Amazing scene and use of music but the story was very disappointing - you shouldn’t have to watch the director’s commentary to fill in the gaps. David Lynch has gotten away with this kind of filmmaking somehow but no joy for Richard Kelly
Absolutely i am 38 as of August 25, 2021.i grew up tripping on CCC, LSD, SHROOMS & many other designer drugs. But this movie has a HUGE colt following. I always bring back good memories!
One of the few times a classic song has been used in a movie and really manages to create a powerful scene rather than be mere wallpaper for the film in the background.
Donnie Darko and Tears for Fears... a match made in HEAVEN! What happened to good movies and good songs? They seem to have fluttered away on the wind like beautiful little butterflies...
M Urschel Both music and movies are subjective, but you'll find what you like if you're willing to search for it. It's one of the few good thing about the internet.
As a film student, one (of the MANY) thing I find remarkable about the way Richard Kelly tells his story is that every major character besides Donnie is introduced in a song sequence.
The only reason I watched this film was because a guy told me i was very like donnie or I reminded him of Donnie. It ended up being the first film I ever cried watching.
I am so glad they picked head over heals from tears for fears. This song is such a great representation of the carefree 80's. It brings chills down my back because as a kid those memories stick
Donnie Darko is a very underrated movie. This is a classic film w/ the coolest soundtrack. My first time seeing it just blew me away. I liked it so much I bought the DVD. I make it a tradition to watch it the month of October. The story takes place October 1988. ❤️👍🎶
Best use of a song in a film ever! This scene is really awesome. Now that I'm older and have a much better understanding of the film, everything that happens makes sense. Everything happens for a reason. Drew Barrymore's character is one of the manipulated living. She was subconsciously drawn to make sure that Gretchen and Donnie sit together thus sparking a relationship between them. Great film!
Quite stunning how one scene can contain so much irony and sarcasm but above all truth. I have never seen another scene that touched on so many themes and had such depth.
donnie darko is my favorite movie of all time. it sparks even the young brains of teenagers (such as myself) to consider the possibilities of energy beyond what we're taught at school or "supposed" to know. this movie makes me ponder planned fate or just "going as you go". also has a dark edge to it which is the kind of thing i love in movies
DD is endlessly fascinating for many reasons. Has characteristics of a cult classic. Sm reason people love Bladerunner from back in 1982. Aesthetically its a work of art I have to say. I was n high school in 1988 and JST saw this film a week ago. I was completly blown away. None of my friends my own age had seen it. For many its also amazing to see the little girl who was in ponytails in ET sitting here teaching. ER star here and PatSwayze RIP. Gyllenhalls first major film. Loads of reason.
This is one of my favourite scenes in the whole movie - the dual long shots, the acting timing, and the fact that to every character in this scene, I can match a kid or a teacher to them from my school exactly. Great example of a realistic view of the politics of the playground.
WTF, how can 60 people (thus far) not enjoy this? TFF --- Roland and Curt --- just magical voices. I'm lulled by the beauty of their music some 25 years later. I wish they would record every year. I love them so much.
I have no words to describe how it makes me feel...This film is different from the rest, the music, the mistery, everything it envolves. I've seen it a houndred times and I can't get tired of it, it's such an incredible story...I felt in love with Donnie, with Frank and even with the airplane xD When I watch it I feel different from the rest, I think it's magic. It's so sad but satisfactory at the same time.
I saw this again recently for the first time in ages and really thought this whole scene is extraordinary. The combination of the weird camera angle at the start, timed just right with a bit of classic 80's pop, right through to the whole long pan up the corridor with the scary beardy guy, the teacher and the love interest is just genius.
Rejoice in thy youth O' young man Ecclesiastes This scene brings back memories of when I was in high school in the late '80s, it was beautiful, it's sad to reminisce about my youth. Being 50 now, it makes me realize that I took those days for granted, when you're in the '80s as a 17-year-old and you are surrounded by the most beautiful things, you don't realize it at the time, later in life you do. This movie is a microcosm of the way things were for me, it was beauty
Gah I love this movie--one of my favorites. This is my sister's fav. scene where they all jump out of the back of the bus with Tears For Fears playing. And I love Drew Barrymore's character in this. If I'm ever a teacher i'm totally doing that: "sit next to the boy you think is the cutest"
This scene reminds me of my own school life, I had two teachers that were almost exactly like Drew Barrymore and Noah Wyle are in this movie (they both were a couple, too).
I saw this movie and had such a good laugh. It brought back crazy memories of when I was at school and all the characters that were there lol and this great song made it even better.
I grew up in the 80's it was great They say humans are happier when they have more physical interaction. 80's was all about getting dressed up and going out.
Your exactly right,,this movie has left a mark on me,Ie always felt a connection with the message this ts not lost in this incredible movie,I really think the writer is a genius 😢💙🎸✌️🎹
This is SO cool... Sometimes you forget/don't realize how great a song is until it is displayed/portrayed within the context/theme of a film/scene. Perfection here!
lets see, it's about time travel, hypocrisy in American culture, martyrdom for the greater good, it's like a modernized, revamped version of the jesus story, hence why his mom is always bathed in light. it's also about the political climate in the 1980s, it's also a love story, a psychological thriller, among many other things. Basically, it's one of those movies you have to see at least three times to fully understand.
I love the montage such an incredible scene in this film. It shows us who the characters are and I like the way it shows us how the characters interact and think of each other, also how very different people are experiencing high school. brilliant too adding that song, makes it nostalgic
Some movies need to be left to stand on their own, and I think this is one of them. I haven't even watched the Director's Cut, because for me this is perfect the way it was. S. Darko was by all accounts a disaster, an attempted cash-in that didn't work. But I hear that Richard Kelly is in fact now planning a sequel.
This is art , i think this movie was edited by genius,
agreed
An “art” genius, for sure
agreed, and not just for being focused on theoretical physics
This entire fucking movie was brilliance at its best
Amazing scene and use of music but the story was very disappointing - you shouldn’t have to watch the director’s commentary to fill in the gaps.

