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...?
6.5分。斯科特·德里克森的恐怖片我一直不是很能Get到点，说是只有JS吧氛围铺垫的还不错，业务能力不错。但是说好感觉又有点食之无味。加之这次有别的社会议题的隐喻恐怖桥段就更少，更有点看不下去了……而且隐约感觉这个故事体量感觉撑不起这么长的电影。不过伊桑·霍克的表演看的还是很舒服，至少比在《月光骑士》里当背景板要好。
半真半假，电影故事算是HE，但现实中却十之八九BE。其实是蛮可怕的故事，因为很真实，值得一看，但电影的讲述方式并没有令人惊艳之处，所以三星。
真不错，很巧妙，看完准备看《德州电锯杀人狂》
并不是徒有其表的恐怖片，应该算是心理惊悚片，有些沉闷，大中午吃完午饭看的，中间睡过去了
卖点和strange things一样一样的 希望伊桑霍克今后多演变态
剧情一般吧，不恐怖就是中间有几处jump scare，最后用电话爆头那段有被爽到加分。
我觉得还不错唉，片子特别复古，亮点是，绑架和鬼魂两种要素出现。
剧情很简单，但大小演员演技全部在线，加分不少，作为恐怖片其实还可以更恐怖些
3.5星。主题还是成长，在通灵电话的帮助下，小男孩从被霸凌者变为了硬刚绑架犯的强者。兄妹情真可爱。警察并没有什么卵用。
始终认为恐怖片导演的自我修养应该是：要么相信科学，要么相信鬼神。两种信仰都不肯撒手叫人格分裂。很希望跟导演和编剧当面对质，你们到底信什么？糊弄观众是不行的，两头都不讨好。如果定义为高智商犯罪，显然信科学的观众不会买“托梦”的账：警察办案叫小女孩躺床上多做梦就可以，门牌号都可以梦得一清二楚，再搜罗线索太多余；如果鬼魂可以教小男孩打败掳童狂魔，用“黑色电话”以及加一些“密室逃脱”这种逻辑推理向情节同样显得毫无必要，鬼魂跟精神变态斗法，有点像“奥特曼大战哥斯拉”，是不同次元鬼扯的黑色喜剧，信鬼怪的人肯定不信鬼怪居然斗不过“麻瓜”。两套房子两种信仰，一套用来认认真真虐童，另一套用来招魂，很难不让人翻白眼。但感情线发展得很好，父亲不争气，两个孩子相依为命，最后的大团圆显得很治愈，三颗星都给兄妹大团圆。
一个简单到甚至有点稍显单薄的故事。小男孩在地下室收到的各路超自然提醒，倒不如看作是内心的对话和不同程度的觉醒，就是要慢慢学会保护自己。
编剧估计是看《鬼妈妈》里那段找的灵感吧，逝去的亡魂合力帮助主角，听起来确实还不错，但能稍微用点心吗？你以为拍小鬼当家啊？伊桑霍克就硬在楼上睡着等男主挖陷阱neng死他是吧？
不至于那么低，一个酗酒家暴的懦弱父亲。两个勇敢的孩子，经历绑架后，他们找到了自信，真的保护了自己。但是中间一些突如其来的吓人真的没啥必要哈哈哈哈哈。
竟然是我近期看的最佳影片，节奏好，情节不套路，紧张感来自于男孩视角和未知的电话，情节和细节都能围绕电话展开，还可以通过交流脑补情节。交叉剪辑营造的紧张感让我想起了久违的经典惊悚片。很推荐！
演员们的演技都太差，然后设定，逻辑一塌糊涂
就冲超可爱讨喜的小萝莉给高分一点不为过阿喂！！！
设定和概念都很棒，最后的反杀也很爽，但还是不够精巧，有些部分甚至有点中二
虽然套路，但是整体剧情很抓人。最后的反击好爽。兄妹齐心，其利断金。没想到Ethan Hawke已经演变到表演不让看脸了！
Blum House新片头不错。复古感几乎没有，故事也讲不清楚，剧本不行，镜头语言更烂，割裂感极强。伊桑·霍克声音很出戏……有几个jump scare还挺吓人。小男主梅森·泰晤士未来可期。
《打死大反派》之《灵界电话指导》，小孩们拉个腾讯会议的话，男主是不是能更早逃出来？
