That is wht he was given exactly 28 days(or was it 29?) to set the event right to preserve the fabric of time and space. An implicit deux ex machina was given in order for the ending to make a lick of sense to the entire body of the plot and film.
At least, that's what I took from it. 
EDIT: and it is 'cited'.  |
yeah but how is Darko transformed as an individual? To me it was like he spent a lot of time in a fugue state but then realized his role in events. he didn't really change as a character, he just fulfilled his destiny.
At least, that's my take on it.

yeah, I see that ---the transformation was a literal one.