Every scene from this movie is so memorable, truly a classic.
Danjoker I learned it's easier to decipher this movie when you're not trying to decipher it.
Its now considered a cult classic !!
Especially the last...
For real though. What an incredible fucking film
Absolutely i am 38 as of August 25, 2021.i grew up tripping on CCC, LSD, SHROOMS & many other designer drugs. But this movie has a HUGE colt following. I always bring back good memories!
That whole scene with tears for fears playing , is my all time favourite scene from any movie. I love everything about that scene.
exactly I as was thinking the same thing when I watched the movie the first time
You know what's even better than that and my personal favorite of Donnie Darko? The opening scene whith INXS Never Tear Us Apart.
You and me both!
@@JayInDecent not as good as the Bunnymen opening
❤❤👍👍
donnie darko is probably one of my favorite movies of ALL time
Same here. What an incredible film, honestly
it's so emblematic, i'm born in 1993 yet this resembles with our generation so much
One of the few times a classic song has been used in a movie and really manages to create a powerful scene rather than be mere wallpaper for the film in the background.
VERY well said
Holy resurrection post. Totally agree. Epic song and brings back so many memories as a teenager in the mid 80s
Man... The opening to this song gives me such a overwhelming nostalgia for my days as a kid growing up in the 80s. Beautiful.
Noah Robert Graves I love your profile pic. I've used that same image on my Facebook. 🙏🏻
The good old 80's. Hard to beat.
Missing this so hard right now, cellar door indeed
Same here. Lots of good memories.
Sometimes, i doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

but but I've got double dream hands!
I love the "wtf" look drew barrymore gives to sparkle motion aha
This scene is like a High School dream. I loved it.
why?
I love how they introduce almost all of the characters in this part,
so clever c;

What happened? They're still happening.
Urch: Chris Cornell Casino Royale comes to mind.
It technically has two tears for fears songs in if you count Gary Jules cover of Mad World
As a film student, one (of the MANY) thing I find remarkable about the way Richard Kelly tells his story is that every major character besides Donnie is introduced in a song sequence.
thanks for that I never noticed.
Such a good spot that is!
top 5 scenes of all time
Man this opening is nostalgic as hell❤😢
😎🖤🥷
@@amberjeneric5839 😂😅
the amount of times i rewound this on dvd....
r.i.p. patrick swayze.
❤
I never knew Patrick Swayze was on this film
What's the name of soundtrack at 4:36?
Donnie Darko is the perfect fit for the Tears For Fears Classic...such a great movie
This movie has all the best elements; great soundtrack (first and foremost), a baffling mystery, a hint of sci-fi, and a little romance.
This is one of my favorite scenes from any movie ever, and to think that it's this director's first film. What a way to start off!
lol that "sit next to the boy you think is the cutest" is just so evil
This has got to be one of the best sequences I've ever seen in a movie.
The only reason I watched this film was because a guy told me i was very like donnie or I reminded him of Donnie. It ended up being the first film I ever cried watching.
"the first film I ever cried watching." I think I went to a screening where we discussed it afterward. Sometimes movies are put together very well.
What a movie and perfect soundtrack. A rare feat.
+Drive.
+Dune.
All the D's ...weird.
Which 'Drive'?
The Mark Dacascos one?
Muad' Dib drive is amazing
Leigh Dappa the one with Ryan gosling
I like this song more than everybody wants to rule to word, or shout. It has this hypnotic ending that's hard to explain, just awesome
A movie about, a bunch of American kids who love British music!
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
I am so glad they picked head over heals from tears for fears. This song is such a great representation of the carefree 80's. It brings chills down my back because as a kid those memories stick
I've never seen a full song being used this good in a movie ... fantastic!
Tears For Fears. Great band and classic tune from 1985.
Donnie Darko is a very underrated movie. This is a classic film w/ the coolest soundtrack.

