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...?
导演功力不够 把主题拍得小而浅 但是镜头处理得很好 所以不至于给一颗星（只要忍住前一半的无聊还是能坚持看完的
威尼斯主竞赛的片子，看片名以为是讲赌博的，实际却是自我救赎的故事…剧情设计有亮点，但整体讲的很平淡，爱情线更是有点莫名，好在Oscar Isaac是真的帅…
Oscar Isaac最近出任主演有一种很不好的趋势，大家一起感慨他有多帅还有称赞围绕他打造的服化道有多华丽成为了出演电影差不多唯一值得讨论的东西。当然不是说他是个充分性意义上的坏演员，但事情变成这样就挺尴尬的。赌牌本身是个非常容易被overvalued的题材（作为半个统计系学生这个题材我印象里唯一跟靠谱沾边的是《决胜21点》…），这片子里甚至连牵强附会都很勉强单纯就拿出来凑数的，除了主演其他人也可有可无宛如路人，想说的东西导演拍了那么多年都要说烂了，结果我们就回到了只能干夸一下男主角造型真不错的境地
走性冷淡风的导演不该找伊萨克的，他紧实的屁股和壮硕的大腿让整个画面都非常不性冷淡
又是一部故作玄虚的电影，没有什么精彩刺激的“算牌”对决，各种政治化的比喻让人无聊
如果中间我没有因为疲惫而睡过去，我可能会更喜欢
故事吧还凑合，但是剧本和拍摄手法力度不够（假神游到假大空），感觉始终没建立起扑克和心理创伤之间的联系（让人确切地感到了打扑克是毫无观赏性的游戏）即使有奥斯卡伊萨克……或许该说幸亏有奥斯卡伊萨克这片才值得看看

4.5 / 第一部施拉德。粗俗如我只在本片 get 到了伊萨克的肉体，所以，肉欲爆棚却演这么个冷淡阴沉的角色太违和了。而且凡梦境就用 VR 镜头展现，莫不是施拉德拜了毕赣为师？戴上眼镜才能身临其境罢了。
做闷了我一般很难看进去

蛮有意思的一个局.【住在酒店还要各种把家具的腿部绑上床单有点意思。】
7.5 施拉德赋予的独特气质，使其不同于其他美国电影。
ᐈ一个好的牌手能看穿你的想法，无论你是戴上耳塞，穿连帽衫，带上棒球帽，眼镜还是面具，都不能阻挡他看穿你的视线
勉强算更现代风格的布列松 但文本主题和影像始终不搭
摄影有布列松那味，但是一看到男主屁股那么大就又……不是那味。长镜头监狱那段，真的挺帅。
施拉德的写作是70年代classical Hollywood式的，始终有一个hook吸引着看下去，所以完全不会觉得闷。他知道什么该交代什么可以省略，每一场戏又会与前面或后面的某场戏产生呼应，整部片是一个有机的整体，很好看。但是施拉德的拍法是反类型的，这两种风格的混合形成了一套他独特的美学。
比《第一歸正會》難看不少。尋求救贖的男人總喜歡在一塵不染的房間裡頭寫字自省哦！可真把WSOP拍得毫無競技性可言。那個USA真是牌技高超的白男沙雕，演員搭配和表演調度看得怪尷尬的。這片子各方面都人工且直白，賭場裝潢不洋氣，但電影不能這麼不講究的吧。
很意外很惊喜，空间的推拉固定，对观众的勾引挑衅，氛围的营造，都非常喜欢。尤其喜欢一种理科生一样的固定逻辑式的场景镜头，奥斯卡伊萨克也很有魅力。至于剧情，不需要为什么，感受就好。
又是个恩怨情仇的故事，终归是仇占了上风、主宰了生活，爱则一如既往的坚强——在电影里。
