just a string of numbers

I don't know math, and I guess the director doesn't know much either XD. Translate it into philosophy: the series of numbers that the protagonist chases in the film is like the "truth" pursued in modernist hermeneutics, a constant (synchronic) explanatory structure that explains everything (the "pattern" in the film). ”), it’s hard to say whether it exists or not, but this film was made in 1998, and postmodernism has taken a more prestige position. The protagonist, the mathematician, has a series of setbacks in the process of pursuing this series of truth numbers, so he finally gave up Everything, a figure of Derrida emerges spontaneously, a person who deconstructs himself finally enjoys life (but there are also hints of free nihilism). God's name? Stock market tips? It's just 216 numbers. The filming is so contagious! You can feel the pain of the protagonist.
