When Frank shows Donnie his eye in the cinema, and Donnie asks " What happened to your eye?" Frank replies "I am so sorry." Is this because he killed Gretchen, or because he woke Donnie and started the whole thing? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I think its because he killed gretchin, because donnie was liek what happened to your eye, and what really happened to his eye was donnie shooting him for killing gretchen, donnie dosent know this yet(duhh) but frank came from the future knwing that he was shot for that, and is now apologizing

this is one of the things i cannot completely grasp... the evidence is there to support all of the theories, so i don't think we'll ever know for sure unless kelly ever gives us a straight answer  ha... does he apologize for killing me? ;D does he apologize for donnie having to die? i don't believe he is apologizing for 'starting the whole thing' because frank the BR did not in fact start the unstable TU or decide on donnie as the LR... UNLESS, you belong to the "frank is god" church and you would believe that frank the BR, being god, DID start the whole think and choose donnie as the LR. personally, i don't believe frank the BR is god, but perhaps the voice of god, a messenger of sorts. |

It's true that this feels loose enough to support any number of interpretations. For what it's worth, I agree with suggestions made by both 28I06I42I12 and Gretchen and find it most likely Frank's offering a two-fold apology, one where he's thinking specifically of the events on the road in front of Grandma death's house, and the other where he's thinking of the cosmic road Donnie will traverse in the TU:
D: "What happened to your eye?"
F: [Thinking of the events that precipitated him being shot in the eye and killed] "I'm so sorry [for running Gretchen down and driving you to kill me]."
... and ...
D: "What happened to your eye?"
F: [Thinking of all of the pain through which Donnie must be put to get him to act faithfully as the Living Receiver] "I'm so sorry [for the actions I must lead you to commit, and the pain you will feel along the way]."
