The ending was about Donnie's world ending. And his world was Gretchen (his girlfriend), so when Frank ends his world, he kills Frank, and then goes back and in order to stop the world from ending, he had to go with his ore destined path. Being killed by the Jet engine, in order to save Gretchen. That's the easiest way I can describe it and that's what I relieve to be the correct meaning for the end because I had trouble understanding it at first too.
I had trouble understanding the ending of Donnie Darko and was hoping someone or multiple people could clarify for me.
As we know in the begining of the film Frank leads Donnie from his bedroom and informs him of the end of the world, meanwhile an airplane engine lands in Donnie's room. Donnie is saved by Frank but later in the movie Frank kills Donnie's girlfriend and then Frank is killed by Donnie himself. Shortly after Donnie witnesses "the storm". Now i understand that the storm has a sign
Very well done explanation. Thank you. Its hard to believe I missed this many symbolic points in the movie. I will be paying closer attention from now on!

The opening song, in most versions is The Killing Moon by Echo And The Bunnymen, however in others it's Never Tear Us Apart by INXS.

only meaning of Donnie Darko is about a stroy of mere human straying to understand the reality that he lives in.
