Donnie Darko

Shoeless Ailbhe

you all know you want to talk about it. I need questions answered. And answers questioned. I need to know what others think, cos here in Portumna, bog hole of Ireland, my sis and I are the only ones who watched it. So to talk about it I've to talk to you like-minded people.

Why does Frank say sorry?

Because he killed gretchen?
It's been ages since i watched it last so i don't remember that well and thanks to you I'm going to end up watching it again tonight.. DAMN YOU!

Shoeless Ailbhe

But he hadn't killed her yet, and how did that tie in with.....

Oh. I think I get it now.

Forgive the stupidity.

Ok, I've tons more questions, but i want to hear others first. There have to be more fans out here! Come on!

By the way, I need to ask someone who's gone to the website a question. Reply, you someone you.

BEST. MOVIE. EVAR!!!!

i love this film. whoever has seen it, watch it again, then watch it again straight after. youll notice some REALLY freaky stuff that you took for granted as normal the first time.
example: within the first few scenes, a red car drives by on the road in front of donnie. this seems perfectly normal..BUT! it is actually the same car donnie uses to drive over that other guy in.

look out for, and take notice of EVERYTHING, you'll be surprised by what you find.

yeah, the amount of little tie ins are amazing.
I don't have any more questions about it anymore, I think i managed to answer them all

Here's something a friend showed me that's very cool

If he said sorry because he killed gretchen (which totally makes sense) then what did the bit with the mirror and knife have to do with anything??

Frank is actually Donnie's Sister's Boyfriend (tying into your red car point).

Green Hand Guy

At the mirror knife bit Donnie stabs Frank in the eye, then later on he shoots him in the eye. I think it's just meant to foreshadow that Donnie would be the reason that Frank lost his eye.
