Donnie Darko
I watched Donnie Darko for the first time today, and I had a hard time "getting" it. I read through various websites, and I'm still struggling. I feel so stupid asking this, but could somebody relay it back to me in layman's terms? I might just have to watch it again, but oh well...

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
your really not SUPPOSED to get it. its actually based on the short story "The Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge", in which a man is being hung, but when he falls from the bridge, the rope around his neck breaks, and he is able to swim away while his enemy is shooting at him. so basically he gets home, opens his door, sees his wife, then he wakes up to find its all just a daydream. he ends up dying on the side of the bridge, hanging by a rope....
So there you go, now you know the original story.

Hey. The movie is about this kid who sees things and he gets a chance to go back in time. But he decides to be killed because it was destiny and all the things that would happen like his girlfriend dying and him shooting someone would probably happen all over again. I hope I helped .. drop one in the inbox if you want. <3 Laura

I would watch it again just to get all of the facts straight. Kevin has a goodc answer to this. It's alot like The Butterfly Effect exept less time travel.

Ok,you remember the crash in Donnie's room right that he avoided? Well,basically he was shown what would've happened if he had indeed avoided it. His girl would've died and everything else you seen in the movie. He loves her so much that he'd rather die himself and have her not know him than watch her die and feel that pain. It's a great movie,the best from Jake Gyllenhaal.
