I don't like to watch horror movies. . Fear of the bloody scenes and the spontaneous kind of fear. I chose this film entirely because I was attracted by the number. And of course gold. Kelly's starring
is not terribly intimidating to say that about being okay.
In fact, the structure and plot of the story should be said to be the unexpected ending type that has become more popular in recent years. Maybe for people who don't watch this kind of movies, it will feel relatively new. To put it bluntly, it's actually like a "secret that can't be told" type of script. But overall it's not a horror flick.
First of all, it is not like the general horror movie that only seeks inner stimulation and fear, or just tells a story.
After knowing the final ending of the story, you will undoubtedly have the same opinion as the protagonist walter or the screenwriter of the story, that is: be sure your sin will find you out --- no one can escape his own crime.
At the same time, after watching the whole film, my thoughts have also changed a lot from 2 hours ago. . . . . .

It seems that everything is related to 23. Even outside of the film we are beginning to believe that such a fate exists.
But you will find that the audience has been trapped by what they think is the kind of supernatural, just like the protagonist walter in the film. I accidentally bought a book called 23, and as I read chapter by chapter, his life changed with the characters in the book, because what was written in the book seemed to be exactly the same as his own life. This book portends bad luck. In order to solve the puzzles in the book and also to allow himself to return to a normal life, he decided to find out the truth. But who knew that the person he was looking for turned out to be himself. This book is also from his own hands.
as written in the book. He has been haunted by the number 23 - left behind when his accountant's father died, always believing that he was under a terrible spell by 23 and that fate came back to him. His life is full of that number. His name, his birthday, his house number, the number of his shoes. . blah blah blah. Killed his girlfriend because of numbers. But another innocent person is to blame. Walter decides to end his life and prepares to write a will in room 23 of the hotel to commit suicide. He lost his memory due to a suicide attempt and started his life again. His will was published privately. Until one day, it accidentally bought its own book and started the journey of facing itself again.
The film adopts two main methods, juxtaposing and overlapping the stories in the book with reality. In fact, it is also a complete coincidence of the protagonist's own life.
Of course the ending is undoubtedly: walter chooses to face his past and surrender himself. But looking at the whole film, the process of finding the truth is actually the process of facing oneself truthfully. Even if we are not perfect, even if we can't accept it when we know the truth, each of us is drawing a long line of life - without branches, every stroke on the painting cannot be erased. There are many fulcrums for you to choose in one's life. It is not difficult to make a choice. The important thing is how to choose, because every step you take can not be taken back. Like the conclusion at the end be sure your sin will find you out. We will take responsibility for what we do, for better or for worse.
Now that I think about it, those so-called mysterious numbers are nothing more than hoaxes that we just put on because we can't find a good excuse for what we're doing. Numbers, just numbers. To say a little more, it is nothing more than a number with some meaning.
Does destiny exist? I think there were, we created it ourselves at that time. ——There is a cause and there must be an effect

    Guess the plot development... ah... am I too sensitive?! Some far-fetched plots, but still pretty good. Suitable for people like me with an IQ level

  • Walter Sparrow: Chapter 23. You can call me Fingerling. My real name is Walter. Walter Paul Sparrow. What you've read so far is not the whole truth. Much has been changed to protect the innocent... and the guilty. I once read that the only philosophical question that matters is whether or not to commit suicide. I guess that makes me a philosopher. You can say it was my inheritance. After my mother's death, my father couldn't cope. He didn't leave a note... just a number. That number followed me from foster home to foster home till college when I met her: Laura Tollins. I thought she'd help me forget my father's number. It was a mistake to think I could escape it. I loved her. And I thought she loved me. Until my father's number returned to haunt me. That fucking number... When I circled every 23rd letter of her note... it became clear. The number had gone after me. And now it wanted her. I was right. She was in danger. I just didn't realize the danger was me. What began as a suicide note, turned into something more. Much, much more.