Donnie Darko remains on my top 10 list of favorite movies. Great soundtrack too. I have both. 😚
The dude snorting a pill or coke at his locker lmfao.
it'd be a pill these days
ElGatosLastLife Seth rogan is a goat
Whoever decided this song for this scene I hope they find peace in life
This movie is a real masterpiece, so underrated IMO
This is the best scene in the movie; the selection of this song was perfect.
I wanna delete my memory about donnie darko and watch it again.
This movie made me get into 80s music.
Is that fucking Seth Rogen in the coke-sniffing scene lol
yep, that's him
Yes long before Superbad
Yeah that was his film debut
Wonderful scene from one of my favourite movie ever.
Drew Barrymore is the ultimate bae in this film... imo anyway.
Gamesarki I love her !
Costa del Artlepool stands for before anything else, basically just a significant other
Quite stunning how one scene can contain so much irony and sarcasm but above all truth. I have never seen another scene that touched on so many themes and had such depth.
are you still around?
@@curtismellor somehow yes
Phenomenal movie. Richard Kelly's first movie, too. He was young AF. This is in my top 5 movies of of all time. Possibly top 3.
Did he make any other good movies
donnie darko is my favorite movie of all time. it sparks even the young brains of teenagers (such as myself) to consider the possibilities of energy beyond what we're taught at school or "supposed" to know. this movie makes me ponder planned fate or just "going as you go". also has a dark edge to it which is the kind of thing i love in movies

Don't you miss the days when Tears for Fears ruled FM radio?
Joe Bonnie God yes
@@grazideda long live the 80's!! Ham Tyler the classic "bad" good guy. My roll model since i was
❤❤❤👍
I remember
Songs From the Big Chair was such an excellent soundtrack for adolescence.
They had three hit songs, now two have been used in films.
This is one of my favourite scenes in the whole movie - the dual long shots, the acting timing, and the fact that to every character in this scene, I can match a kid or a teacher to them from my school exactly. Great example of a realistic view of the politics of the playground.
Me to then and 9 years after that.
My favourite use of an in movie song and maybe my favourite movie - truly my four leaved clover ❤️
i LOVED this part of the movie, for some strange reason lol... this song is amazing:)
I miss school, just the simple things like walking through it and seeing everyone
flawless scene
Truly beautiful and brilliant filmmaking.
WTF, how can 60 people (thus far) not enjoy this? TFF --- Roland and Curt --- just magical voices. I'm lulled by the beauty of their music some 25 years later. I wish they would record every year. I love them so much.
Phenomenal; In My Opinion!!!!
This scene is beautiful. I love watching it:)
I love this movie so much, what a gem. They don't make amazing movies like this anymore.
This movie deserves WAY more attention
I have no words to describe how it makes me feel...This film is different from the rest, the music, the mistery, everything it envolves. I've seen it a houndred times and I can't get tired of it, it's such an incredible story...I felt in love with Donnie, with Frank and even with the airplane xD When I watch it I feel different from the rest, I think it's magic.

Donni Darkos amazing movie.great opening scene, 80's at its best. fear and love lol
This sequence right here, is the reason why I 'm in film school!!!
How’s post-film school life?
I haven't seen that movie, but TFF is what I listen to daily. And Roland has the most beautiful voice that I've ever heard, his voice melts me 😍❤️
the greatest film ever
❗I think you mean 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'.
LOVE IT !!! GREAT scene, GREAT song, GREAT movie

this is my fav track from the movie, genius! this sountrack is one of the best i have ever seen in any movie!
Too bad I didn't grow up in the 80s, it looked like a fun time. Oh well at least I was born in 80s.
I grew up in the 80's it was great
They say humans are happier when they have more physical interaction. 80's was all about getting dressed up and going out.
love this film, but every time i watch it im always waiting for the high 5 fail at

When can I squeeze one out?
It's crazy how this looks like it should be the music video for this song
simply beautiful

Much love for this scene. They don't make em like this anymore.
This is a nice music scene from Donnie Darko. ❤️💖✨🌙💙🤍
Sped up 1/6th
It's the wrong speed, but even so a really good choice for 1986 pop.
Tears for Fears help to define the mid to late 80s.
I just listened to the original before listening to this and noticed the same.
Algun latino , la mejor película la amo
one of the greatest montages ever
Reminds me of the sweetest days at Palm Springs High School
"you look like you belong here"
One of the very best lines in the film.
It sounds like the song has been speeded up.
Yeah ...
It definitely has been
The visuals were obviously fast forwarded through the hallway, so maybe it’s a play to that. Great scene.
@@p0479 more likely it's from PAL to NTSC conversion something *like* that or sped up to avoid copyright
I love the montage such an incredible scene in this film. It shows us who the characters are and I like the way it shows us how the characters interact and think of each other, also how very different people are experiencing high school. brilliant too adding that song, makes it nostalgic
i love the way this scene is shot its just great
Why is this in a different key than the original?
I guess you (me 2) looked the director's cut, not the "original"
Its definitely sped up. Drew Barrymore practically sounds like Mickey mouse
Wait a second it’s sped up
Wait a second copy right can’t remove it.
Sped up for copyright I think

S. Darko was by all accounts a disaster, an attempted cash-in that didn't work.
But I hear that Richard Kelly is in fact now planning a sequel.
