Ramanujan was such a super genius. Deserves much more mainstream recognition.
his formulas were junk and gibberish. He couldn't prove 99% of them.
@@bexultanassanov1930 Bollocks. Source please.
@@bexultanassanov1930 I bet ur smarter than him
He was actually only good at math and always strungle with any other subjects.
@@bexultanassanov1930 he is a mathmatician, he doesn't need to.
Imagine getting yelled at for completing a math problem.
He’s skin color isn’t white
@@osmanzubeir9701 Yup...Elitist Superiority knows no color bounds
Guys can you tell me whats the tittle of the movie? Plsssss
@@khimeater8185 the man who knew infinity
Nothing but jealousy. Young man is smarter than that old guy is and could ever be.
3rd One was Srinivas Ramanujan.. movie name- The man who knew Infinity... GOOGLE his name and get surprised.
All that and he Died at the age of 32
A fucking street shitter detected
You seem to admire intelligence. You might be a clever person
Also interesting is that they talk about him in Good Will Hunting. His story is supposed to be why the professor wants to help Matt Damon's character.
@@thepunishe52 You seem depressed or angry on something. Life must be really hard for u emotionally, hang in there everything gonna be fine.
I never understood the angry, jealous teacher stereotype in movies. Its like all teachers are the same in the movies. As a teacher who has been studying history since I was 3 years old I would shake my students hand and buy them a 12 pack of soda of their choice if they outsmarted me in history
because teachers back then rely on books as the absolute. they never look at a student as someone that can be smarter than the teacher otherwise why would they need to be taught. but teaching is like a current, some boats float faster in the current than other boats. its not who is smarter or dumber... its simply a boat moving on a current as its meant to move at the pace of its design
but... im dumb so dont mind me i just talk alot. im sorry
95% of my teachers in highschool, and 80% of my professors in college acted just like that or far worse. Even though I was encouraged by several mentors to go for a PhD, i stopped at a BA, as I was fed up with all the games and B.S.
If you're referencing the one where he tells at the guy for doing the prrof then here's some explanation: the student is from india and he is a mth genius. After writing advanced theories to another math teacher at cambridge, he is accepted into it. However every other cambridge teacher there is racist towards him and he is highly discriminated against, hence the scene
Gregory Underwood Then you just lack common sense. For some reason I don’t believe you could’ve gotten a PhD and you are just trying to get internet points. If you really could have gone for one you probably would have in reality.
To the people saying Will Hunting should be in the video, the title says “Real People”.
William sidis
Wait, will isn't real!!!? WTF!
He was real. It’s based on Will Sukon.
@@ericfonseca9551 Who Will Sukon the is?
@Alexander Leblanc it was a fonetic joke you smartass.
Even though it was a good pick from the movie the man who knew infinity . And there were other great scenes as well .
But I personally would have picked the scene where the two professors [ Hardy and one of his colleague friend (I forgot his name)] were reading the book written by Ramanujan and commented , "This would take a lifetime" (since he had written ALOT of formulas , theorems etc )
And then Ramanujan takes out ANOTHER book from his bag and says "Maybe Two" .
That scene really blew me away.
0:45 Pursuit of Happiness
4:05 The Man Who Knew Infinity
5:55 The Big Short
10:05 A Beautiful Mind
Hum thank you
the first one is The Social Network
It says it in the vid
You’re Goated for this comment lol I was blanking hard asf on the will smith clip cause I kept thinking of Kid Cudi and being like “yeah that’s not it”
I’m sorry but will smith even in character is no genius.
Calling Zuckerberg a genius because he got a question right in class is a bit of a stretch
If you wanna get technical, it's a "genius character moment", so they're not exactly calling him smart BECAUSE of that moment, but rather, it was a moment in which he displayed his smartness. It's the same thing as saying "he's not rich BECAUSE he bought that car, but rather, being rich allowed him to buy the car."
With that said, you call it a stretch, but in fact your comment is a massive downplay of what they actually showed. It wasn't just "a question right in class", it was a difficult question in an advanced computer science class at Harvard University that many students gave up on, and it was a breeze for Zuckerberg. I personally still wouldn't call him a genius (mostly because alot of his success comes from a lot of the help his parents and private tutors have him when he was young), but he is definitely very smart
Lol he was coding and created product when he was less than 12, even before going to college and dropping he was smart enough to create multiple programs/product for his father's dental something. he was coding & programming genius even before facebook, even in harvard there were hardly any who can compete him in programming during his first year.
