Donnie Darko Discussion
OK so like eric said, we need a discussion thread for watched movies and i'll start it off with this one.
What the fuck did I just watch?

You have to understand, the movie uses alternate universes.
There's a tangent universe that is introduced that has a lifespan of 28 days (after the jet engine falls to earth). If Donnie doesn't correct the problem (i.e. the jet engine), the tangent universe will collapse and take the primary universe with it. Donnie is given supernatural powers by Frank (the freaky rabbit) to correct the problem.
Have a read of the wiki page

Look at the Director's Interpretation.
I agree though, this movie is a mindfuck.

Re: Donnie Darko Discussion
Sorry for the necro, but I got around to watching the film a couple weeks ago.
The theory is not sound, imo. Frank the bunny cant exist which means no movie. If the theory were to actually form any logic the movie would begin and end with the engine falling and killing Donnie.
