A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
balzac强啊 这部片子讲故事的节奏蛮不错，渐渐引人入胜的感觉 caroline一个完美被害人 哎……
看约翰克利斯朵夫的时候就使劲儿想这个片名，终于翻到了。
三星半吧，开头穷小子和贵族妇人的情史仿佛在看伍迪艾伦，就有种“好了好了我们都知道了你可以move on去搞事业吗”的不耐烦，到了巴黎加入报社后群魔乱舞借的众生群像笑得我拍大腿，这不就是今天某乎某博上带V的节奏大师+红包影评人吗，哪怕是涉水而来的耶稣，到了杠精嘴里也是轻飘飘的一句“你看他都不会游泳”，眼看着他高楼起眼看着他楼塌了。对于巴尔扎克浩瀚如海的原著，电影做减法做得太狠，关键部分却只能靠连篇累牍的原文朗读交代信息，仿佛在电影院看有声书，疲惫不堪。有佳句无佳章吧，导演尽力了，下次不要改编名著了。
法国喜剧电影好像总是离不开“叽叽喳喳”感，像是置身于一家闹哄哄的酒馆中闲言碎语的中心。片子精致而吵闹，和主人公一起“造了一个黄粱梦”，也给“梦醒时的荒唐”留了体面。巴尔扎克这个文本，批判完了所有七七八八的东西，最终还是保留了对美的爱。想起北野武的《阿基里斯与龟》。两部片子合在一起，真的很容易敲碎玻璃心的文艺青年。不过别担心，也别混淆～艺术仍然是艺术，美仍然是美。所以我忍不住想大声疾呼：艺术值得！！！
纸醉金迷，追名逐利，高坛跌落的故事，这样的故事又数不胜数。圈子里的人卷在其中，你方唱罢我登场。吕西安获贵妇青睐，但想平步挤入巴黎上流圈也只是痴人说梦。影片进展了半小时，至此变得有趣，节奏也快了起来。侯爵夫人、小报主编、剧场唱衰者、造星演员、市侩出版商，逐渐登场，几方势力你来我往，搅动着城市的风云。小报盛行的年代，报纸不再开明，而是煽动意见，记者们成了语言的零售商。几句旁白，鞭辟入里。轮转印刷机使发行量倍增，广告商业蒸蒸日上，向读者们兜售他们本不需要的东西，几个镜头足以表现当时的风潮。影片侧写了媒体初兴，野蛮拉拢的时代，却又仿佛直指当下。片尾字幕，幻灭之后，寻找内在力量。
反面版本的Bel ami，Dolan的旁白太好听了，看完又让人相信爱情了呜呜。
a curious sum of nothingness
泛滥的旁白损害了整部片子的气质，导演明显缺乏用影像叙事的能力。巴尔扎克的原著应该更厉害，把整个泡沫社会以及其中异化的人尽数尸解。
很久没有看到过经典文学名著改编的新电影了，改编自法国作家巴尔扎克的同名小说，今年凯撒奖最佳影片，拍得即古典优雅又现代意识流，非常值得观看！
好看！虽然导演用了太多旁白有偷懒之嫌，但巴尔扎克的作品改编成电影可太优秀了！男演员也很厉害！
纷繁乱世，最难的不是看清局势，而是弄不明白自我
人生本绵长，点点欢喜多是伤。
今年最正统的西部片。从故事到画面，从对白到配乐，无比复古，无比传统，在这个科恩兄弟和昆汀用各种现代手法让西部片不那么西部的时代，在被政治正确绑架的好莱坞剧本陷入低能死循环的时代，《老亨利》让人重新回到约翰韦恩和伊斯特伍德纵横好莱坞时那个传奇的西部岁月。全片不仅没有黑人，甚至没有女主，剧本如主角般隐忍而克制，但该出手时绝不拖泥带水。荒凉、冷寂、写实却不沉闷、传奇而不夸张，让人重新踏上《原野奇侠》与《不可饶恕》中那块充满生死无常、人性狡诈、传说往事、宿命传承的剽悍西部大陆。
敏感自傲的年轻诗人，经历了情爱经历了世俗，靠才气成功又因为阶级失败，幻灭就在短短一瞬。
4.5 人间喜剧改编的电影非常对胃口，影像化的后小说文本节奏改得很好
巴尔扎克看穿了欲望的本质啊……一切的龌龊和堕落几百年没变过。有了巴尔扎克的文本，电影已经成功一半了
一个诗人之死：我曾经是好人，拥有纯粹的内心。文学照见未来，现实中又何尝不是为了“财源滚滚”四个字而把文字当作工具呢，戏谑。
没看过原著，但电影宛如一部带画面的有声小说，只听旁白就能知道故事惹。
