Movie: Donnie Darko

Interpretation:
Ok I haven't watched the movie in about a week, so I just went over what was on the top of my head. Here goes.

In my opinion, this movie was about… time travel/God’s big plan. When Donnie met Frank the rabbit, who at the time was dead and only Donnie could see, he was lured out of his house, down the road to talk to the mysterious rabbit. While Frank told Donnie how long the world had left, which in my opinion was because just by Donnie leaving his house to meet with Frank, he had broken what was SUPPOSE to happen, causing everything in the world to be effected.
With Frank allowing Donnie to see things, such as others and his own direction in life, Donnie had the opportunity to defy the direction he was chosen.


(Here comes the time travel)
Frank was a normal kid, but only at the ending of the movie. Throughout the movie, he was a ghost, giving Donnie orders and providing important information.
Donnie was the one who had messed up Frank’s eye, when he shot him after running over and killing his girlfriend near the end of the movie. The end of the world was the world being set to an earlier point, when Frank and Donnie threw everything off, this time involving no disruptions, and having everything happen the way it should have the first time. Donnie being in his room when the jet engine hit. The ending was sad and unexpected, but it seemed as though Donnie’s mom and Donnie’s girlfriend remembered each other before the world ending and being basically reset?


Did they remember each other? Was it just a dramatic stare? That’s what makes the movie great, you don’t know.
