Donnie Darko - SPOILERS

<< < (11/20) > >>

brokebackjack:
I thought it all happened as well.
I wonder if it was brought on by the pills he was taking...and am trying to figure out the connection between his sister's BF and the Bunny Rabbit.

By the way, I would have had the same reaction Donny's father did when informed he'd told Miss Farmer to take the card and place it up her anus lol

ednbarby:
It all really happened.  But Donnie is the only one who knew that.  To everyone else, it was just a dream.  :)

brokebackjack:
yeah, that's exactly what I thought, too.
Everyone thought the kid was dreaming but he wasn't, he actually saw these things, actually lived these things. There WAS a 6 foot bunny rabbit from another universe in Donny's life.

Do you have any idea why it took the form of Frank?

ednbarby:
Maybe because Frank was ultimately a sympathetic character.  When he took off the bunny head, he was just a kid his sister knew.  Remember - he was at the Halloween party.  Donnie's sister says at one point "Has anyone seen Frank?" (which is so funny on a couple of levels) and someone else says, "I think he went on a beer run" or something like that.

And Frank really did design and wear that bunny suit for Halloween.  I think it's more that Frank came through the portal wearing it than that the bunny was some other creature entirely.

brokebackjack:
That makes sense, that 'Frank' came through the portal after designing the Bunny. I have to watch it again later and see if I can get any more detail.

That business with Grandma death's book certainly would make for a much more understandable film by the way. Wonder why it was cut out in the theatrical edition...
