I could emphaize with the main character

I am an art student in north east Scotland and a friend suggested i watched the movie. He had a DVD copy. After he gave me a wee introduction to what the movie was about, i was itching to see it.
I could emphaize with the main character (max) as i myself am looking at numbers and patterns in my studio work. For example, looking into shortwave 'number' stations supposedly intended for spies/agents.
It's great fun to see a pattern - you feel as though you are gaining a very small step in unravelling something intriguing.
I loved the film - the angst, the absorbing nature of the work "max" was conducting. I am positive that numbers have an underlying message however vague it might be.
It's art!!
