Donnie Darko is a 2001 American science fiction drama film written and directed by Richard Kelly. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, and Mary McDonnell. The film follows teenager Donnie Darko as he seeks the meaning behind his troubling Doomsday visions.
Budgeted with $4.5 million and filmed over the course of 28 days, Donnie Darko grossed just under $7.7 million worldwide. It received positive reviews and developed a cult following, resulting in the release of a director's cut on a two-disc special edition DVD in 2004.
On October 2, 1988, Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), a troubled teenager living in Middlesex, Virginia, is awakened and led outside by a figure in a monstrous rabbit costume, who introduces himself as "Frank" and tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. At dawn, Donnie returns home to find a jet engine has crashed into his bedroom. His older sister, Elizabeth (Maggie Gyllenhaal), informs him the FAA investigators do not know where it came from.
If you wanna see me go, motherfucker
I got the dream and what else?
You haven't seen this bad bitch
Stage trap, we're ready for haters
We'll make some sounds around
Go make potatoes, nigga
Dead or alive, I'm the best in the town
You got a problem? Then pop off this block, whore
These bricks made me drop off
Nigga, my whole life I was raised in it
I'm in the pool of death, nigga
I play in it
Seeing flat lines quick like flat 9s
My whole life I was raised in it
I'm in the pool of death, nigga
I play in it
Seeing flat lines quick like flat 9s
I don't wanna dream, I'll never wanna wake- up
I'm lost in my thoughts, covered in my own blood
I have to get my mind right
Before I'm in the dirt
I'll go and do what I love
I'll let go of the drugs
My head is in the clouds and my heart in the sky
I'll never pull a roof on this motherfucker
Not even if I try
I do respect shit
I made it day by day
What I worry about
What the future might replace
Hey, I can't control, so I'm about to let it go
I'm just tryin' to hold on and leave it all behind
And watch the sky fall
My whole life I was raised in it
I'm in the pool of death, nigga
I play in it
Seeing flat lines quick like flat 9s
My whole life I was raised in it
I'm in the pool of death, nigga
I play in it
Seeing flat lines quick like flat 9s
It's a game of death
Life, love, eat flesh
It's all violence and it might not make sense
We all try but we ride with the same '
We all die but only a few arrives
I am okay, but somehow I lost all the hope
It's not giving me enough rope
I know what I wrote when I'm waking up all soaked
Fuck the cameras, I ain't really into those
I work like a prospect, you can't come close
I see the same road
Coming out of concrete, see the hell frozen
My whole life I was raised in it
I'm in the pool of death, nigga
I play in it
Seeing flat lines quick like flat 9s
My whole life I was raised in it
I'm in the pool of death, nigga
I play in it
Seeing flat lines quick like flat 9s