Good thing thats not what happened. Nice strawman fallacy though.
@@notricky1680 Not just had a genius moment O.o, but Not is right tho
The best part about that scene is the Professor hasn't actually given enough information to answer. Zuckerberg has given the classroom some missing information, and NOW the Professor can ask some other questions that are meaningful, based on this information.
The number of each bit given is arbitrary but important for asking other questions, like how big is the physical address space?
God damn the line “if this is a way to get the blonde on your own, you can go too hell” I lost it😂😂😂😂😂
My father picked up the Rubik’s cube when they first came out and did it immediately. He was really smart. I couldn’t do it until many years later after learning the algorithms.
Kim GFY you wang!
@@kim98677 Why are you so butthurt there are thousands of people who can do 4x4 & even 32x32 rubik's cubes in really short time frames just search it in youtube
@@kim98677 3X3 Rubik's cube world record is 3.36 seconds if you didn't know
@@kim98677 so i'd believe a man could've done it when it first came out in a day or two or even a week, Sam didn't specify a time frame
Nagato2k the chances are almost 0. Also comparing a 4 by 4 to a 3 by 3 shows what you know about solving a cube
Goosebumps when he says " With a breakthrough of this magnitude"
Oh man, please provide more videos like this ! Your fans want more!
I WILL WATCH ALL OF THESE MOVIES AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME
i hate how they never clearly show what he or she is doing but always to try to show him to be a genius, like it's not even that hard, just let us see some of the working out
watch BBC's sherlock. they show and have him explain his thinking. enough episodes of that and john watson AND the audience both agree that his inductive reasoning is actually quite simple. yes, it's inductive reasoning most of the time. if you look up the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning, sherlock often uses inductive.
it's a lot easier to teach an actor to fake doing something than teaching them how to do it. Especially if you can't see their hands
Because the point is that these characters are supposed to see what nobody else does. When their intellect is incomprehensible, it instills a sense of wonder in your average viewer.
@@DavidLinn Qi.
@@DavidLinn Sherlock LITERALLY says "from that I deduce" in every single book. Are you sure you understand the difference? He studies the clues, in fact his magnifying glass is iconic, and says things like "once I have eliminated the impossible", and solves the crime. Deductive.
Top 5 YT clips you have to listen to through a loudspeaker.
WHY? DID? YOU? PUT? THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS? IM NOT CRYING! YOURE CRYING!
Srinivas ramanujan is a seriously underrated wonder of math. Also this is the 1000th comment which is statistically significant to the truth of this statement
The big short is such an amazing film
What's it about and what actually happened in the scene we see?
@@z3alio He saw the the housing market bubble that lead to the great recession of 2008 as early as 2005. Everyone thought he was crazy to believe that the housing market could collapse. It's a great movie!
z3alio Everything @Kitty Kat said is right, also everyone got mad because he was practically investing his clients money and they thought he was going to lose it all but ended up making them lots of money and himself. There is much more to it than that and there are more perspectives through out the movie but it is a great film that I would highly recommend
The Big Short, Margin Call and the Wizard of lies are three movies that remind me to never EVER trust Wall Street.
Thank you Beau!!!! Take care❤️
lol last one gave me always goosebumps....
What are 'always goosebumps'?
Tycho I think the moron meant always gave me goosebumps..
fuk english
He made a mistake and you guys are being giant douches about it
Actually I speak like 4 languages lol, these English lovers don't even know single letter of other languages...(whole point of language is just tool of communication u don't have to fuk and fell in love with it , at least not me)...
I had a teacher in nursing school who only intentionally worked harder to make my learning more difficult when it was becoming apparent that I was fully grasping everything she was teaching.
SO NOSTALGIC!!!! epiccc posttttt
John Nash didn’t need a blonde so much as a certain German materialist to reach his epiphany...(that and the ability to have out of body math montage experiences).
Duuuad out of body* edit this comment again, please
RED PILL SOCIETY Thank you kindly.
