First of all, it is stated that this film has nothing to do with Jordan. This is a suspenseful story triggered by the number 23. Maybe I can add a subtitle to it: Memories of a mentally ill person and a murderer. There are many plots of schizophrenia and mental paranoia in the movie, making the originally suspenseful plot look even more confusing and confusing. Fortunately, the story itself is not esoteric and easy to understand, otherwise it might really be incomprehensible.
Kim Carey’s transformation is no longer crazy and funny. The original exaggerated and joyful face now has a deep and gloomy expression. In the movie, he played a too heavy and complicated role. This kind of challenge should not be a problem for him, who has been working hard in the film industry for many years. I mean that Kim Carey is competent in acting. The only question is whether this star, who has been regarded as a comedian, can be accepted by the public in a serious and terrifying suspense film. In my opinion, it's not bad. The serious Kim Carey is also cool, and he is well-versed in the complex psychology of the characters. It's just that I feel that if he wants to achieve the same achievements in other types of films as he did in comedies, it will be difficult, at least from the point of view of this film, he has to work harder. There is nothing bad about acting in comedy, and of course there is nothing bad about transition, as long as there is sincerity.
The film tells a story about digital paranoia. The content is bizarre. In fact, art comes from life. The digital paranoia in our lives may be even more bizarre and absurd than in the film.
I remember I saw in a TV program not long ago that a person was going to auction a mobile phone number. Just because the last few digits of the number happened to be the opening date of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he asked for 200,000 yuan. It is said that many people called consult. It was the news of the day that I saw in that program. It is said that the so-called auspicious numbers such as 6 and 8 are no longer available in the business halls of China Unicom and China Mobile. I bought it at a high price, and the more 6, 8 the higher the price. As for those numbers with 4 sold at the original price, few people care about it. I still remember one time when I went to an office building to work. I was nervous and stared at the electronic display screen to count the floors when I was in the elevator. I didn’t expect that the display screen would directly display the 14th floor just after the 12th floor. I thought it was because I was too nervous, and I was dazzled, but after a closer inspection, it turned out that there was no 13 floors. The original 13 floors were directly designated as 14 floors. The number 13 was omitted. I heard that this is a country that believes in Christianity. Regional habits.
What should I say? I don't know if this world is crazy or I am crazy.
What is the difference between our paranoia about numbers and the protagonist in the movie? The license plate and phone number should be 6 or 8, and the number of floors deliberately did not have 13 floors. Our beliefs can be so fragile that they can't even withstand the attack of a single number. What do we believe, do we believe that religion can bring us spiritual comfort and support, or do we believe that religion may bring us bad luck? We always seem to be full of doubts about the beautiful things described in religion, but we always believe in evil, misfortune, and things that may bring bad luck, or we would rather believe that they are not. In fact, if you are interested, you will find that numbers like 4 and 13 are also very old auspicious numbers, but we are ignorant and love to make mistakes.
In fact, a number is just a number, a mark of counting. As for the other meanings attached to it, it is just a manifestation of our far-fetched attachment, mediocrity, and the psychological disturbance of looking for spiritual hints. This should be a sickness, a collective disease, but we don't know it.
I really think Mr. Lu Xun is really great. He actually saw such an insight into the nature of human beings. What a wonderful creation of Ah Q's spirit. Ah Q has been creating for decades, and we still enjoy the spirit of Ah Q. These figures The auspicious game on the Internet is just one example. These are nothing more than deformed self-deception and spiritual victory methods! Let's just call it the spirit of digital Ah Q!
