There are plenty of criticisms of old films getting the makeover treatment and most fans would rather you leave alone the thing they love.
#Donnie darko full free director cut movie#
The parts that do stand out are what I’d like to talk about, as they certainly change the movie and what you come away with at the end.
For comparison’s sake, there are plenty of fan blogs and comments on message boards that can break down exactly what is easily missed, such as certain scenes starting or stopping a few seconds earlier or focusing on a different character’s expression. If you’ve seen the original and aren’t a hardcore fan, you might not be able to put your finger on what is new and what was there before. With the “Director’s Cut,” a lot of missing pieces are put back in the puzzle box, but is it good?ĭirector Richard Kelly has put about 20 minutes of extra footage into this cut, many of it available before as deleted scenes on previous releases of the film. Enter a talking, demonic-looking, bunny man named Frank, premonitions of the end of the world, what looks like the water snake-thing from The Abyss and Patrick Swayze and you have a small idea of what Donnie Darko is about. The film tells the story of a high school student who escapes his own demise as the jet-engine of a passenger plane falls from the sky and lands on the bed he would normally be sleeping in thanks to his new habit of sleep walking further and further from his house. Released in 2001, Darko was Jake Gyllenhaal’s first major starring role a film that blended elements of dark fantasy, science fiction, horror and metaphor, its meaning and story have been debated since the movie came out.
So you’ve probably heard of the cult classic Donnie Darko.
