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...?
有点牵强的剧情设定，最后方中信的话算是升华了主题，只要相信光明，就一定会被照亮！
好烂的故事。低智的悬疑部分，羸弱的法庭辩白部分，僵硬的"天降神兵"部分，尴尬的自白正义部分……莫名其妙，浪费时间。
-冲着智叔最后一部电影
游艇上的对手戏抢眼有张力。有钱有势才能互相制衡，这不过是一场政治与经济的博弈。
18/10/2021 @ 高先電影院。唔似tvb，不過似hktv果期既電視劇囉。成個劇本就靠一班老戲骨同金句吸引觀眾。所以最後果個轉折位即係話觀眾聽要打破高牆就只能靠出古惑等牆入面狗咬狗？
香港电影现在都这么敷衍么。。。剧情神跳跃。。
最后是一位有权有势的打败了另一位有权有势的，太残酷了……
廖启智和曾江相继离开……
2021.11.13观于北市。很久没看到那么多TVB聚在一起了，智叔人狠话不多，台词不用多。
7/10.
故事套路，转折过于轻易，雷律师的小惊喜是为数不多的亮点。
TVB的叙事感，不过能再看一次廖叔同曾爷一面，点都加两星喇
现在的香港电影能讲明白一个故事就已经很好了，而且看来看去，还是20年前这些的这些演员才有看点。故事的最后争议战胜邪恶，不过也还是要靠金钱，也还是要靠一些under table的手段，正义才能战胜邪恶。很残酷，但是很现实。
硬伤还是太多
编剧撑不起来的一部电影，硬是让演员给撑起来了。当看到最后游艇上智叔和曾江对飙戏的那一段的时候，忽然想到斯人均已逝，忍不住的有点感伤。香港真的不缺好演员，只是现在还找得到好的故事么？还等得到么？

几位演员演得很好 故事情节也有的看 就是最后的逻辑太次了 官司赢就是因为一方富豪想把另一方扳倒 关键证据还是靠收买得到的 靠钱
其实节奏还可以，但整体看下来，就是中规中矩的一部作品。
比想象要好，就是最后有种神之手破案的感觉…
想通过加厚主角的背景故事和正能量的法律理念来丰富整个故事 但实际上依然摆拍和形式主义严重 案件的推理和审理像小儿科一样 人物的塑造也极为平面单一化 更别提整个推理过程极为勉强且毫无逻辑 可惜了智叔的最后一句银幕作品
