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...?
故乡是离不开啊，贝尔法斯特残留着一些如同《1984》的控制感。在这样的动荡之下，buddy像所有小男孩一样发誓要娶那个喜欢的女孩。家人宽容待人处事，这样的家庭怎么会有解决不了的困难呢。
合着你们自己也知道爱尔兰口音会被人笑死，想不通到底是怎么做到每句话都用同一个声调说出来的…插曲和配乐非常不错。
#Oscar2022# 这部充满乡愁的电影今天看正合适。导演的私人记忆，故事性相对比较弱一些；摄影有几分功力，不觉得造作，构图反而引起极度舒适，截图甚至可以做摄影的学习素材；移民的主题在情感上引起强烈共鸣，但这一点因人而异，也许评分因此更为主观。
又是一部导演的自传吧，能在琐碎杂事中把人物都塑造的很丰满，这是功力，镜头语言也很丰富，值得一看。
镜头感超级好的一部黑白片，关于北爱尔兰的近代故事。
幸也不幸世界是不会如数学题一样只有一个标准答案的
期待很久的片子，略失望！既不是罗马，也不是美丽人生，很肤浅的个人表达，杂糅了很多有趣的元素都只浮于表面！音乐填塞的很满，不过爱尔兰人唱歌真是好听啊
哈哈哈哈为什么我一点都没想到罗马，因为太差了吗？我觉得还行呀，轻轻松松呗。
肯尼思·布拉纳《贝尔法斯特》2021
Shedding tears in the theatre. Delicate, quiet, floating, and touching. Textbook-level shots and larger-than-life themes. Brilliant end and soundtracks.
精美，reference High Noon的街道和配乐还挺妙的。
一座城市出一个导演讲一个故事，用彩色多好。北爱尔兰问题在兴趣点上，处在中间的人好难，不过只涉及表面。口音就是可爱。
喜欢papa，还有他那段话：记得你是贝尔法斯特15区的，在这所有人都爱你，走的多远变成什么样也不要忘记，这大概就是故乡和家人的治愈。配乐也很棒，喜欢爷爷奶奶，爸爸妈妈之间的感情，虽然妈妈有点飘浮，但真是个美女。
虽然很一般，但是看到最后我还是有点莫名其妙的感动。
约翰.福特的电影常常使用门框式构图，这部电影频频出现窗框式构图，黑白摄影很美甚至让人觉得摄影师已经陶醉在了自己的摄影中。有人说像罗马但是感觉上也有点博格丹诺维奇的最后一场电影的味道，当然不管是和罗马比还是和最后一场电影比，这部都只能算是一个小品了。片中片出现了很多经典电影，双虎屠龙，正午，对话中也提到了很多经典，罗宾七侠，消失的地平线，等等。塞伦.希德演的祖父相当好，躺在棺材里的画面一定是在致敬双虎屠龙。PS“我们爱尔兰人不怕颠沛流离，要不然全世界就不会有那么多酒吧了，哈哈哈。”
私人回忆+儿童视角+黑白影像，好像也变成了新套路。
Jamie演技肉眼可见的增长，提名男配值得的~

属于那种没有多大野心，只是轻巧的讲述一场特定历史背景下的无奈离乡的小片。没有过度渲染悲伤和离别，欢乐生活还是占主调。片尾的音乐和歌声终于对了味儿，巴士离开街角后还是会让人陷入失落。
不及《八月》也不像《罗马》，反正哪一部都比它好看，属实是拍了个寂寞。
