Question about Donnie Darko

[Lord Nibbler]

Quick question: Why did Donnie have to get his mother on the plane? Why couldn't he have let Kitty take Sparkle Motion () on the trip? Is it because he needed to throw the party and couldn't have done if his mother was there? But why did he need to throw the party?

[Guest kijlhumt]

So that he and Gretchen would be able to go to the cellar door, get Gretchen killed and have Donnie kill Frank.

He needed to get his mom on the plane to set all of that up.

[EndOfAnEra]

Indeed.

Frank Was Here.

Went To Get Beer.

[Lord Nibbler]

So if he hadn't thrown the party, Frank wouldn't have died and so he wouldn't have been able to help him with the other stuff?

[Guest kijlhumt]

If he hadn't have thrown the party, the world would have ended, since Donnie wouldn't have been in his bed to be killed by the engine.

Plus, Frank would have lived.

[Guest fultie]

That movie was soo far out.

If he hadn't have thrown the party, the world would have ended, since Donnie wouldn't have been in his bed to be killed by the engine.
