I think Donnie Darko would have made more sense had I understood the hero possessed telekinetic powers and ripped the jet engine off the passenger aircraft with his mind. I mean, I got that Donnie knew when and where the tunnel would appear. I even understood that the jet engine was the glitch that signaled the tear in the universe. But, telekinesis never occurred to me. And it wasn’t quite clear that the jet engine had to go back to keep the world from ending.
Seven years later, it all makes sense. Not really, but thanks all the same to the Internet.
Also, I should mention I wasn’t able to sleep last night.
