Add another ending

Another ending prepared in the dvd is:

Lao Jin went to jail and served 2 years in prison. He wrote to his son in prison, saying that he would behave well and would be released one month earlier. Saying that standing on the side of the street and finally avoiding the rushing car, did not die, is responsible for himself and his family... (probably that means)

After reading the letter, the son walked to the kitchen sink, turned on the tap, and lifted it up. On the sleeves, I saw numbers densely written on his arms... He picked up the towel and started washing, saying that it was just a number...

Finish.

This ending seems to be more terrifying than the original ending. The tragedy does not continue in the next generation, which seems to imply that the story ends here.

The whole film is like Lao Jin's films in recent years, full of satisfaction of his personal performance desire, haha, it's a pity that the plot is thin, so normal.

The Number 23 quotes

    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?
