  “Nifty little book. I had never read a screenplay before, so that was interesting. You also get to see all the little scenes that Kelly intended to be in the movie. Gained new perspectives by reading it. I loved the foreward by Jake Gyllenhaal, even though it was short.
  
  This book/movie does mean different things to different people. It can be a biblical story, a love story, a story about predetermined fate...etc.etc.etc.etc. Endless possibilities.
  
  The Q&A with Richard Kelly in the beginning also brought a lot of insight as to the making of Donnie Darko. I hadn't known beforehand that Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore) had any part in this movie. Small world!
  
  The art and pictures at the end were amazing.
  
  I loved it.”
