OK NOW!
everyone remember near the end of the movie were donnie is laying in bed reading and laughs? well i think that it is the first in the movies chronological order!? this works because from there he sees the future and decides what to do. For instance he looks to see what it would be like if he left his room= =loved ones die(ie: mom, sister, girlfriend) so he stays. Donnie could tell the future with "Frank" who is a worm hole kind of. With Frank donnie could choose his future, witch he chooses the lesser of the two evils.
Tell me what you Think!

BUT YOU KNOW IN THE COMENTRY THE DIERCTOR SEEMS TO SAY DONNIE DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE. ALSO THAT FRANK TRYS TO SAVE DONNIE WITH THE HORN HONKS. SO DOES HE CHOSE TO DIE FOR THE REASONS YOU JUST WROTE? I WONDER THE MOVIE ALMOST MAKES MORE SENSE IF DONNIE HAS TO DIE =G= |

If Donnie had to die then Frank would never have had to lure Donnie out of the room.
Yes, I agree that Donnie saw the future and decided to die to prevent the deaths of Frank and Gretchen. POTT says people see the tangent universe from dreams.

The "horn honk" has always bothered me, 1) because for a long time I didn't hear it and 2) after a time and dimension spanning adventure and mission, the best lame-ass Frank can do to tell Donnie they accomplished their mission is to honk a damn car horn?

SO DOES HE CHOSE TO DIE FOR THE REASONS YOU JUST WROTE? I WONDER THE MOVIE ALMOST MAKES MORE SENSE IF DONNIE HAS TO DIE =G= Ok, if the world really WAS going to end (sky opening, world being sucked in, whatever) then Donnie DID have to die to save the world. I mean, might as well, right? If he hadn't, there wouldn't be any world to live in anyway, right? BUT! If the world WASN'T going to end (if Frank just meant Donnie's personal life ending, Gretchen, blah, blah), then Donnie didn't HAVE to die. He just would have lived with Gretchen dying, him killing Frank (which he probably would have gone to jail for) and his sister and mother dying in the plane. That ain't no way to live, is it? So, no, he didn't have to die, but he would have had a miserable life had he not. |

thats what always gets me. was it his personal world or the whole world? if it was his personal world then whats up with all the portle sucking up things(the plane) or was that a tornado? it kinda has to acctaully be the end of the whole world, right? cuz there was really a wormhole and it would have collapsed. maybe it was both the whole world and his personal world.

What does the horn honk have to do with anything? The horn is there both times. I think the honk is for Donnie's sister. She smiles each time.

ThatGuy, yeah, that's true. But, if the director says it's got another meaning, guess you gotta accept it. Still don't really like it though, even if it does add to the tragedy of Donnie's demise. Plus it doesn't make sense if we're now back in the "real" world, so why does "alive" Frank honk the horn to warn Donnie? Another anomaly in the film which leads one to say, (all together now) "it happened because it was supposed to happen." Fate, destiny, etc, and etc.

Frank honks the horn because ppl remember events from the tangent universe in their dreams. At the end, when everyone wakes up, and Mad World is playing, Frank remembers the bunny suit. (Or he's BEEN remembering it, seeings how he made the mask and drew those pictures) and then later on, he honks the horn maybe because he feels he should, even if he doesn't exactly know why. I think that's why, anyway!  |

I think that's why, anyway! It's funny how way off you people on this board are. Frank's honks are due to the fact that he accidently crapped his pants and he is so frustrated with himself that he just starts beating on the steering wheel / horn in disgust. He knows that Donnie's sister will probably find out about it and he knows that things between the two of them will end abruptly. |

POTT says people see the tangent universe from dreams. See I always wondered that...if Frank hadn't woken Donnie up and told him that there was 28 days left, he would have stayed there and died, thus putting an end to the tangent universe, but there wouldn't be a movie. I refuse to believe that Frank's act of waking Donnie was just for a plot sequence. So, if Donnie really didn't have to die than his shown future could be changed but then again would cause a tangent universe because he changed his surroundings. I guess what I want to ask is what exactly in the movie opened the tagent universe and could it have been avoided while keeping darko alive? Is that a contradiction just like Dr. Noah Wyle said? You can see the path but can you change it without apocalypse? |

i was so going to say that.  annnnnd.... why is this in the news section? if people actually read the other posts rather than just posting whatever and whereever they want... they'd see that this was already under discussion elsewhere. |
