I think this might be one of the reasons DD is a huge succes in cult movie genre.... People are brave enought to say "I like this movie, it's really awesome, watch it!" and they don't keep their opinion that private... Then that comment influences another person to watch, who if likes it will influence others to watch it... so on and so forth....

lemme tell u how its affected me: i am currently writing a script and looking into directing. the script is disturbing like Donnie Darko, but is different in many, many ways. mostly it expresses my distaste for religion and shows, in a way, the effects that epilepsy has had on me (yes i have epilepsy). but i do use time travel (sorry Richard). o btw im not gonna post the actual script (copyright issues) nor tell u the ending (if i get lucky and make the movie, and no i dont mean in my backyard), but i will tell u the general ideas, banter, and moral of it upon request (dont request by replying to my post, but by pming me).

I can't stop watching DD. I have immersed myself into film even more than before, and I long to live in Middlesex, with Gretchen Ross. After stripping down Donnie's emotional roller coaster (which I'm sure we can all relate to) it is just a world which I want to be in, apart of. It's almost a challenging community. But, most of all I can relate to the way Donnie feels and thinks... being an adolescent myself. To top it all off, I've been coming t this forum since I watched the film, conversing with character's as colourful as they are in DD. It's great.

Yeah, I think slowly, slowly, Moonage is reminding me more of Ms. Pomeroy... that's not meant to sound as it probably does (which makes no sense). Gretchen, on the other hand, is exactly like Gretchen, same way of expressing herself, extremely friendly and intellectually desirable, sweet but impeccably feisty. Bigboy fits in as Kenneth Monnitoff, always reasoning with everyone and being both assertive and democratic. And lastly, I can only think of greedy, who reminds me of Donnie's friend (whose name escapes me for the moment), the one who says, "Somebody's gotta write that bitch!" Don't ask me why.

Absolutely, in all seriousness, I feel that 'Gretchen' is surfing the forum. Loving it. Hot. I'm not sure if you feel the same way about the rest.

Donnie Darko has really changed my life. It's made me look at the world really differently. I feel like I'm just like Donnie...I really am, and I don't think that's just wishful thinking. I can just really relate to him and I can understand how he's feeling and the things he goes through. But yeah, this movie has just made me realize that everything happens for a reason, and even if it doesn't seem right at the time, everything will be okay. I still worry about things, I can't help it, who doesn't. It's also made me think of what difference do I make to the people I know, to the world. How would things be different if I were to die now or if I never existed at all? How would my family's life be different? My friends' lives? All the people I will ever meet? What impact do I have? And it makes me think about whether I have caused more good or bad and just how different things would be if I were gone. same here

I know it's already been mentioned once, but minus the schitzophrenia (sp?) it feels like Donnie's character is my long lost twin. While watching this movie for the first time, it was like every revelation that Donnie had was one of my own. I watched it with my friends and I had to explain every "out there" sort of thing to them. As the time travel plot moved on, every new chapter seemed so logical, I felt stupid that I hadn't already formed these ideas into actual, intelligable thoughts. I realize the book isn't real, but it seems so tangible that when I saw it, I felt like I should get to work on this stuff, you know? The first time through this film, I was ending lines so much that it got ridiculous. It's important, though, that I express that I'm not trying to seem cool, here, it's just that the ideas and the personalities in this film are just so familiar, I can't get over it.
