Just saw Donnie Darko

[jay o2 waster]

I always kind of thought that the whole movie was him dreaming on the night the engine fell into his room. Dreaming about what would have happened to him if the engine hadn't killed him.

From what I've read, and interpreted, you're very close. But he wasn't dreaming, he actually lived through all of it; using the knowledge he gained on time travel, he selflessly went back in time and died, instead of lived, so that he would never be there to meet the girl so that she would have never been at that party and died, and so on.

He went back because the world would have been completely annihilated if he hadn't.

But why would it have been completely annihilated?

i cried at the end of this movie the third time i watched it. i dunno why. i was wasted and it just really hit me.

one thing I don't get clear and that is 'why people like this type of confusing movies while they are still confused about the whole movie/the ending or so??':D

only good thing about this movie is it's unique kind of plot which ultimately makes people confused!:p
