Donnie doesn't have many friends, if any, at the beginning of the movie. The beginning of the movie is that a jet engine falls through the roof of Donnie's families home and right through his bedroom, that had he been in he would have been killed. He's alone a lot, but soon begins seeing a lot of different things. One of which is Frank the Bunny Rabbit. Frank is possibly one of the creepiest things I have EVER seen in my entire life.
Donnie becomes friends with a new girl at his school, and they begin dating. He falls in love with her, and she appears to love him. It's a little unclear of how much, though. That just adds to how the movie is.
During this movie, you are given a glimpse into a person who feels alone, who has a lot of problems stemming from the ultimate revelation made towards the end of the movie. Donnie is so easily related to because I feel the way he does sometimes. As if everyone is simply watching you to see what you do for their own entertainment.
Whenever I watch this movie, I cry. I'll admit it; I bawl like a little kid. I do get rather creeped out by Frank, though. He just makes your skin crawl from some of the things he does and says and how he appears out of seemingly nowhere.
The best interaction in the movie, in my opinion, is when Donnie and his sister are at the bus stop. It is possibly one of the most normal interactions in this film, between a little sister and her big brother. It's also my favorite set of lines. Donnie is given a cigarette by a friend, and he says to his sister, "What happens if you tell Mom and Dad about this, Sam?" Samantha replies with, "You put Ariel down the garbage disposal."
The ending to the movie was utterly unexpected for me when I watched it. I probably cried the hardest at that point. This is a film that is completely worth watching again and again, although you shouldn't watch it alone the first time, due to Frank the bunny rabbit.
