Donnie Darko (2001) 703x2c
When released in 2001, Donnie Darko drew little attention. However, currently this thought-provoking cult classic by the director richard kelly is perhaps one of the most profound films ever made involving time travel. And while the theme is deeply intertwined with the film's plot, it's not something you can immediately sense at the beginning of the story.
The actor Jake Gyllenhaal plays the title character Donnie Darko, who encounters a man dressed as a giant rabbit named Frank. Frank informs Donnie that the world will end in 28 days, a period of time during which an increasingly bizarre course of events begins to unfold in the young man's life. The film's central themes are directly related to the use of time travel and our perception of time. The plot is not tied to fancy explanations about how time travel would work, but leaves it up to the viewer to interpret how time moves in Donnie's life.
Donnie Darko is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
