Could someone explain this movie to me? I am normally the one to do so but, this time I am confused. Doggweber@yahoo.com, Thanks!

Honestly i think he had severe mental disorder,and was not treated correctly at first i am glad to say i am doing very well now. Being on incorrect medication myself in the past, the effects are horrible,hallucination, thoughts of death ect.. in the beginning Donnie was not taking any meds, then as soon as he started taking them he was hallucinating,being out of touch with reality, thinking irrational,like the world will end if he does not do what his head is telling him, and in the end Donnie was still not ok hence, death, but everyone else was exactly the same, just as they were when it flashed back to his life before he died.He was not ok then either,but everyone else was. In my personal experience i focused a lot on his mental state in the movie . He may have seen this "bunny" figure before, and it stuck in his mind,(after all wouldnt আপনি think he would of known of his sisters boyfriend frank?) getting fixated on him, as well as portals...where other mental illness can fixate on death murder ect.Like when a murderer says there dog told them to go on a killing spree..Its not because of portals and time travel,its because they are mentally not right.Donnie was out of touch with reality. He was getting worse and worse and was not being treated correctly,I think when the plane hit the first time in the beginning he really died,then went back to প্রদর্শনী আপনি his life before he died, For example Gretchen was never really his girlfriend , maybe a girl he had seen before but they never spoke a word. Therefore it caused Donnie to fantasized about there relationship when it never even existed, we were watching the movie THROUGH Donnies perspective , the way he perceived life, the way he perceived characters, not how they really were in the movie. Then they throw in all that Mumbo jumbo stuff about time travel and everything to confuse viewers and keep them wondering. i do not believe Donnie was a form of "modern Jesus" i think he was on medication that wacked him out,he got to the point that he felt doomed, and helpless,not caring whether he lived অথবা died. Having to struggle through his life. Like he was so unhappy and confused it was his "destiny" to die from the jet engine.To "be at peace" আপনি could say.

The Director doesn't even tell us what the whole movie means...I think আপনি have to take from it what আপনি will. To me the whole movie is about how Donnie is being shown what is going to happen in his future and kind of being asked if he wants his future to continue...He gets to meet Gretchen who he falls in প্রণয় with. This girl who totally understands him and loves him back but he can see that she will die and it will be the worst pain he's ever felt in his life...instead he choses to die being crushed দ্বারা the airplane engine and to never know her than to suffer that heartbreak. I also think it's sort of about Donnie's struggle with life, how people in his town are really messed up like freaky child molesters who try to make him think a certain way . He just doesn't fit in. But When frank says that the world will end...he doesn't mean everyone's world he just means Donnie's.

how long an answer do আপনি want? - In fact a lot of article's and বই have been read about this same subject. If আপনি watch the DVD together with the মতামত of the director আপনি get an idea/although the ideas of the director aren't necessarily important.
I take something different from it every time I see it, which is something that I think is an important quality in a good film. 1. theory is that there is a rift in the structure of time and মহাকাশ as Donnie should have died from the plane engine from nowhere, when this doesn't happen the world is unravelling and Donnie suspects this, the only way to make it good is দ্বারা dying in the end - the world (his world) dies at that end.
The elussions to Frank are also interesting as he is the one who is dating D. sister (when she comes in after her তারিখ আপনি hear the বড় দলা of his horn) and the one who kills Gretchen and who Donnie ends up killing....(I seriously could go on and on, so just watch it over and over again, read প্রবন্ধ about it, etc)

Okay, so there is a tangent universe and a primary universe. When the jet engine falls into donnie's bedroom, it creates the tangent universe. The TU is very unstable and will eventually corrupt, and the PU universe (the universe we exist in now) will be destroyed too. So frank who is the manipulated dead has to help donnie destsroy the TU দ্বারা sending another jet engine back into the PU through a portal. Frank makes donnie flood the school, which leads him into meeting gretchen. when gretchen dies, he gets so upset that he kills frank. So, gretchen was one of the manipulated dead too. anyways, if he had never killed frank, donnie would not have been saved. if he had not been saved, there would not be anybody to destory the TU. So, when gretchen dies, donnie is pretty much trapped. so he gets the jet engine from the plane and sends it back through the portal destroying the TU. this time donnie gets killed দ্বারা the jet engine 'cause afterall it was his destiny. and since he had a mental disability, it was for the best. but he did not HAVE to die, i mean the PU could have been saved without him dying. annd none of the things that happened in the TU would not have happened in the PU, like gretchen dying. so i don't think there really was a "sacrifice" !

i pretty much just summarized it, if আপনি want a full explanation আপনি can just গুগুল it!

Donnie is dead!
He dies at the start of the movie.
The whole movie is in a what if he didn't die situation.
Donnie is also diagnosed as a Paranoid Schizophrenic. This is why he has his imaginary bunny friend.
Donnie is living in a tangent universe and in order for the world to remain as it would have been if he didn't die he has to die in the tangent universe.

I hope this helped you
