Donnie Darko is a film made in 2001 by Johnnie Cochran. Johnnie had already proved himself the worlds greatest lawyer by successfully defending O.J Simpson and Chef from South Park, but was keen to prove he was not a one trick pony.
With Donnie Darko, he applied the same techniques he had used in court, i.e. making things so confusing that no one could understand what the hell he was on about but felt too confused and intimidated to say so out loud and thus accepted that he was right.
At least a dozen people have seen Donnie Darko, giving it rave reviews like "Huh?" and "Ummm, I think I get it." or "Oh right, yeah I get it...wait, what?"

[edit] Plot
The plot to Donnie Darko is as simple as it is straight forward.
Unfortunately, some simpletons wandered into the cinema, dragging their knuckles behind them, and failed to grasp what was going on.
So, for their benefit, here is a brief summary.
Of course, if you want to feel smug and superior, just skip this section and brag to people that you understood the movie right away. They will be too intimidated to argue and if they ask you to explain it just sigh and tell them what ignorant peasents they are.
The movie is centered on Donnie Darko, a teenager who has a hot girlfriend and emotional problems because of his silly name. Fortunately hes tanked up on pills. (Perscription meds to the rescue again!). Pretty soon on in the movie he is visited by The Easter Bunny, except the Easter Bunny is weird and scarey and makes mirrors go strange when you stab them. While this is going on, a plane crashes into Donnie's house but everyone is okay.
Donnie starts reading a book about kids breaking into a house that gets banned (but thats just the comedy sub plot, dont think about it too much.)
He also reads a book by a crazy old lady that stands in the street waiting for letters, so he sends her one because her book makes absolutely no sense. The book was given to Donnie by Carter from E.R. (no, seriously, it was!) in order to teach Donnie to time travel. By this time The Easter Bunny has predicted the end of the world, watched a movie with Donnie and his hot girl friend and shown Donnie his wormhole (Thats not an innuendo, you pervert). Donnie notices funny, glowy, watery snakes coming out of people. A bit like the things in Abyss, except these ones dont make faces or try to communicate, they seem to mostly just lead people to the fridge and back.
During all this, Donnie burns down a pedophile's house because the Easter Bunny told him too, which is odd as pedophiles tend to be the people mostly likely to dress up in Easter Bunny costumes. This is also a sub plot, stop getting side tracked.
The Easter bunny inadvertently runs over Donnie's Girl friend, so Donnie shoots him in the eye (whichs seems a bit harsh, its not like he shagged her!), thus explaining why he was missing an eye when Donnie first met him...wait...hang on that doesn't...anyway Donnie realises that he has to go back in time to get hit by a Plane, there by saving his hot girl friend and making his rock band wild stallions awesome in the future, as well as making sure his parents kiss at the under the sea dance.
However, the ending leaves the possibility that the events of the film may have been a dream, a parallel universe, a drug induced hallucination, a poorly explained plot line or a time travel paradox involving Donnie being his own mother.
There, simple and straight forward. I hope that silences any of you numbskulls who didn't understand the first time.
[edit] Symbolism
The Symbolism in Donnie Darko makes complete, undeniable sense, and is by far the easiest movie to understand on the planet. Basically, there is a plane crashing through Donnie's roof at 3 am while he is conveniently walking around a golf course. This plane engine obviously represents a vagina, and the plane itself represents the penis. Since the two separated but only the vagina seems to have crashed, it is showing the the penis can totally hold itself on its own, and that vaginas, without penises, can not function.
In a later scene, Donnie is in a school auditorium, receiving a lecture from Johnny Cash. It is obvious to his girlfriend, Genghis Khan, that he is completely in love with the lecture he is receiving. This lecture is so wonderful and enlightening to Donnie that he springs up. Through this, Donnie represents a penis erecting into the air. The air is obviously a vagina, as im sure you have guessed.
Another topic of the glowingly obvious symbolism in Donnie Darko is the wormhole that creates near the end. This wormhole is THE MOST obvious symbol and if you dont catch on to this idea, go jump off something very very high up and put a gun in your pocket before doing so just incase jumping doesn't kill you. The wormhole is the external world, the area outside of our comfort zone, and as it expands, it sucks up and destroys all of the world. This is showing that stepping out of our comfort zone is a BAD IDEA. It is showing the consequences of trying new things, and that if you ever leave your comfort zone, you will most likely be sucked into space and die. It also represents a vagina.
[edit] Criticism from dumb people who didn't get it
Cochran received a lot of criticism from those who felt his movie did, infact, make absolutely no fucking sense.
Cochran answered his critics with the following statement.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed media, some would have you believe that my movie is just not very good. They make a pretty convincing case. Hell, I almost felt guilty for making it. But ladies and gentlemen of the supposed media, consider this. Donnie Darko is a teenage boy who gets told by the Easter Bunny that the world is going to end so he travels through a worm hole to get hit by a plane. Ladies and gentlemen, that does not make sense! What the hell does a giant evil rabbit have to do with time travel? That makes absolutely no sense! What am I doing here? I'm a high priced lawyer, who not only makes a nonsensical movie about a time traveling rabbit, but then stands infront of the world wide media and proclaims that that very movie makes absolutely no sense! None of this makes any sense! So ladies and gentlemen, when you go to write your reviews of my movie, and you start conjugating the emancipation proclamation, ask yourselves this, does it make sense? No, it does not make sense. If Donnie Darko time travels with a rabbit, then you must write that I made a fantastic movie. The defence rests”
~ Johnnie Cochran on Donnie Darko.
[edit] The last few idiots who don't get it
A few truly ignorant members of the media proceeded to point out that the film making no sense was actually the problem, but Cochran was ready for them.
“Here, look at the Bunny! Look at the silly Easter Bunny!”
~ Johnnie Cochran on how to kick ass at argueing.
At this point the interview ended as several of the reporters heads a splode.
[edit] The Directors Cut
The directors cut contains an additional two and a half minutes of footage, including additions like crappier music, on screen messages about how to keep a universe in your pocket for a month without it going all sweaty and full frontal rabit nudity. And Donnie gets killed by a plank, nuff said.
