A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
挺有意思的舞台剧 没有过于繁复的道具把舞台利用到了极致 和总统那部不同 这部视角主要集中在多辆飞机被迫降的小镇 居民们和乘客一起共渡难关 在这几年的疫情中 去回顾历史上的重大灾难和人渡过难关的勇气也是对当下的一种鼓励
Life goes on. 有的时候就想逃避一切什么都不管了，孤独也是真的
剧场版观影顺序：
911 20周年纪念， 同名百老汇托尼奖音乐剧电影版，诙谐与感动充斥于歌词与音乐中。。。(*￣︶￣)
"We honor what was lost. But we also commemorate what we found." 有趣又感人 真·命运共同体 看完好治愈啊🥰
Idealism of all time.
真是以小见大的好作品！用纽芬兰小岛上的温情和爱来对抗人类历史上最具毁灭性的恶性事件，非常令人感动！对迫降事件后，社区各个层面的反应刻画得也非常还原。考拉唱得真好！
形式太有意思了，音乐剧真的拥有无限张力，安慰生活在2020年以后的我，那首Prayer太震撼了，Me and the sky机长好帅气。
我见识短，我老土，我第一次看百老汇歌剧，我就是被震撼到了，怎么着。
发生在纽芬兰小岛上的暖心故事，真是一群可爱的人。p.s.前有《汉密尔顿》，后有《来自远方》，这样的官方录制麻烦多来点好吗！
20211123——266；荣获托尼奖的一部百老汇音乐剧。为纪念911事件20周年而作，根据真实故事改编。38架飞机迫降加拿大纽芬兰甘德小镇。12位演员，男女各半，在迫降旅客与小镇居民角色间转换，情绪饱满，故事感人。
真实事件改编，十周年的时候当着全村人表演个专场也太感人了吧，美式主旋律的正确用法。演员们一人分饰乘客和岛民，很考验基本功和调度了。
热血沸腾，哽咽多次，无论这个世界有多么糟糕，还有音乐，真是件幸运的事。表白女机长！
太敬业了，一人饰演几个角色还那么好看，瞬间切换，好想现场看一次百老汇的表演！剧情也很好，从小处着手，面对危难人类的团结一致，真的很令人动容！
2022年3月21日 我看完这个官摄的第二天 东航一架从昆明飞往广州的航班在梧州坠机 132名机组成员和乘客身亡 网传有一名乘客因故没有登上这架航班 不知道得知与死亡擦身而过的ta此时此刻是怎样的心情 可能就像911之后 所有人都知道 一切都变了
不论你信奉的是哪个神，不论你的人种国籍与性向，在这个不锁门的小岛上，我们都脱下外表的装饰，回归为相互照拂的人类，回归成关心其他生物的一个普通物种。
看过的第一部电影形式的歌舞剧，911并没在我年少的记忆力留下只字片语，简单被归类为“其他国家”“恐怖袭击”，却从未想过其他连锁事件还有如此影响力。一方舞台，十几演员，多想让世界就此停止旋转。人之所以称为人，人性虽不分国籍，但只有在灾难前才能彰显。
9·11过去了20年
我想在global pandemia面前这部剧的意义无需多言，在这个时间点放出官摄我哭到时代广场都有回声。
人性的光辉时刻。特别在今年奥斯卡这么烂的情况下，期待一下托尼。不过911和双伊、伊拉克战争其实是有因果的。
