So I just saw some this movie and thought it was awesome. Have some questions though, but they spoil the ending. Is it ok if I ask?

How come frank didn't save Donny the second time? Is it because Donnie strayed away from his god given path and killed him? But that doesn't explain the theatre scene. Any thoughts?

Um, no.

Black:

Frank didn't save Donnie the second time because Donnie had made the choice to die in order to save the girl he loved from dying. He couldn't go through everything again and save her, because that is what happens on his path if he is saved by Frank. However, he was given the opportunity to go back in time and die in his room (because the wormhole opened).

heh, yeah.

Black:

His meds were actually what was preventing him from seeing Frank. Remember, he stopped taking them. His "disorder" is what gave him the ability to see Frank, the wormhole, etc.

Well, either way, a placebo works the same as real medication. And no matter what he was taking it was his "condition" or "disorder" that allowed him to see Frank.

heh, fun with black text.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
