Retribution for good and evil will come eventually

As a thriller, this one made me a little nervous, especially about 23's obsessive algorithm.


"I should be an accountant"—I have a close relationship with the protagonist. SHIT~ It's not that easy to hook numbers to 23! There must be the meticulousness of scientists, the unrestrainedness of artists, the self-righteousness of psychics, the stubbornness of paranoia, and the spirit of Mennonites who reject all modern equipment and use walls, mirrors, and arms as calculation paper~~ especially in movies The part where Walter (Jim Carrey) talks about the mysterious origin of 23 must be watched carefully, so that you will know, - all kinds of combinations, additions, divisions, inversions, pieces, in short, spare no effort to put together. 23 out of various ways.


Forget the wall, after all, it is my own home, I found an expired accommodation invoice, and the back can still be used. After a while, I realized such mysteries as "Humans have 46 chromosomes, 23 of which come from the father and mother", "Blood circulation takes 23 seconds", and "The Mayans predicted that the earth would be destroyed on December 23, 2012", etc. I racked my brains to count my own and others' birthdays, the Tangshan earthquake, and other special days. The result is that some succeed, some fail, and finally give up. Well, I believe that all the mysteries of life are hidden in this number, but I can't work it out ~ and


then watch the movie, everything goes downhill, it's not logical. "Is 23 a blessing or a curse?" The protagonist Walter knows the question but doesn't know the answer; when he spends all his time knowing the answer, the question disappears or is meaningless. ——“There is no so-called destiny, only different choices.” All seemingly accidental arrangements in the world may not necessarily contain inevitability, and the person you think you have become may not necessarily be yourself; the only thing that can be half-trusted and believed is that The warning at the end of the chapter, Be sure your sin will find you out


In addition, there are also several episodes in the film that reveal the title~ There is a very powerful TEAR YOU APART. Accompanied by it, Walter and his ex-girlfriend are intertwined in the flashback. The body is full of evil tattoos. An exhilarating horror of beauty. This song is from SHE WANTS REVENGE (she wants revenge), the lyrics are very long and wild~ There is also a song, NINE HORSES (nine horses) from the United States, called The Banality Of Evil (the banality of evil), for the ending song It's also a warning~
