A sharp, witty, mind-expanding and exuberant foray into the world of logic with computer scientist Professor Dave Cliff. Following in the footsteps of the award-winning 'The Joy of Stats' and its sequel, 'Tails You Win - The Science of Chance', this film takes viewers on a new rollercoaster ride through philosophy, maths, science and technology- all of which, under the bonnet, run on logic.
Wielding the same wit and wisdom, animation and gleeful nerdery as its predecessors, this film journeys from Aristotle to Alice in Wonderland, sci-fi to supercomputers to tell the fascinating story of the quest for certainty and the fundamentals of sound reasoning itself.
Dave Cliff, professor of computer science and engineering at Bristol University, is no abstract theoretician. 15 years ago he combined logic and a bit of maths to write one of the first computer programs to outperform humans at trading stocks and shares. Giving away the software for free, he says, was not his most logical move...
With the help of 25 seven-year-olds, Professor Cliff creates, for the first time ever, a computer made entirely of children, running on nothing but logic. We also meet the world's brainiest whizz-kids, competing at the International Olympiad of Informatics in Brisbane, Australia.
'The Joy of Logic' also hails logic's all-time heroes: George Boole who moved logic beyond philosophy to mathematics; Bertrand Russell, who took 360+ pages but heroically proved that 1 + 1 = 2; Kurt Godel, who brought logic to its knees by demonstrating that some truths are unprovable; and Alan Turing, who, with what Cliff calls an 'almost exquisite paradox', was inspired by this huge setback to logic to conceive the computer.
Ultimately, the film asks, can humans really stay ahead? Could today's generation of logical computing machines be smarter than us? What does that tell us about our own brains, and just how 'logical' we really are...?
＃不是数字，是一个个鲜活的生命啊
那一句What if一旦落在自己身上
COVID-19
只有某地喜欢宏大叙事，灾难面前只有弱小又顽强的个体
我的小杀手请多拍点这种类型的片子。（话说真是我今年看的第一步和疫情有关剧情片呢
正对镜头的拷问传承了四百下，浪潮的精神。我们的平凡故事，无人书写。
剧情本身而言拍得很现实，让人很难受。
本片对个体在公共突发事件中的努力和无力感刻画的十分真实，一个普通人尽全力去挽救另一个普通人的生命，天亮以后就是下班回家而已，没有高光时刻没有英雄光环，这才是存在于我们身边的日常。
看过的第一部讲述新冠疫情的电影，没有什么高大上的人物形象，只有平凡人的恐惧无助和茫然，最后女主的质问才是全片最精彩之处。
看到的第一部关于疫情题材的电影，生命不论身处何时何地，人性不论寄躯何时何地，都值得尊重而不应被故意遗忘和彩妆涂抹。
是我看过这么多电影中，虚焦用得最多也是最好的一部。中间那个长镜头，也看得人揪心。
同样是讲述新冠疫情的电影，这和XX医生带给我的震撼和喜好程度完全是天差地别。这部小制作虽然小，但依然保留了最基本的电影感以及优秀的演员表演。朱迪·科默那段救助打电话的长镜头足以刻进我的年度难忘瞬间中。本片用以小见大的方式来剖析当时的英国在面对新冠疫情时的社会生活方方面面。仅仅是通过一辆救护车，几通电话就能营造出当时的混乱和对底层人民的抛弃与谎言，可见这部电影的控诉意味有多强，更不必提最后朱迪坐在车里以打破第四面墙的方式发出的灵魂拷问了。
啾啾怼脸镜头仍然hold住！女神牛逼！
他们拍他们的问题，我们拍我们的成功案例，事实就是如此我就不明白这都有人能扯到中国医生那去
新冠下的护理机构，疫情初期的风口浪尖。为了感情线的发展，结尾稍微有点戏剧化了。
社会的弊病会在一次不可控的冲击下被迫丑陋地不得体地暴露出来。
电影多少有点被利用的感觉 在这部片子里面 用来发声 也算是电影的功能之一吧 只是过于直白了点。
立意不錯 抓住了很多點 長鏡頭的調度和女主演技不賴
镜头打一开始就很压抑，节奏有种刻意的凌乱。叙事的时间线很简单，推进很快，高潮在一瞬间爆发，结尾像是一种呐喊。五星是因为电影讲出了一种真实。总有阳光照不到的地方，但同样需要被人看到。
啾啾怼脸镜头仍然hold住！女神牛逼！
