in fact and there be quiet many german movie which have bring the evidence to establish themselves a classic . in general these movie be dramas or comedy and very often they provide the viewer with historical information of a certain time and area . however and what be often missing be suspense . allhough german television be full of good crime story and thriller this genre be hardly find in german cinema . at least this be one reason why i like this movie so much . 23 allows to enter the mind of a burnt out and intelligent but unloved son and who try to break out of his boring life by rebel against his dominant father and the establishment of the mid 80th . where a his protest use to be more like come out of a group behavior which be base on ideal his intention during the movie change completely and end up in a computer spy environment heavily connect with a continuous downward development of his mental and physical condition . in one sentence represent this movie be one of those that shouldn not end because you want to know more about everything and the whole thing and so deep you will place yourself into the plot and you do not want to leave it . 23 change my life . afterwards and i have another opinion about reality . check it out yourself and i extremely recommend this movie .
