I don't understand the end of the film... Maybe I'd had to watch it another time!

(Did you watch the director's cut or the theatrical release... I own both, and they are both vastly different in endings, but I can help you to understand )

Three words. Best movie ever.
I get it. It is about time. The little bubble things show you like where you are going to go and almost at what time. They talk a lot about timetravel so you kinda get the feeling that is what it is about. On the other hand I somehow think it is about how he ahs to save himself to keep others alive.

Frank was my hero! Well basicall the point is, he's convinced that he's bringing the end of the world. It's not technically the end of the world, because that part of his life would just be playing over and over again. That's basically the thing. He needs to end his own life, to close the wormhole, so life can go on. Basically, life ends and begins every 28 days, etc. XD Yay! I sound smart..But I know I'm wrong somehow.

The thing is, there isn't a simple explination about what the movie's REALLY about. jake himself says he has absolutely NO clue what it's about *lol* the point is that you come up with your own theories and explinations. what do YOU think really happened? I watched the movie about 10 times I guess, next to Brokeback it's my fav movie EVER, totally mindblowing. I like to call this kind of movie a MIND-FUCK movie. My advice: visit the 'cellar door' Donnie Darko website, where you can find pages from The Philisophy of Time Travel book ( which can btw be seen in The Director's cut )- the book's a REAL important part of getting it; or watch the Director's Cut ( be sure to 'pause' when the pages popp up and read them carefully ) OR, an even better idea, watch the movie with Jake and Richard Kelly's COMMENTS!!!! I really got A LOT thanks to that. They explain a whole buch. Those two AND the book! Hope that helped! Welcome to the mad world of Donnie Darko- enjoy your stay

Donnie Darko is one of my favorite jake movies with Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead. It is such a different movie. It has comedy,thriller,drama. It is just a great movie.

He can be scary at first, but you get to know and love him. I like to draw little pictures of him all over my folders. (kinda a hobby)
I think the movie is about time travel, but I don't think anyone knows for sure.
