The scale of ideas explored in Knowing's storyline can be both exciting and baffling for viewers - especially regarding what its plot is really about.
Nicolas Cage's Knowing movie was panned by most critics and viewers, primarily because of its baffling themes and seemingly over-the-top ending, but a closer look at what it is truly about suggests that it is far better than it is given credit for. Opening with an intriguing hook, Knowing sets the stage for its overarching mysteries by introducing a young girl who scribbles random numbers when asked to draw pictures of the future to put into a time capsule.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With what follows, the Knowing movie leaps to fifty years in the future, where MIT professor John Koestler gets his hands on the coded letter. As he races against time to unravel the mysteries behind the letter, he learns that it holds the key to humanity's future and eventual doom. On paper, Knowing's premise sounds no more generic than the regular fare of science fiction movies that come and go year after year.
Yet, moments later, he finds himself drinking away the sorrows of random events from his past. The determinism vs. randomness conflict haunts him again when he uses Earth's ideal distance from the Sun as a metaphor to explain how every event could either be a consequence of pre-determined fate or just pure randomness.
Nicholas Cage's Knowing Suggests Things Happen For A Reason The skeptic in Koestler still holds him back when a fellow professor convinces him that he is only deriving meaning out of random numbers and that most numbers on the note mean nothing. However, John's faith gets restored when even the meaningless numbers start making sense as the precise coordinates of future disasters.
To nail down its themes surrounding determinism, Knowing also seems to portray how an alien race had foreseen Earth's future and was trying to rescue a selected few moments before disaster struck the planet. As Nicolas Cage's character comes to terms with his pre-determined reality, he realizes that for his son to survive, he must let him leave with the aliens.
