I watched Donnie Darko again the other night. I forgot how great that movie is, and how sad. I don't know if I realized how great it was the first time. I knew it was a really good movie, but sometimes things just hit you differently the second time around. Jake Gyllenhaal is such a great actor. I love his work. Plus he's cute. :) But he's...there's just this vulnerability and playfulness. This innocence that he brings. His mannorisms and the interactions between people. I like all the little things. You're just drawn into his characters. They're inherently likeable. I really like him a lot as an actor.
And this movie, and Donnie, I love. He's a character that I would like so much as a person in real life.
Sometimes I feel like people are thinking about me, "oh just get over yourself," or that maybe I'm a little self-righteous, just because I'm not like a typical college kid. Which makes me really sad and angry. Because that's not me at all.
