Darko, but bad
that anime is pure self-indulgetn trash
As a edgy teen I just liked the vibe and music in the movie.
it's good and you're a homosexual
Great soundtrack, fun performances, bunny costume is cool. Baby's first kino for me

It's just a comfy movie.

this movie gives me panic attacks. but I am a schizo and so does cooking shows sometimes
the therapist scenes do get into that territory of inducing an episode. like some lynch movies do
I'm a boomer and I think it's giga kino, if you disagree you have no sovl or artistic spirit

I really didn't find it all that angsty and normally that shit annoys me.
thoughts on S.Darko?
It's entertaining even after a couple of watches. Also it's not really time travel technically, isn't it? It's just events following a prophecy's chronology so criticism like it doesn't make sense goes out the window.
Frank could time travel because he was a manipulated dead
I loved this movie. The twist with the rabbit was crazy
it's above avererage. This debut's the peak of the director's portfolio.
>Southland Tales
trash
>The Box
ok
Donnie Dorko appeals to emo kids that also are on meds and undergoing therapy.
It's about a emo that spends a whole film explaining why the world would be better off if he was dead. Boo-fucking-hoo.

how does one suck a fuck Cinemaphile?
