Donnie Darko film review

The film Donnie Darko is a psychological thriller who’s played by the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Donnie is a high school student. Donnie is a student who doesn't get along with people at school or his parents, he's seen as a troubled child. Donnie has a psychiatrist which helps him to express himself. He survived an accident which was a jet engine that crashes into his bedroom. Donnie then sees a giant bunny called Frank which leads him outside and then explains to him that the world will be ending in 28 days. Only Donnie is able to see Frank. Donnie later on tries to stop this and does this by time travel which is seen to be the only way to stop the world from ending in 28 days. The opening scene of the film is Donnie riding his bike which is a memorable scene as there is an establishing shot of the area where Donnie is at and then it starts to focus on him throughout the whole clip. The music is also parallel which is effective as it sets of the impression that he is enjoying himself and for the scene to be outside in a area where there is lots of greenery indicates that he likes to be by himself and outside. This could explain why he doesn't get along with people as well as he could.
