The truth with find you.
I started this film about a year ago and didn't get more that about 10 minutes into it before deciding it wasn't for me.
I watched it properly a few days ago and was totally blown away.
The beauty of this film is that try as you might you will automatically start finding the number 23 in everything as soon as you have finished the viewing, and it will stay with you for a long time.
Jim Carrey in his first non-comic role ( for me) was amazing to watch and really filled the screen with his presence. I think he is an amazing actor.
The film centres around fate and chance and what happens when the 2 things collide. Walter (Carrey) is in a happy marriage to his wife and muddles by at his job as animal controller. One evening on the way to a party, his wife finds a book called 'The Number 23' in the second-hand shop that appears to have been produced by hand. On impulse she buys it for Walter and so sets off a series of events that question everyone's sanity.
It is scary actually to see how many famous events have happened that all relate to 23 ( either the equal to or the variation of) i.e. Kennedy's Assassination, Shakespeare's birth and death, Two planes hit the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001: 9+11+2+0+0+1 = 23 etc. You really can find it in many things.
An amazing film. See it now!
