The background that made it a cult movie

``Donnie Darko'' is often featured in movie media's cult movie specials and rankings, and is still extremely popular, with the British film magazine ``Total Film'' calling it ``the best cult movie of the 2000s.'' However, the film did not perform well at the box office in the United States when it was released in theaters on October 26, 2001. Unfortunately, the film was released only a month and a half after the terrorist attacks on September 11th. It's not hard to imagine that the plot, in which a jet engine from a passenger plane crashes into the main character Donnie's house, the gloomy mood, and the tragic elements, were avoided by audiences at the time.

However, there are elaborate science fiction elements that cannot be easily interpreted on just one viewing, spectacular performances by actors including famous stars such as Drew Barrymore and Patrick Swayze, tasteful visuals, and a good selection of 80's rock songs that are played in the background. , ``Donnie Darko,'' which has many charms, achieved some success in theatrical release outside the United States. The following year, in 2002, when DVD and VHS video were released, it exploded in popularity all over the world, including the United States. Its status as a cult movie was established as many fans who watched it repeatedly posted their own interpretations on the internet.

By the way, this film was directed by Richard Kelly, who was born in Virginia in 1975 and was only 26 years old at the time of its release. He studied film production at the University of Southern California, and although he made two short films during his studies, he has not won any awards at film festivals and has little to no success. It seems like a miraculous event that he made his debut as a director with such a well-made film (rather than a low-budget independent film) and delivered a masterpiece that has been loved for a long time.

This time, we will introduce the key people who made such a miracle possible and the works that contributed to the appeal of the movie.
