I finally got the DVD; its resolution is *much* better than the download, and the Madworld music video is one of the extras. So this time I saw the aforementioned Frank O' Lantern in the kitchen.
In the last therapy session, under hypnosis, Donnie sees Frank in place of the portrait above the fireplace (whose picture was that anyway?). Just before snapping Donnie out of it, the therapist tells him that when the universe collapses, there will be nothing left--just him. Both universes gone, and him stranded, would be more terrifying than "merely" dying alone. So God, or the Manipulated Dead and Living, act on both his fear of being (let alone dying) alone and his love for Gretchen (and for everyone else, in varying degrees) to get him to do the right thing. He says to the gym teacher that emotions are not reducible to fear and love, but they are in his case. |
