Not knowing sets you free!

The ultimate question in life for every human being is, "What happens at the end?"
"Donnie Darko" is a film that I fell in love with from the initial watch. I found myself trying to break the film down. Trying to understand it. What does all the subtext mean? There has to be something right?
What I found after watching it multiple times and reading dozens of reviews is that it means something different to each and every viewer.
Donnie becomes somewhat of a superhero to me throughout the film. He's incredibly intelligent, catches the eye of a cute new girl, and more or less fights evil throughout the movie.
Richard Kelly, lets YOU decide if he's mentally ill, or somewhat of a Christ incarnate, or something in between. It's your own beliefs, rather, imagination, that makes the film make sense to YOU.
