Basically, he finally does go nuts. Know how it starts out with him in the asylum? He wasn't crazy then. He goes through and explains what happens to the guy who comes to see him, but remember when Sutter Kane tells him "I write therefore you are"? When he goes to see the film, he watches the film and it shows everything that happens during the movie....his brain just sort of goes the way of the dodo, because he realizes his entire life was nothing more than a piece of fiction. Got a very Lovecraft angle that, unless you've read a lot of Lovecraft, is hard to grasp.

One of my favorite films, right up there with Dr. Strangelove and Blade Runner.

I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time last night and thought it was awesome, I'm waiting for the director's cut on Netflix, but I'd like to hear other's thoughts on it. The way I see it, when Donnie says "How to you know I'm not one(superhero)" it's a reference to the fact that he is either prescient alla Dune's Maud Dib, or at the end of the movie learns to master time travel thanks to Grandma Death, either way, the events we see in the movie are what happened before he was able to travel back in time and prevent his lover's and families' deaths by sacrificing himself, or he simply stayed in bed to give up himself and die to prevent the events of the movie he had seen presciently by dying in the accident, either way, the conversations he has with his science teacher are the key to understanding the film!

Thanks Brother. I hear what you're saying but I don't know. Time for a rewatch I suppose!
