      pompous Cambridge puppies

      What makes me most emotional in Knowing Boundless is the contradiction between the characters of the two protagonists. Empathy is obtained by the same way of feeling. It is useless to rely on imagination. Does Marnujan rely on willpower? Losing a wife (misunderstanding), being bullied, being beaten with love by a professor whom you respect and have always loved and believed in? I really can't imagine it just relying on willpower and his beloved formula to make it to the end! By the way, he...

      Ramanujan - an unearthly genius

      Ramanujan is one of my most admired people and it was a great privilege to see a biographical film of him. It’s a pity that this film can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In terms of feeling, it’s a bit like watching “The Theory of Everything”, but it doesn’t fully show the characters’ images. Ramanujan is a real genius in human history, why can’t it be filmed? Be more plump, don't follow the rules.

      And after reading it, I feel that Cambridge killed Ramanujan. First, he did not...

      wailing to be fed

      1. It's already a point in the soundtrack routine, Indian stories need to add Indian folk tunes to the soundtrack... especially when it flashes back to the Indian part. In all respects, such a choice is very reasonable and appropriate, but I still can't help but not *roll eyes* again.
      2. After all, this is a very well-organized biography of a serious person. I want to read a biography of an unruly serious person. (I haven't read the Saint Laurent biography yet!)
      3. There is nothing to...

      Sense and Sensibility

      First of all, I would like to express my personal opinion. I like to watch such biographical films, especially those describing mathematicians, physicists, beautiful minds, measuring the earth, and one about Einstein. I forgot his name, so I wrote this kind of video. The movie reviews are a little bit subjective.

             British filmmaking is different from the old beauty. The control of emotions is very restrained, even a little repressed. There is only one place for emotional...

      Knowing no bounds

      From a movie point of view, it is quite satisfactory, the plot arrangement is a little bit missing the point, the emotional drama is too heavy, but it is not enough to show how Ramanujan is constantly exploring the hard work in the field of mathematics. It is necessary to take both the lyrical line and the academic line, which creates a contradiction. In order to create an appeal, it seems that the creation process of the theorem is deliberately viewed from Ramanujan's standpoint,...

      Ramanujan was also a homeworker, but he was doing the questions from Cambridge University, so the floor was higher than the ceiling of the homeworker who only did the Soviet input exercise set. . . The reason why the question sea tactics succeeded is that it is difficult to compile new questions, and compiling competition questions also requires Romanian infusion tube input order. ....

      5 is more like a movie describing hardy. The friendship and manoeuvre between the two are still weak, and the most emotional point is that Ramanujan came up with a large stack of proof materials. The core of what the writers want to say is that math is beautiful, which is novel to those who don't know it, but once you take it as a given, the whole film is boring. There is also a war, lack of a more specific event-driven, is the result. Good pictures and...

    Movie plot

    Ramanujan ( Dev Patel ) , born in Tanjore District, India , showed mathematics ability when he was a child, but was not well educated due to poor family background. In 1904, he won a scholarship to study at Burgonham University, but failed to graduate due to partial subjects. After 1907, he tried hard to make a living, but he still studied mathematics by himself. In 1912, he published a paper "Some Properties of Bernoulli Numbers" in...

    Evaluation action

    In all fairness, the quality of "The Man Who Knew Infinity" is only modest, but it still allows the audience to watch it with relish. In fact, just a few simple and curious thoughts are enough to guide the mathematics layman audience to marvel at Ramanujan, the protagonist of the film step by step. This is probably the charm of the subject matter itself. The film has been portraying this kind of inner world that is almost psychic with...

    Movie quotes

    • G.H. Hardy: There are no proofs nor underlying laws that can determine the outcome of matters of the heart. Of that I'm sure.

    • S. Ramanujan: There are patterns in everything. The color in light, the reflections in water... in math, these patterns reveal themselves in the most incredible form. It's quite beautiful.

    • S. Ramanujan: Don't you see? An equation has no meaning to me... unless it expresses a thought of God.
