This movie kicked my ass and I don't have enough time to watch it again.

SO someone explain it to me? I watched the directors cut for some insight but all I got was a bunch of psuedo philosophical bullshit ranging from religion to time travel from some British college students or whatever.

I'm confused.

Okay here is how it is.

The beginning of the movie was the PRIMARY universe. He used telekinisis to rip the jet engine out of the air and land on him from the tangent universe. But he stood up and walked out, because the tangent universe would not exist if he didnt. Thus, Frank made him get out of bed. Frank was a manipulated dead. Since he was killed by Donnie in the end, he was given the power to get donny to go back and die. Donny has superpowers, time travel, elemental power(wind, earth, fire, water) and strength. Roberta sparrow checked her mail all the time because she wanted to believe her book was fiction, so she constantly checked so just in case, it wasnt. Gretchen had to die, because it was the only thing that would make donnie go back in time and get himself to die. In the primary universe, gretchin and frank had to live and DOnnie die.

I was trippin' balls when I was watching that movie already, and the point where I just lost it was when Donnie asked him who he was or something and the reply was "Do you believe in time travel?"

That's just not a response you hear every day, man.