What does Marx have to do w/ this? If your point is that Nash "disproved" Smith and thus Marx was low key right you need to reconsider. Most economists, starting w/ Smith, hold that competition serves the common good b/c suppliers compete w/ each other to secure finite profits in a finite market. This serves the common good b/c when suppliers' strategy involves competition rather than collusion their profit strategy requires they constantly reduce their costs so they may reduce their prices w/out becoming unprofitable. In a market where nothing, expect price, differentiates the goods offered by different suppliers, buyers will strongly prefer the cheapest goods. Thus, the supplier w/ the lowest costs will offer the lowest price, and end up being the most profitable; what they lose in profit margin, they make up in sales volume. Nash simply articulated a mechanism thru which competitors may seek to collude w/ each other, at the EXPENSE of the common good, but this same mechanism also predicts the frequent failure of collusion efforts, which is to the BENEFIT of the common good (and consistent w/ mainstream economics). Nash's principal finding if I recall was that collusion becomes logistically impractical in many situations b/c collusion is prisoner's dilemma, especially when there are many "prisoners." The prisoner's dilemma partially explains why supply cartels are often unstable under market conditions.
In this case, collusion b/w Nash and his friends to fix the game is socially optimal in a utilitarian sense, b/c avoiding competition is good for the men and (most of) the women. In real life this kind of collusion is not socially optimal. If the movie's "bar game" were analogous to market bargaining, the conclusions of Smith would be wrong, but it's not, so they aren't.
Juraj Donadieu I simply meant that Marx reconsidered Smith's emphasis on personal ambition decades earlier-and while you're right that, for Nash, the 'revision' involves a kind of utilitarianism, functioning through the Benthamite greatest happiness principle and hedonic calculus, such a revision was evident in Marx's work-Marx simply realised that a solution to this entire problem was to put need before strength (unlike the monism of pleasure in utilitarianism or the strength/personal gain of Smith).
It was also supposed to be a slightly wry, comic comment but since I have now produced an equally pretentious and (almost as) lengthy riposte, I have really kicked over the pedestal of humorous intention and am currently hanging by the neck in the depths of UA-cam comments that pose as actual discourse.

i hate when movies explain something away with "idk i just do"...once i want someone to say i studied my ass off
DizzyDan Studying your ass off isn’t what makes one unique, anyone can do that. Not everyone can master a subject just based on natural ability. That, my friend, is what’s exceptional.
Hunter Melton I disagree
@@dizzydan1580 Okay then, why have most mathematicians failed to compare to the natural ability of Ramanujan despite him only living to 32 years old. There are people who have probably worked just as hard as him during his life but continued it for another 50 years yet still didn't understand maths in the same way. Not to say that hard work doesn't pay off, but their is often a distinction between good and great, I could train everyday in running and I could at some point do a marathon, I could improve my time, but I'd never be faster than those that have both natural ability as well as hard work.
@@maxdavison914 absolutely true! A well said statement! A believe it or not @DizzyDan , no matter how hard we work and sacrifice from ourselves, still we ain't gonna get to the point that a true natural genius will!
Some people are just natural savants with numbers. There is no “learning”. You just open up gateways on how to solve new problems. It’s literally an aspect majority of humans will never be able to understand. Like people who see color when they listen to music. It’s a gift.
Through 1:10 to about 4 minutes in. Will in pursuit of happyness is going over how he was a doctor in the navy and had to make tough choice under strict eyes. Then by the end, he takes a sigh of relief when the job is done and everyone is looking at him... it may look different but it feels the same
He said he worked for a doctor but was put in positions were he had to do medical procedures by himself, he was explaining how he works well under pressure
3.) RAMANUJAN From the MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY (DEV PATEL)
Loved it. I want more
The pursuit of happiness breaks my heart
Funny how much liberty they took with Mark Zuckerberg's story.
they got the fucking haircut way wrong though
Funny how much liberty he took with our information
lol. True. Most of that not with ill intent though. The founder of a small startup that's growing can't easily foresee what will become an issue when the company becomes bigger.
Many of their mistakes would be small mistakes, if the company was small.
@jeffrey lmaooooo
@@jeffreybratton6186 it was never YOUR information
Love the 'Raging bull' poster on the cab
Ahhh, nothing is better than finding Mastodon in some random movie clip.
So good 👍
Why wasn't name of ' The man who knew infinity' mentioned on the video screen....?????
srinivasa ramanujan
It's in the description box
Is that a good movie? Sounds good
@@jerichobeach2967 it's a movie about one of India's best mathematician Srinivasan Ramanujan.
