Like was time travel real. Why did he die at the end instead of leaving the room.

Because that's what needed to happen. The whole fuckery happens because he wasn't there to die in the first place when he should've.

IIRC he realized he was in a closed time travel loop where he knew he would die and he resigned to his fate, though word of God said that he didn't have to die, he could have walked out

It's been like a decade since I've seen the movie though so I'm probably wrong

Check out the director's commentary some time. It's nuts.

*big spoilers*

the loose outline of the film is that donnie is this angsty & disconnected kid that gets sucked into this tangent timeline where he is the only one who can restore things, he falls in love with a girl who makes him feel connected to the world again, and he completes his mission of restoring the timelines.

at the end he is laughing at the situation, i think because he's at peace with it all and is laughing at the absurdity, and as he dies all the people who were affected by him in the tangent universe kind of feel an echo of what happened there in the main one.

Reminder to use spoiler tags.

Was all that alternate universe stuff explained in the film or is this just audience interpretation

What makes the movie a mystical and artistic experience, especially in the original version, is that it is ambiguous. I know when my friends first viewed it the movie had us at the edge of our seats, it was unlike any movie we had seen at the time but that was years ago. The movie doesn't have the same effect it used to have, it was like a mind blowing movie for teenagers back when movie rental stores still existed. -*spoilers* the movie is about a teenager who gets given a second chance to live in an alternate universe but realizes his destiny was to die for the betterment of society.

It should probably be noted that til this day no one truly understands the movie and the even the director doesn't seem to understand what he made if you watch the directors cut which is awful. That's what made the movie so special to so many people, coupled with a memorizing soundtrack and an amazing caste and acting and you get one of the best pieces of American cinema. No real effects, just a pure cinematic experience that left people on the verge of tears but also blew their minds.

I loved the movie but didn't know what the hell was going on so I had to do some research into it and it's actually not that hard, it's just crazy how there's a lot of symbols in the movie that just aren't connected because they forgot to write it in or cut it out or something.

It's not explicitly explained in the theatrical cut. The Philosophy of Time Travel book in the movie has pages you can read online that explain what's going on.

The Director's Cut goes so far as to superimpose pages from the book on the screen at various points.

Because that's what needed to happen. The whole fuckery happens because he wasn't there to die in the first place when he should've.


I wish another certain Donnie would choose to die to restore the timeline.
