I have one question for everyone...why did Donnie see Frank in the rabbit costume? How and why did this happen? Did he come from the future or what? Also, I think Donnie stays in his room at the end so that his future girlfriend will never meet him and will not die. Just my opinion though. Please help me out about Frank!!!

[glow=red,2,300]My theory is that once u die u can time travel. I think that frank did not want the world to end or he is a divine messanger. In a demonic rabbit suit. Ok it's a little impracticle but this movie challenges u to think.[/glow]

frank is a so called "manipulated dead"..i suggest you all read sparrows book in http://www.donniedarko.com..u learn so much from there and so many of your questions get an answer, but i gotto admit, i still got som1 left unanswered and wich ive, after got stuck on a impossible puzzlegame on the site, great doubts about ever getting an answer to..the manipulated dead are ppls who has died during a Tangent dimension thus getting stuck there forever and have only one purpose..saving the world from the black hole wich is generated through the implosion of the Tangent dimension

I went to the website, but on level 3 i read the conversation about the phonecall between some guys talking about the airplane being identical to one that already exists....but then after the call the screen just reads "time is up, donnie" and i hear phone static....and nothing happens. This scared the crap outa me the first time because i was like "WTF" but now i don't know where to go. How do you get to the part about sparrows book? I will check it out later again to see if i can get past the part.

Frank is the 'manipulated dead'. it is stated in Roberta Sparrow's "philosophy of time travel" that once the tangent universe is created, the manipulated dead are able to contact the living reciever through the 4th dimensional construct. So basically it was franks duty to make sure donnie was in the right place at the right time to guide the artifact back to the the real universe.

i was under the impression that frank is in a bunny rabbit costume because whenever donnie sees him hes actaully a gohst of the future, more specifficaly haloween - hence the costume - hold on..red sportscar??

Ok....hint...red sportscar. Speaking of the red sportscar, I noticed that it appears right in the begining of the movie when Donnie rides home on a bike. Coincidence? Not that's it's very relevent but interesting nontheless.

I see you already noticed about the car being in the begining of the movie. Never mind then.

Sorry about the last post...but in one of the deleted scenes, they're at an arcade and Donnie's playing this game with a red sportscar and then he crashes. It's interesting, and in the commentary it says it's a foreshadowing for what's going to happen in the end.

He doesn't stay in the room to save Gretchen. He hasn't met her yet in that universe, as she states. He sees Frank in the rabbit costume because of the incidents near the end of the movie at Sparrow's house on Halloween, when he dies. He then time-travels to warn DD of the subsequent end of the world, in the rabbit costume... get it kind of?

Hmm, a theory to put to you, maybe it's already been mentioned, but who cares? As seen in the deleted scenes when Donnie first meets Frank he says "God loves all his children" and this got me thinking.. if God loves all his children, why the HELL did Frank get Donnie out his bed?! If he hadn't got Donnie out his bad, there woulda been no tangent universe, and all the pain in that universe would never happened... but then i thought "The only person that universe actually had any effect on in OUR universe was Donnie himself"... So, what if God created this Tangent universe simply for Donnie? What if the whole idea of the universe was to give Donnie a chance to finally be happy? Then when he came back he didn't die as sad as he would have been, but he was laughing away looking quite chuffed. Dunno, maybe i'm just thinking into it too hard Also.. who the hell could have wrote the notes at the back of the Philosophy of time?! No one in the real universe should know that much about the Tangent universe!! Did the manipulated dead get that influenced?!

Not necessarily. Frank could not have contacted Donnie to get him out of bed if the tangent universe had not already been created when the clock struck 12. Frank got Donnie out of bed so he could be in the right place in the right time to traverse the portal and close it behind him. The Tangent was not a tool to make Donnie happy that was just the result.

Ok... then why the hell get him up?! He didn't DO anything, he just died. At the beggining if he'd just layed there... he'd have died. The same as what happened at the end. He didn't close the portal, cos the engine came through and squashed him after he came through.