@@saifmehdi178 Pretty sure he’s the best mathematician in the history of the world
a great mind once said that imagination is far superior to any intellect... and another might suggest casting stones in forms of buoyancy
Is this from somewhere, like another film or something. Why is there for likes for this?
The first quote is a famous Einstein quote. But yeah, that's probably a quote that quoted Einstein in a movie
@@severusrogue259 Well the first one is pretty well known, was not really unfamiliar to me, it was the second part that I never have heard before.
so yea, what does it even mean, as there are several ways you can understand the statement, like are you claiming momentum can be a form of buoyancy, or is the sentence just incorrectly formed for the intention of what the person who said it was trying to get across?
So yea, it is an interesting sentence, but more so why is it i getting to many likes, people are either reacting to the first part, and ignoring the second, or they are likely reacting to the second, as the first is so well known to almost be cliche...?
It's probably meant to illustrate that intellect is superior to too great an imagination after all.
Thanks for this video. I can't believe there are 3 films on this list I haven't seen... I'm 31...
A beautiful Mind is out of this world good!
12:30 look how far the chair flies back. he didn't even push it
he kicked it with his left leg
That's what happens when a gladiator become a nerd
Good job
Quite the day to be reminded of John Nash's research into crowd manipulations.
There's a couple good ones I amedeus showing his genius as it pertained to music.
I had to grab my Rubik’s cube as soon as that Pursuit of Happyness scene started.
John Nash one of the best mathematicians. The movie a Beautiful mind is a masterpiece.
As an F1 fan I am saying this, you missed Nikki Lauda from the movie Rush
Beautiful music during cab ride- Pursuit of Happyness.
I cried like a little girl when i first watched the pursuit of happyness..
Eddie Redmayne play Stephen Hawking
why no name for 3rd guy ? he is amazing and the tutors reaction was vile.
I'm learning HTML, pretty easy stuff. I learned also great part of english to be able to understand the guy that was explaining it. I've been learning since yesterday. I'm tired. I feel amazing, I look for focusing music and eventually somehow arrive here. Nice.
Imagine looking at a beautiful woman and making a genius idea on the spot
Teachers who murdered his bank account. You ever see someone with a gift like that you become their best friend
i did that once in the theoretical physics class. the teacher asked me to have some vodka with him after class--instead of putting me down. i never forget it after all these years. so self assured and comfortable he was with bursts of intellect. (never mind i got drunk on the fist glass. teens do that, u know)
2:50 fun fact, Will Smith still doesnt know how to solve the rubxcube irl.
He does
Methos he literally went on interviews during this time just to solve rubriks cubes
No clip from Snowden? - Based on the American whistleblower named Edward Snowden. Great movie if you haven’t watched it
in what circles would snowden be considered a genius?
Solving a rubix cube does not mean you are a genius. It just means you're good at following directions.
Will Smith's character in the Pursuit of Happyness was, from what I read, an exaggeration on the real life guy and by no means was he a genius.
Its always an exaggeration
@@jeremydyar7566 From what I remember, the exaggerations are pretty huge. From what I remember reading, the dude had a crippling drug addiction, cheated on his wife excessively, and was abusive. The Rubics Cube scene was also not real, which they used in this video to give credence that he's a "Genius". The dude also sold his company, putting hundreds out of work, to make millions.
“I read them.”
“You read them?”
“Yas.” Definitely says “yas”
"The housing market is propped up on these bad loans".
this video did justice to the geniuses
alan turing from The Imitation Game should've been in this
8:00 Henry Ford II and Ken Miles chatting in The Big Short? I don't believe they ever talked in Ford V Ferrari.
national security when they gave the guy the super heat absorbing metal for testing and he told them "Thats why you have to take this and get out of my shop, this is the type of thing people get killed over"
Fyi he lived.
Alright UA-cam... I watched it.
one like for ramanujan
Nash - only works if team work together and agree to settle for less than the main prize. Unfortunately, greed always destroys the equation.
STEPHEN HAWKING
-EDDIE REDMAYNE
Did anyone notice at 2:57 the taxi that drives past has De Niro and Raging Bull written on it? Made me double check if the film was directed by Martin Scorsese...
Raging Bull came out in 1980, but it was a 1981 the news cast about the Rubik's cube
If your smart the world can be a crueel place hold strong!
Good thing he gave up the cube before he got slapped
Ramanujan, my inspiration🥰😊
Even the video makers know S.Ramanujan doesn't need any kind of Intro or Info.
