Him and his infinity

Judging from the perspective of a biographical film, this film seems a bit thin. Ramanujan's unique way of thinking and his great achievements in the history of mathematics have not been fully demonstrated-this is understandable, the film was not originally made for Mathematicians or science historians see it, but Ramanujan, as a mathematician with a unique charm, is different from other meteors that flash by in the history of science. These are the two parts that should be emphasized.

However, in the eyes of a viewer who has deep feelings for Ramanujan and Hardy, this film is certainly not a mediocre work. In fact, it shows quite well the most important people and things in Ramanujan's life.

Ramanujan and Hardy Hardy are definitely the most important people in Ramanujan's life. He is Bole, a pair of discerning eyes discovered Ramanujan-no, I should not say "discover", Ramanujan's talent is too dazzling, it should be said "valuation" and "appreciation", it was he who took pains to pull Manujan brought him to England and created good conditions for him. It was he who pushed Ramanujan in front of everyone and provided him with an opportunity to show it. It was he who made Ramanujan a true mathematician. He was in armor, with one arm protecting Ramanujan. In the not so simple Trinity Academy, he helped Ramanujan find a quiet desk. In the face of endless doubts and censures, he stepped forward to protect Ramanujan. It was he who made Ramanujan. Become a true mathematician. He is Yan Shi, and Ramanujan wakes up with a pointer. A theory without rigorous argument is absolutely untenable, and a mathematician who relies too much on intuition is absolutely unable to make it. The significance of formal scientific training to Ramanujan lies not only in systematic and comprehensive knowledge-he can usually infer it by himself, but also in the scientific spirit and way of thinking. Hardy's strict requirements for proof are definitely a great help to Ramanujan, who made Ramanujan a true mathematician.

Ramanujan and mathematics No scientist who has achieved great achievements is not exceptionally talented, but there are probably not many with such extraordinary talents. Such sharp and precise "intuition" is amazing even in the mathematics world where geniuses are born in large numbers. In Littlewood's words, "Every positive integer is a good friend of Ramanujan." He is so familiar with them and understands each other thoroughly, so many concise and powerful theories seem to be just like he is playing with them. Ramanujan feels that he has been "outputting" and outputting quickly and regardless of cost, as if he was fulfilling a mission and fulfilling a promise. What is driving him? It is mathematics, or it is his strong love for mathematics.

The movie also portrays some other characters and shows some other events. The tragedy of Ramanujan's wife is not an isolated case. It is normal for the Indian social environment in the early 20th century to produce such a family situation. However, some specific events, such as a walk in the woods, and her mother-in-law withholding almost all of her letters, whether it is reasonable reasoning or the artistic method of the film, it is not known. Littlewood is a very cute image in the movie, and he is an interesting partner to discover and protect Ramanujan's talent with Hardy. The terrible living conditions and tuberculosis during the war killed Ramanujan. He didn't seem to know how to cherish himself, and he kept working hard. I think, rather than saying that tuberculosis took his life, it is rather that the huge exhaustion made him die of exhaustion. As long as differences exist, discrimination is difficult to eliminate. The discrimination of Indian mathematicians against the low-educated people almost buried Ramanujan, and the discrimination against Indians by the proud British professors almost killed Ramanujan's academic career. Fortunately, he finally crossed these obstacles. The belief movie is called The Man Who Know Infinity, which translates as "the one who knows no bounds." It clearly refers to Ramanujan's great achievements in the field of infinite series, which implies his strong spiritual power and unique recognition of the world. Know, the original name and the translated name are very charming. In addition, the rhythm of the film is relaxed, the pictures are exquisite and delicate, the lines are concise and powerful, and the soundtrack is just right. From the perspective of the film itself, it is indeed a masterpiece.
