Donnie Darko is an incredibly deep and multi-layered film about life, death, self sacrifice, and the nature of time and reality.
Yes it has a deep philosophical meaning, and it points at the superficiality of everyday society. Full of irony and dark humour, it has a lot of emotional depth and intelligence and in places is genuinely creepy.
At an even deeper level its about the psychic and about the experience of schizophrenia.
The real question is at the end, does Donnie make the right decision?, at one level he does not, at another he sacrifices himself to save his girlfriend and Frank - the rabbit - the boy, plus maybe his sister and mother.
Here's another question, why does Frank save Donnie in the first place? - saving Donnie starts the cycle that kills Frank, and then saves him again when Donnie sacrifices himself? Yeah Franks a seriously odd character.
In all not a film for the stupid or the shallow, but otherwise wonderful.

a donnie darko is the avaola (the dark area around the nipples) or pubes of a woman seen through translucent clothing especially in a swimming pool, but this could also be seen somewhere else.

A) Anyone who has seen donnie darko, and a lot of people who just havn't seen it yet but are fans and just don't know it yet. NOTE: This term does not apply to people who's names start with J and end with ohn Palmer.
B) Those who are of good taste in movies, and often times like consuming Frappuchinos, odd eggwhite covered ice cream ball like things, and herbalish thick green beverages of the consistancy of vommit.

Darko is a mysterious man, mysterious in the way you have to know more about him, try to understand him. He is a love at first sight kind of man, you will probably break off your long term relationship just for the prospect of something new with Darko. He smokes a lot of cigarettes but looks hot while doing it. He will make you feel spoiled and lucky, but in the end he will likely break your heart or unalive you.
