a bit self-righteous video

I watched this movie in the "History of Mathematics" class. As a mathematics student, I was quite optimistic about this movie, but it disappointed me very much. Maybe the evaluation was relatively low, because the psychological gap is a bit big. .
In the early stage of the movie, Goldbach’s conjecture was used to express the high IQ of the people involved, but in the later puzzle solving process, they seemed very naive. These questions are all puzzles from elementary school or junior high school, and these questions can be difficult to live with It's unbelievable that these high-IQ people have been doing this for so long. If the director is to make it better understood by ordinary audiences, it should not be used to attract attention with such a sacred problem in the mathematical world as Goldbach's conjecture.
The above paragraph is purely my own dissatisfaction with a certain part of the film. The next paragraph will be a little bit more normal.
Except for some content at the beginning, the main structure of the film is almost exactly the same as that of the famous Japanese cartoon "Detective Conan". There is a house in the middle of the lake, there is no place to escape, and one of the remaining people is the murderer, and the suspects accuse each other. , In the end, the murderer jumped out, and the others found a solution to the crisis at the last minute, escaped, and the murderer died inside. Of course there is only one main character missing.
Maybe it's a bit extreme, I think watching this movie is not as good as watching Detective Conan.

Fermat's Room quotes

  • Policeman: Don't you know that 28% of people who die on the roads travel like you, without their safety belt?

    Fermat: So all the rest, the other 72%, die with their belt on.

  • Pascal: Do you remember if he was a murderer?

    Galois: Why would he be?

    Pascal: Come on! Because, of the five of us who are here, he's the only one with a cell. -In Spanish, "móvil" can mean both "mobile phone" and "motive"...
