Apart from poor arrangement and acting, the idea and phylosophy of the movie was quite interesting. I myself faced this kind of obsession several time, and I find a piece of myself watching the it. What's more? The movie wanna send a message to all of you out there that people's mind is not as strong as you think, so just take everything easy, and enjoy every moment of your life with your loved ones.

It intrigued me massively. All the while i was watching i was thinking of everything to do with the number twenty three, which scares me now because i am surrounded by it. A number or not it is still eery. Every time i paused the movie, unknowingly the numbers added up to twenty three. I looked at the clock at 11:12 and 12:11 Which also scared me. It had slot 5 in my dvd player, 2+3=5 It was the 23rd movie in my movie case, and my phone rang 5 times during the movie. My birthddya adds up to 23 as does my name. My pets name is also ned.

Of coarse the basis of the agruement against 23 is that with any number you can find all sorts of interesting patterns so obviously you have to start from the ground up -- meaning that you ahve to pick a number and stick with it and not start with 52, find no pattern, do a goodle search for 48, again find no pattern, then finally find 3 or 4 weird facts about 26 and say that you proved their is nothing odd about 23. I will be interested to find what someone can show. And obviously the number must be above 23 or at least double digits (without the same number twice such as 11, 22, 33, ect.). This is because in life your more likely to find individual numbers digits then double digits.

I'm not agreeing that the number has any sort of power but I do think that it has made some sort of imp[act on the world and maybe thats the power.

Umm... and just to throw out some stories on why I thought the number was kinda freaky before the movie came out.. 23 became my favorite number when I was 5( or atleast thats as far back as i can remember) 2+3=5, My dog ran away when I was reading about numerology and I reached a part about 23 and when i got home after finding my dog the time on the clock read 8:50 which equals 13 and right next to the clock my thermostat read 73, 8+5+7+3= 23, my best friends birthday happens to be 2/3, his jersey number is 23, and i didnt know this till we became friends. so i thought that was pretty interesting :P well..

Ancient Israel had a Sanhedrin in every city that had 23 judges in it.

Fiction

In Star Wars AA 23 was the number of the ceil Princess Leia was imprisoned it.
