The movie is open to multiple interpretations, the director himself doesn't deny alternative interpretations, some things happen for no reason, and some paradoxes are not explained. That's what I was getting at. The Wikipedia article discusses some of this... it's not just me blabbering on:

I suspect that if you think you "got" the movie completely, you really didn't get the movie.

Ugh, that movie really, really sucks. It's only trumped by the second. They will fool me no more, I won't go anywhere near this brutal franchise ever again.

Loved Donnie Darko the first time I saw it. Didn't fully understand it until I saw it a second time and filled in some of the holes, but was pretty close. Odd mix of humor laced into a fairly grim story which is usually hard to pull off (atleast I think so).

And it's also the only Gary Jules song I can actually listen to.

I also enjoyed this movie. I've seen some extended/deleted scenes (which I assume would make a Director's Cut, I could be wrong) which tried to add a religious meaning that the movie doesn't really have or need. Wasn't for me, but some may like.

That bunny, Frank, is without doubt the most scary thing I ever saw!
But the movie was great, rather confusing also; especially if you are so scared of the scenes with the bunny you have to look away :p I seriously missed a good part of it...

for fans of donnie darko, see "the machinist", which takes a similar idea and goes very dark with it. this film has scenes that linger in the imagination like the best of cronenberg or lynch.

I don't agree, I'm sorry...
I bought his album at a time when money was no object for me (?!) and only played that track...
Years later I listened to the complete album, and find it not so bad...
