      Just love Jim Carrey!

      I don't have great expectations for this suspenseful little thriller, because the genre has developed quite maturely, and it's nothing more than a few situations (the protagonist is perverted or schizophrenic, the protagonist is paranoid...) , but my interest in Jim Carrey, especially in this major transformation, is far better than the movie itself. In every movie that has him in it, no matter how good or bad, his performance has never let me down. I like him. He is a true actor, and I like...

      This is the worst suspense movie I've ever watched.

      The main problem is that I have never seen a suspense film that took more than 20 minutes to shake the burden and tell the story from beginning to end. There are also suspense films that use criminals to change their minds and turn themselves in. I'm not very comfortable with the moralizing ending. However, Gene Kelly's performance is still excellent, except for one or two actions that make him a little unforgettable for his comedy effect, most of the time it is still very appropriate to the...

      Still better

      Speaking of Jim Carry, I have to talk about his other new work, "The Number 23" (the number 23), which is full of weirdness and a bit like a horror movie.

      In fact, it's really like a horror movie, or at least a thriller - read a book, look at it, and actually see that she is a murderer, or a former lunatic - terrifying, and has been pretending to be a literary youth recently. , after reading several books, I can't guarantee that one day I will not find out that I am also a former...

      different from what I imagined

      When I knew about this film, the combination of the title and the poster allowed me to conceive the skeleton of a very wonderful suspense film.
           On the contrary, if the theme of 23 is removed, something else is added... The result is completely true; why can't the director play to the extreme point, it is only a small step away from becoming a classic. Of course it's a bit difficult.
           I'm a huge annoyance with numbers, and of course I'm not going to be crazy about 23 or...

      There must be a cause

      twenty three. . It seems to be a very mysterious number.

    Movie plot

    All of this began with a mysterious novel called "Number 23". From the day Walter ( Jim Carrey ) opened it, he couldn't let go of it anymore. Everything described in the novel has nothing to do with him. Life coincides with each other. It is like a mirror, a mirror that scares Walter, forcing him to face the long dusted past and the unreachable future.
    This novel called "Number 23" was originally a birthday gift given to him by Walter's...

    Movie quotes

    • Walter Sparrow: I could have died there on the street, but that wouldn't have been justice. At least not the justice fathers teach their sons.

    • [last lines]

      Walter Sparrow: To die there in the street would have been easy. But it wouldn't have been justice, at least not the justice fathers teach their sons about. I'll be sentenced in a week or so. My lawyer says the judge will look kindly upon me for turning myself in. Maybe it's not the happiest of endings, but it's the right one. Some day I'll be up for parole, and we can go on living our lives. It's only a matter of time. Of course, time is just a counting system - numbers with meaning attached to them - isn't it?

    • [first lines]

      Walter Sparrow: A week ago, the only thing I thought was out of the ordinary was that it was my birthday.
