June Diane Raphael: 我在电影《23号》中发现了许多与数字23相关的巧合,例如我的名字、生日和角色名字的数字加和都与23有关。这让我开始思考数字23背后是否隐藏着某种神秘的含义。 此外,通过将主持人名字中的字母转换成数字并相加,再除以名字个数,结果也是23。这更加印证了数字23的神秘性,也让我对电影中反复出现的数字23感到好奇。 Paul Scheer: 电影《23号》讲述了主角沃尔特·斯帕罗发现一本名为《23号》的书后,陷入23数字谜团的故事。电影开头,吉姆·凯瑞的角色就像在扮演《王牌大贱谍》中的角色,与动物对话。许多历史事件和自然现象都与数字23存在关联,例如泰坦尼克号沉没日期、广岛原子弹投放时间和玛雅预言的世界末日。 电影中反复出现简单的数学计算,并将数字赋值给各种事物,例如颜色和名字。这让人感觉电影试图通过数字23来构建一个神秘的阴谋论。 我多年来一直对数字23着迷,甚至将我的制作公司命名为JC23。数字23在许多方面都存在,例如人类性细胞的染色体数量、地球轴线的倾斜角度以及一些乐队的作品。 与现在流行的阴谋论相比,《23号》的阴谋论显得不那么荒谬。电影结尾让人感觉精神错乱,让人无法判断主角的精神状态还是数字23的真实存在。电影暗示数字23是一个具有杀伤力的数字,它让主角沃尔特·斯帕罗陷入疯狂。

Shownotes Transcript

This week's Matinee, Paul, June, and Jason break down the 2007 Jim Carrey thriller The Number 23. They discuss all the bonkers names—from Topsy Kretts to Fingerling to Sirius Leary—the protagonist who hates dogs, Walter Sparrow’s sanity, Bud Court’s crazy room, the son’s childish mug gift, Danny Huston’s villainous vibe, and Chekhov’s Saxophone. Plus, they ask “At the beginning is Jim Carrey basically playing Ace Ventura?” And Paul reveals his theory that maybe Walter Sparrow’s dog bite gave him rabies. Is Paul right? Crack the code. (Originally released 2/23/23, coincidence?)
