Quality film - I think - but does anyone know what it _means_ ?

Lots of interesting interpretations/thoughts on the web, not surprisingly, e.g. http://www.geocities.com/darkodonniej/freewill.html which says that Frank is God and creates a way out of predestined determinism.



I must say I found myself attracted to the rabbit, both on the posters and in the film when I finally got to see it. Wasn't he supposed to be likable? (Don't think Donnie particularly liked him tho.) As for interpretation, I just enjoyed watching it and escaping into it. It's weird, I find these random films much more satisfying and that they make my life seem to make sense much more than the standard stuff.

Interesting stuff. I feel like the dream explanation is really neat, but a little disappointing - I'd prefer to see it all as true.



Amazing how many people will go to all the effort of posting on a site like that just to say they found the movie boring.



I especially like the post near the bottom that essentially says:



"I didn't like this film - lots of things happened that I didn't understand. What was the point?"



lol
