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...?
（二星半与三星之间）
看一半赶紧关了，能把这么好的题材拍得这么烂也是导演的本事
三年，头发一点没变就离谱，纸条不留也是完全不是一个船长应该有的资质
Cineplex. International Village. 看预告以为是个小人物电影，坐了两小时好奇故事怎么结束后才知道是个传记片。Charity founding?????? 重点在宣传？
结构失调了，前面1/3讲述在冰原上冒险，后面都是俩人在小屋里幻想，不过我还是比较喜欢看末世题材的电影
2022.5.*北极探险为了国家领土，困在北极，最终被救
故事开头设定给的期待值过高，中间后面就平平并且转折特别硬……父亲和两个发小太好了，独领风骚女主角的客串还是有惊喜的。女主角演员瘦好多啊！但是看她胳膊皮好松……不是说减肥瘦下来皮不会松嘛……
鉴于是真人真事多加一星，印象最深刻的是对于狗存在的描述，残忍又无奈，故事讲的还行。
演员很好，皇后的弟弟这次是个勇敢的冒险家。后半部的幻觉，让人挺揪心的，好在一切重回轨道，今天坐在那里看这段故事，给恐怕难以体会千分之一、万分之一他们直面的那几百天的真实感受。世界，就是在一个又一个探险家的努力下，不断拓宽整个人类的视野。感谢他们的存在。
感觉本来可以是个三星起步的素材，但拍散了。主角的故事线和表演都没有真的拧出劲，几个配角也非常一般。
这样的探险精神中国人身上太难有，民族性格就是委曲求全，安身保命
竟然很好看…37岁的青少年，没有奇幻色彩。
看到泰温公爵不愿意出钱去救儿子，我不怀好意滴笑了。中规中矩的北极故事，剧情一般表演一般，心疼那些狗狗，人类雄心勇气的牺牲品。
有一处令人匪夷所思的情节不知道是真的还是为了给电影凑字数。总而言之匪夷所思。
人类探索地球陆地边界的历程是艰辛而又伟大的，面对自然需要勇气，也需要运气，谁都不知道冰冻与掌声哪个先一步到来。
千里冰封万里雪，孤独美丽的格陵兰。雪橇，狗狗（狗肉）和两个玩命男……
浅薄又好笑，和十几年的美式校园喜剧一样，这也算是文艺复兴吧。
拳击手斯图尔特因受伤而结束了他的职业生涯。因为爱情，信奉了上帝，并从一场死亡车祸幸存后，他决定把握生命第二次机会，立志做一名牧师的故事。
这个超级治愈好感动好暖啊。先缓缓，再写，看的很愉悦
This life,no matter how long it lasts, is a momentary affliction preparing us for eternal glory. We shouldn’t pray for an easy life, but the strength to endure a difficult one. Because the experience of suffering is the fullest expression of God’s love. It’s a chance to be closer to Christ.
