does anyone know the signifigance of that conversation donnies dad had with his mom at the hotel about how someone said they were doomed and said the same thing about donnie?
and does it tie into the movie theater convo where frank said he was named for his father and his father before him?
i know that both of these scenes are important but i havent figured out just why yet
gracias

The whole purpose of him discussing who his parents are is to throw you off of how he relates to donnie. The moment frank takes off his mask you expect him to either be some ugly demon or to be someone we have allready seen on camera. It leaves us pondering who this character is and whats his true purpose is in the story. If frank was to come out and said "i'm your sisters boyfriend", it would kinda diminish his qualities.

Kind of like the Frank at Jim Cunninghams presentation on fear and love? |

I always wondered about the "his name was Frank" scene, and I guess Cunningham was talking about Frankie Feedler. "he was doomed" says Donnie's dad "they could be saying the same thing about Donnie." It's possible that Frankie Feedler went through the same stuff as Donnie Darko (both have super-hero names), and I guess he could be Frank's dad.
