Can anyone explain the film Donnie Darko to me please?

From the moment the first closeup of a clock occurs (signaling the first appearance of “Frank”), the film is simply Donnie’s dream about his own death. The dream portions don’t need to make sense – just like in one of your own dreams not everything makes sense or connects up. 99% of the film takes place in a split-second of dreamtime – like the last frittering sparks of a mind being snuffed out. This means the opening sequence and the final scene (returning to the jet engine falling on Donnie’s house) are the only “real” events in the whole film. The whole film IMO is about Donnie’s mind accepting his own demise.
