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.
5，美式主旋律质感，威尔史密斯唯一演的好的地方大概是那种中年男人的讨厌感。
齁咸冲奥糖水片，为了人物复杂性作出什么玩意都不奇怪，真是懒得评价，不过还是要加一星，因为这片的基底讲的是Tennis，是女子Tennis，是敢于第一个对邪恶说出FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER的运动，是现实生活中大小威廉姆斯真表达过支持令人敬佩的发声，相信这些才是宝贵和令人动容的。
美国黑人网球版《摔跤吧！爸爸》，而且剧情的选择还是在巨大成功的前夜，可也正是因为珠玉在前，如果不是有Will Smith头番坐镇，背靠威廉姆斯姐妹这对世界女子网坛的顶级巨星，这种叠了族裔、性别和底层逆袭成功学种种buff俗套的体育家庭励志充满了颁奖季的精致算计。Richard的偏执既为了改变家庭的处境，另一方面也是苦心孤诣为了改变女儿的人生轨迹，其虎爸严父的人设如果没有现实背书，简直让人怀疑他强大的自信像是穿越回来的，但世上虎爸满地都是，只有真正成功的才能以幸存者偏差去塑造这种凤毛麟角的幸运儿，逆推所谓的“计划”是多么英明神武，但是其实多数人是没有这个命的。
威尔史密斯演技的确很好，将一个父亲表现得十分立体，让观众对他又爱又恨，国王理查德只是一个家的国王，实际上他还是一个父亲。
觉得男主的教育方式真的不咋地，之所以还能成功，完全是因为大小威天赋太逆天了。换句话说，要是大小威没有成功，那他只是一个自以为是的控制狂父亲。
极其平淡地讲述了理查德如何训练大小威成为网球巨星的“虎爸”故事但却算不上上层。体育故事里面缺少了应该有的激情和紧张，育儿经方面又变成了简单的爽片缺少了对“虎爸”更为深层的探讨，家庭情景里面又夹杂了太多的宣言性对白，显得略微寡淡。极其优秀的题材和故事，但是呈现出来的效果却异常平庸，缺少了应有的作者视角或者更为创新的角度引起跟多的思考也丢失了威廉姆斯这个角色本应该有的复杂性......
是在这个合适的年纪对史皇来说也合适的电影，值得一个最佳男主的提名，我还是觉得当幸福来敲门没拿奥斯卡是真的遗憾。
interesting angle..but sports are all about the winning spirit, passion, obsession..just not feeling the excitement..the father/coach figure, if only it did a decent job as Dangal. such an inspiring journey, this movie seems barely do justice to their stories. the Williams sister endorsed it so maybe it's a love letter to their parents not for fans
虽然威尔·史密斯在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上的表现不怎么样，但由他饰演的理查德·威廉姆斯的确是一位很出色的家长。
真就是为了得奖而去的，在我看来，充满了各种正确，但主人翁成功了，电影也成功了，有什么好说的？
他是一位平凡的父亲，也是一位伟大的“国王”！
从题材和故事上来说，看过《摔跤吧！爸爸》之后，对本片就没什么感觉了
这就是所谓的美国梦的实现，我们应该善于发现米国社会核心竞争力之所在。
大威7个大满贯冠军，小威23个大满贯冠军，女子网球届的迈克尔·乔丹！
虽然拍的很好看，但总感觉打网球的大女儿似乎缺少灵魂，过早成熟的她懂得照顾父亲的感情，肩负起了第一位女黑人职业网球运动员的责任，但影片却从来没有展现她对于网球的感情以及对于父亲的质疑。反而是这个老妈塑造的实在是太好了
电影永远达不到纪录片的程度，这种片子看完了解一下故事背景就得了，同样的叙述方式，同样的故事结构的电影实在太多了。奥斯卡越来越走下坡路了。
大威已经够委屈了，而小威委屈的更加彻底，明明我最强，结果连个故事线都分不到
感動得一蹋糊塗！讓我醬完全不懂網球的人都迷上大小威廉了！！理查是偉大的，偉大在他是真的啥都知道。他一家子牛逼烘烘的像是自大得無比自信，他卻自己明白謙虛的重要；彷彿一切真在他掌握中，他的計畫書是神的計畫書。無論再有天賦我們還是要努力呀諸君！！
断断续续才把这部史皇封帝之作补完。能理解影片的创作意图，但呈现出的感觉很拧巴。大威小威的故事本就是体育界传奇，无论是她们出身贫民，还是妹妹顶着姐姐名声的压力成为超越性别的网坛巨星，都是极其精彩的奋斗史。但影片却把重心放在了种族与家人上，虽迎合政治正确，却缩小了故事的格局。同时把视角聚焦于她们的父亲，仿佛父亲才是姐妹成功的原因，实在有失偏颇。尤其是作为一部传记片，出现在片名的主角却在影片的高潮部分只能做旁观者，实在没有说服力。尽管影片美化了父亲的性格与经历，但演绎出的角色仍然不讨喜，果然成功了这就叫志向远大，要完蛋了只能沦为笑话，也就是威尔•史密斯演，换一个演员也撑不住。史皇演了这么多年戏了，犒劳他一个奥斯卡影帝也是应得的，只是这一巴掌着实没想到。
#94th Oscar#最佳男主角 中规中矩 体育 传记都是陪衬 家庭 种族才是重点
