This is a film about a dog-catcher called Walter Sparrow who takes a call that leaves him dog bit and late to pick up his wife. He finds a book whilst browsing in a book store which is a murder mystery with numerology that loops constantly around the number 23.
Walter is captivated by the story and soon finds parts of his life that can be associated with the number 23. He soon begins to believe that the book is not a novel at all and is much more.
The title sequence is very fitting i feel to the movie as it is a very eye-pleasing original concept. The entire sequence portrays the members of the team who helped with the film and the title of the film along with real-life events that happened that can be somehow associated with the number 23. It tries to aware the audience of the significance of the number and get the audience thinking about it.
Some of the associations are creepily true but all of them can be rightfully assosiated with the number 23. A good example of an assosiation is the theory that the world is going to end in 2012. They use this theory and relate it to the number 23 by presenting that if '2012' is split up to '20' '1' and '2' then 20+1+2 = 23.
The sequence also involves a lot of blood. This wipes over and moisturises the paper like texture that all the "23" assosiations and producers etc... are printed upon. The blood effect gives us a very clear understanding of what is likely to be involved in the film. It gives the impression there will be violence. This is instantly appealing as the title sequence and the actual plot fit well together and are relative to each other.
I feel this is a very effective title sequence for the film. I find it very eye-pleasing and well made.
