Continuing with the reality check regarding the alphanumeric clues in the movie, there are no applicable alphanumeric combinations corresponding to 'B1329' or 'B5160' in, 1) Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, Beyond Good and Evil, Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, The Gay Science, The Birth of Tragedy, The Anti-Christ, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and Human, All-Too-Human; 2) Martin Heidegger's Being and Time; 3) Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy; 4) Aristotle's De Anima and Metaphysics; 5) Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Philosophy of History; 6) Ovid's The Metamorphoses; 7) Sartre's Being and Nothingness; and, 8) Bergson's Time and Free Will.

There are also no matching combinations in Saint Augustine's The City of God or The Trinity, but of course these two works, as well as any of the works listed above, may contain material applicable to our movie, even if nothing in their section or chapter numbering matches up with the alphanumeric clues in the movie.
