Donnie soon begins to have visions of a giant bunny rabbit who tells him the world will end in about 26 days. So, in that time, he tries to piece together his mental state, the state of his community, his family and more.
Watching Donnie Darko again, the first things that jumped out were all the small roles played by now more famous people. Seth Rogen is in there, as one of the bullies. Ashley Tisdale makes a small appearance in a scene.
Even Maggie Gyllenhaal has a role. Then there were the lines of dialogue that brought back pings of nostalgia. Plus the wonderful design of Frank the Bunny. The Coen Brothers have long been able to make films in their own unique style.
But with their first film Blood Simple , the brother decided it was worth recutting to suit their original vision of the Texas-set noir thriller. Unlike most director's cuts, the new version actually comes in a few minutes shorter than the theatrical version. The Coen's expertly edited the film to feel faster and more engrossing. They also added in their original song choice of the Four Tops' "Same Old Song" which proves to be the perfect choice.
A lot of directors choose to revisit their older movies when technology allows them to make changes that weren't possible at the time. Sometimes this can be an improvement and sometimes it's totally unnecessary. Steven Spielberg saw the advances in CGI as the perfect opportunity to tweak his classic science-fiction adventure , E.
The Extraterrestrial. Unfortunately, this included created a CGI E. Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous is a beloved film and a deeply personal one for the filmmaker.
So it's not too surprising that Crowe would want to revisit the movie even though many consider the original version to be a masterpiece. Thankfully, Crowe's instincts were right and his additions in the director's cut are more than welcome.
The film is a love letter to rock and roll and this version allows Crowe to showcase his love even more. It also gives us more time to hang out with the colorful characters of the story.
Francis Ford Coppola made some of the greatest films of all time in the s, however, his later directing efforts were less than stellar to put it lightly.
So when he decided to recut his war epic Apocalypse Now , it sadly proved he was not the same great filmmaker he once was. Apocalypse Now Redux is now the authoritative version which is a shame because it falls short of the original masterpiece. Much of the restored footage is plodding, aimless and uncomfortable.
