Then the only difference between universes is Donnie alive and therefore he is an Artifact in the Tangent Universe himself. Good point. Though that might imply those two universes are rather completely independent, but Donnie's laughing when he's "back" in his room suggests they aren't.
Personally, I prefer to think each respective engine crossed into the other universe's past - for no particular reason though — Zommuter. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

Manipulated dead refers to beings who have died in the tangent universe. Much like the task of Manipulated livings, MDs also have a single primary job in their portfolio. They do their best to ensure that the artifact is returned to the Primary Universe at any cost.
The method on which they rely for this is an ensurance trap that ensures no scope for the Living Receiver to back out from sending the artifact back. So, the ugly bunny Frank is the manipulated dead in this movie which gets a lot of things done by Donnie.
He kind of guides him to his ultimate purpose. Frank conspires with the events that ultimately trigger Donnie to make the ultimate sacrifice. Otherwise, Donnie would not have sent the artifact with such determination.? After reading all these theories, if you will again analyze the chronology of events, you will figure out how each event related to the other and how every proceeding ensured that Donnie would return the artifact.
For example —. Frank asked Donnie to flood his school; when Donnie follows this instruction, he has the opportunity to walk Gretchen to her home. Soon they become friends, and one day when they were sitting in a theatre, Frank asked him to burn the house of Mr.
Since he is exposed to be a pedophile, the gym teacher, Kitty Farmer a well-wisher of Cunningham , decides to stay back for the court hearing. As a result, his mother has to escort the dance group. The Darko siblings decide to host a party at their home, and Gretchen is invited. Two thieves attack them there, and Gretchen gets killed by a car in which Frank was a co-passenger. Donnie shoots Frank. The Frank we see now is an average human who is wearing a Bunny mask.
Donnie shoots him in his eye, and interestingly we understand at this time what was the reason behind that eye injury that we saw when Frank unmasked in the theatre in front of Donnie. Donnie soon notices the rip in the sky, which means that the end is imminent. To save all creation, the Artifact must be sent back into the vortex when the dimension split occurs. He is the hero that will stop all life from being destroyed.
What the hell kind of name is that? He uses telekinesis to rip the plane engine off and throw it back down the vortex. Does the living receiver have any help with this daunting task? Yes, he does and it comes in the form of t he manipulated dead. They have some idea of what is about to happen and have the power to move freely through time. Frank is a manipulated dead. For example, he tells Donnie to flood the school so he can meet Gretchen.
Gretchen is also a manipulated dead but in a different sense. By Donnie meeting Gretchen, losing his virginity, and falling in love, she becomes an important pawn in the game. She becomes the reason for Donnie to save all existence. There is also the manipulated , who are the other characters surrounding Donnie.
They all become players in pushing Donnie to finish his task. They will often have recollections of the events that took place in the alternative reality. Almost referencing how one may feel in a near-death experience. As seen in the clip below, Donnie is laughing as there is no more fear as he will die soon. Jim Cunningham is crying because he begins to wake up to his sick perversions. Frank places a hand over where he was shot. The film can be interpreted in countless ways and will always spark debate between me and my friends.
As a teenager looking for answers, I feel that I can now close the book on all I understand about the movie. This movie generated my love for analyzing film pushing me to gain the deeper discourses hidden under every layer.