And, He is the only one.😏
A Beautiful Mind is one of my favorite films when I was growing up. My parents would watch it and I'd just have fragments of the movie until I was older. It's weird watching a movie that you've seen so many times as a kid lol
did that guy even pay his portion of the cab fare
No but it's a plot point, Will Smith has to do a runner later because he can't afford it
Watch the whole movie b4 u comment some dumb shit like this again
He did.. eventually
R3xClutch nah people were kind and helpful and answered.
Are u saying he couldn’t even solve 1 side of a rubix cube
In my school everyone starting from grade 4 can solve the Cube which is kinda cool. I learned how to solve it (all sides) just in a few hours when I was grade 5
NO way this dude is solving F2L without algos
something got into my eyes ahh i cant.. poor Ramanujan
6:38. I’m watching this video in public on low volume and I’m looking around wondering who is jamming out to Mastodon.
I had a lot of my students that were coding back in the early 1990s on there commodore 64 and Adam computers. These kids were 10 years old and they were writing code then. and that was before you had modern programming languages which make things a lot easier. Modern compilers do a lot of the work for you. Design is the hard part! Well written code is an art form. You can get the job done with spaghetti code, but you run into all sorts of problems later because it's garbage to start with. Well thought out and well written code takes some skill to do, but probably more it just takes a lot more experience.
there arnt enough movies like this
Diego Piedmont aren’t*
You forgot to label the movie for the scene at 4:24 - what movie is that?
The Man Who Knew Infinity
@@TonySeptim thanks!
@@TonySeptim Oh its about Ramanujan, neat! Will watch. Thanks
Wtf, I don't have pretty girls like that in my CS classes.
the rubix cube scene was hilarious
9:25 you read them 😂
In the big short, Dr. Burry wanted to know which mortgages were in each of those bonds. Is that even publicly available information?
Is there a reason why Srinivasa Ramanujan is not credited for "The Man Who Knew Infinity"?
Just pointing out. Out off the 5 you had to not mention the name of the movie about an Indian guy played by a brown man. Odd!
" The man who knew infinity"- srinivasa ramanujan. The guy whose theories are helping scientist understand blackhole
Definitely a racism
And that is important how? You know who he is. The fact that he is brown makes no difference rather that he was not mentioned on this list that doesn't affect you one way or the other. Oh, and nice try, trying to race bait people in to the geopolitical climate and start a frenzy over something so miniscule as a color. Yes a very intelligent man, and a promising glimmer of hope to the mind, and even as I am typing this I am slowly realizing that you haven't read passed a certain line and have decided that I am a racist, bigot, Pepsi can, Bologna sandwich, window pane, Einstein brain fart, cocoa butter toe jam.
Etha e vanam
The Man Who Knew Infinity is mentioned in the Description box. Chill bruh, it's an honest mistake.
@@reviewersreview8483 😂😂😂
Not sure completing a rubik's cube could be considered genius. If so, put me on that level as I completed it shortly after I got one back in the 80s.
The story of Alan Turing it's missing. There is a movie Imitation Game about him.
I knew I Remember taht guy from "ford v ferrari" from somewhere
you're an idiot.
Solving 3x3: wow you a genius
The cubers be like:am i a joke to you
It was when the Rubik's cube was first introduced and being put in stores, no wonder bro it was a novelty. there were no cubers yet, think about it
Adam Smith and his theories were not as simplistic as the last scene implies (and the real John Nash likely knew this), but for a mainstream Hollywood movie, that's the way it had to be conveyed.
Without some context, this is a out of context video
The rubics cube scene didn’t actually happen
Yea, it was a 16x16 cube
The Asian guy in the front in The Social Network is the guy from Maze Runner and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Imagine using a 16 bit system, we switched to a 64 bit operating system from at 32 bit system 10 ish years ago.
Not based on a true story but finding Forrester is a great genius movie. If you have not seen it its about a reclusive author who befriends a young gifted student and at the end of the film the author comes out of hiding to stand up for the student who is being unfairly treated because of his colour and class.
If I knew mastodon was in the big short I would have watched it😂
It’s so weird that people back then didn’t know how to solve a rubric cube
the real smart ppl are those who actually solved it. Fact: you dont know how to solve a rubriks cube
wat movie is tje 3rd scene
"The man who knew infinity"... Based on the life of S. Ramanujam.
