The bugs are ridiculous

A movie that needs to create a number of theories to explain it still doesn't make sense. It can only be said to be a joke, pretending to be 13.
The most buggy point is that the offline universe was created because an aircraft engine was thrown into the original universe. The solution to this is obviously to avoid the engine being thrown elsewhere. The problem is that the movie still gives the engine to the original universe. Throw it away, what can this solve? Whether the male pig's feet die or not will not cause a difference in quality, do you really think the soul of the male pig's feet is so valuable?
I am still thinking of various reasonable explanations.
In a universe, due to an engine in the future, it is unstable, and it hangs up after 28 days. When it hangs up, the aircraft engine is thrown 28 days ago. In fact, in this case There is no cycle. If you hang up, you hang up, and everything doesn’t exist anymore. How could someone go back to save the world in the hanged universe, but it’s just that people’s minds have been following the engine in that time loop.
It's a pity that the director only wanted to highlight the theme of a sullen and angry teenager who bravely sacrificed himself to save the world. All kinds of soundtracks, hallucinations and special effects, it felt like they were all disturbing audiovisuals and making up mysteries. In fact, his method of saving the world is yy, the plane engine was thrown back as it was, and the water was thrown out.
In fact, there is a more energy-intensive explanation. After 28 days, the universe did not hang, but it was reset to 28 days ago, no matter how big the project was. Anyway, the word reset is convenient to write, so it seems to be an endless cycle with 28 days as a cycle. But again, unless the engine isn't thrown in the past, it doesn't matter what the fuck is going on with the pig's feet. . .

Donnie Darko quotes

  • [Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]

    Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?

    Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.

    Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.

  • Gretchen: Um, where do I sit?

    Karen Pommeroy: Sit next to the boy you think is the cutest.
