So is 23 a blessing or a curse? The number, what does it mean?

The Number 23 is about a man who comes across a book that seems to be based on his life. Within the book are many hidden messages, but they all lead to one thing. The number 23. He becomes obsessed with this book, but the closer he gets to solving its mystery, the more troubling it becomes to himself and his family.

Jim Carrey playing a serious role? Yea, he pulled it off though. Death and paranoia are central themes in this film. Throughout the movie, the number 23 is displayed everywhere. We are constantly given things that relate to the 23 enigma. The theme of near insanity was constant in the movie, as we watch the protagonist tear himself apart. The movie definitely falls under the psychological genre that I love so much. The movie also featured some subtle humor Actually, you might say the movie was more of a comedy than a thriller, depending on how you look at things (Suicide girl’s scene…priceless). I loved the scenes from the movie, including the text written on the characters’ arms and on the walls. The scenes from the book were also nice. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a psychological thriller with some humor to go with it.

You’re looking for 23, so you’re finding it.
