A great movie, but the ending is not so clear cut. There are two major schools of thought as to why Donnie ends up going back to his room at the end to be killed. The first and aparently more poular is that he is martyring himself in order to save all the people he died. The darker opinion is that he forgets/doesn't realise that this is when his bedroom will be destroyed, and his death is due to simple human error (a rather black humor way to go, which fits the tone of the movie) The directors almost certinly intended for the first interpritation (given all of the christ overtones donnie being a martyr is just par for the course) but I think the second interpritation makes a much more interesting ending.
