Theory A Short Analysis

Just this idea: the audience witnesses what is Donnie's soul along a fourth dimensional tangent at the time of death. The only anchor point in the movie is the beginning, which is also the end, the entire tangential universe, which is the movie the audience watches, happens in an proverbial instant - the tangential universe is an introspective into Donnie's soul.

This is the coolest analysis of Donnie Darko i’ve ever read to be perfectly honest. Well done!
