"It is correct to say that mathematics contains not only truth, but also extraordinary beauty", "Knowing Boundless" shows the story of the great genius mathematician, in addition to highlighting the legend and spirit of the characters, it also conveys a cognition: Mathematics is art. Mathematicians study mathematics for the sake of mathematics itself, which is the nature of art: from the inner sense of the world as a mission. Just like Ramanujan regarded equations as gods and beliefs, so mathematics can show infinite charm in itself in people's minds, and has the ability to form a world of its own, which to a certain extent is consistent with the formula of Plato's ideal country. The concepts echo each other, and we often regard the ideal theory as an explanation of the essence of art; on the other hand, the ruthless and objective nature of truth makes people have to treat it with respect, just as Hardy said : We are human beings, what right do we have to deny Ramanujan - this is similar to the existence of the sublime sense of beauty, and we generally think that beauty is a necessary quality of art. To sum up, this work actually demonstrates the view that "mathematics is art" from the perspective of the existence of mathematics itself in people and people's attitudes toward it outside it. If it is limited to mathematics, the film is not enough. What is even more beautiful is that Hardy said that "there is no evidence to prove what our hearts think". Mathematics can prove the world, but it is not the whole world. The world contains mathematics, and mathematics is part of it. It's just that the world is art, an infinity that needs to be discovered with the human mind. So I may have sublimated the theme of the film a bit off topic: I thought, it was telling us that the world is art. The film illustrates the artistry of the objective world, which needs to be experienced with heart, by expressing what is least like art. The essence of mathematics is art. Further, I feel that the world is art, so everyone who seriously perceives the world like these mathematicians is also an artist. This is the innate right of human beings to pursue beauty, or it is human nature.
