[QUOTE="Ziona, post: 580772, member: 484"] My whole take on this movie was that Donnie was going to die because of the jet engine hitting his room (which was from his mom's time traveling plane). But, as he stated several times to his psychiatrist, he didn't have proof that there was a God, and therefore, didn't believe in God. Frank (who I thought was [COLOR=red][b]TERRIFYING[/b][/COLOR]) was there to convince Donnie that there was a God before Donnie died. If you remember the movie, (I only saw it last week), after Donnie is killed by the jet engine, it shows each of the people whose lives he effected when he didn't die. (almost all of them he effected negatively...the teachers lost their jobs because he was talking to them about time travel and because he flooded the school, which made parents think it was the lit they were teaching; he exposed the "fight fear" guy; he inadverdantly killed his girlfriend, killed Frank, etc.) So in a way, Frank was kind of an angel sent to make Donnie believe in God. He convinced him that he wasn't alone, and that when he died, he wouldn't be alone. So, he accepted his fate, died, and saved the lives of others. That's just my opinion, though. :) (BTW, thought it was a great movie!) [/QUOTE]
