The male protagonist is Hobbit Frodo in The Lord of the Rings, the supporting actor is a very familiar old man actor, and the other actors are unknown. As a result, the film has a Spanish director, an American protagonist, a British supporting role, and a British scene, briefly globalizing on the screen.
I have watched a lot of Spanish movies recently, which are surprisingly good, such as "Pan's Labyrinth" and "The Orphanage of Horrors". Compared with the British and French movies in Europa, Spanish movies are a little bit closer to the United States, not pretentious or not. Contrived, it is much closer to the audience than the dark humor of Britain and the self-admiration of France.
The same is true for this film, which is half-reasoning and half-detecting. An American international student, in order to join the famous philosopher in Oxford, did everything possible, even for accommodation, he chose to rent at the professor's old friend's house. It's a pity that the professor has long been without students. In order to get the professor's attention, he challenges an authority in his public speech, and here comes what I personally think is the highlight of the film.
Protagonist: Everything in nature is logical and has a mathematical beauty, even small snowflakes.
Professor: Oh, is it? Then please explain the beauty of cancer.
Look, entertainment films are not that simple anymore.
Challenging authority is usually a miserable end. In addition, the professor in this film is obviously not an expert who has gained a false reputation for wandering in China. As soon as the protagonist is in his early years, he is mercilessly killed by the professor on the spot. ... attacking the child's shield with the spear of the child.
It's just that the next development took a turn, and the professor's old friend, the landlord of the protagonist, was murdered. Immediately afterwards, a murder case chases the two men in an openly provocative manner, challenging their intelligence. So, in a strange way, the two became partners in pursuit of the murderer.
Okay, spoiler ends here. As far as the movie itself is concerned, it is better than most of the suspense and reasoning movies on the market, and it also has a certain knowledge connotation, involving logic, mathematics, philosophy, and various aspects of history. The proof of Fermat's theorem is mentioned again, although it is fictional, But the identity of the fictitious problem-solver will come as a surprise. The details are also meticulous, and all the supporting roles have unexpected performance characteristics, which are close to life. It should be a good movie, but it seems that there is something missing. Beauty is beautiful, but it is still not touching enough.
If you like suspenseful reasoning movies, I recommend watching it.
PS: In 1995, Fermat's Last Theorem was finally proved by mathematician Wills. He was born in Cambridge, England in 1953, and later served as a professor at Princeton University in the United States.
PS2: The professor was so stupid that he gave him a blank napkin, and even more stupid, he folded it into a triangle. The most stupid part, after being discovered, he didn't expect to fold the napkin into a triangle.
