How many people understood what the movie was about?  

What movie are you talking about?

What movie are you talking about? You left out the title.

it had a rather open ending so the audience can use their own fantasy to figure out what happened or not. some say there was no intention to let the audience make up endings.
either way the story line itself is also open for interpretation
was it all a dream, did he really leap through a hole...
but I think the main message was found in the end song (gary jules song) Mad World.. (just saw it) so correct me if I'm wrong

i watched this movie for 5 times i loved it's really excellent movie Dannie Darko

sometimes i wanna play the rule of donnie darko on my real life. but i can't it's too difficult.

so what are you doing in life lokayna?

Well the movie is definitely open to interpretation, and I think that anyone who watches it will take something different away from it.

The core story of the films which deals with inconsistencies in the time line and it being Donnie's ultimate choice and responsibility to fix it - sacrificing himself to save the one he cares about - I think that many people don't fully understand what's going on.

There's also lots of other small storylines within the movie itself - like the fat guy in the tracksuit who is following them.
If you watch the movie closely, you'll actually discover that he works for the team doing the airline investigation. He's following Donnie to try and figure out where the hell that engine came from.
I think a lot of people also miss the smaller storylines which are going on during the bigger story.
