Movie: Donnie Darko

Interpretation:
The interpretation I've heard is to do with God. In the film God looks away for just a second and as a result Donnie has free will, gets out of bed and doesn't die as God had intended. However by doing so, God had been proved fallible, and therefore not omniscient.

The film continues that God no longer controls the flow of events, as he is no longer all powerful and knowing, and so creation begins to destruct. In a bid to avoid this God manipulates the living and the dead to encourage Donnie to realise his fate.

Towards the end, as the universe destructs, God creates a time portal near the plane to have the engine sucked through, and Donnie realises that in order to prevent the destruction of the universe he must die.
