Went to watch the movie “Knowing” with my family yesterday. For me, the movie is not bad at all. But for those of you who are Nicholas Cage fans, better be prepared at the end of the movie. You’ll know why after you finish watching the movie.

The movie started in Lexington, Massachusetts during 1959, where a competition is held among the students of a new elementary school to celebrate its opening. The winning plan, from student Lucinda Embry (Lara Robinson), a seemingly mental disorder girl, is to bury a time capsule containing the students’ drawings of the future to be opened 50 years later in 2009. She is prevented from finishing her image, which is actually a series of seemingly random numbers, and goes missing during the ceremony. Her teacher later finds her in a gym closet, frantically scratching the remaining numbers into the door. Fifty years later, the time capsule is opened and the pictures are handed down to the new generation of students.

The story started when Caleb (Chandler Canterbury), the son of a professor named John Koestler (Nicholas Cage), receives Lucinda’s envelope. Initially dismissing them as random numbers, John notices the random number sequence and his further research leads John to realise the numbers are a list that contains the dates and death tolls of every major disaster, natural and man made, that has happened over the past 50 years, with three that have not occurred yet. When a commercial plane crash kills 81, the legitimacy of the list of numbers is confirmed and leading John to believe that Lucinda had an ability to see the future. Go watch the movie. It’s quite nice (for my opinion…)
