Professor Lambeau is a textbook example for how to introduce a character. His elegant but sloppy clothing style, the body language, the way of talking which is at the same time eloquent and bored, his fixation on awards, publicity and big names and his strange display of modesty - which is in fact the exact opposite - in which he mixes his humble name with Nobel laureates and Fields medal winners, just enough to remind you that he is one of them, the superficial friendliness where his students are good as an audience but any personal contact is shifted to the assistant except for a handful of lucky chosen ones that he deems worthy of his attention, a man too much in awe of himself to recognize that the full Salieri treatment he is about to receive is already lingering in the air ... all this is laid out in a few minutes of screen time. Immaculate writing, and top-notch acting by Mr Skarsgard.

I’m from NY, right on the Massachusetts border, and there’s no Bostonian dialect where I’m from. But that “fuck you” is solely responsible for me having said it that way for the last 20+ years to where I can’t say it any other way… and I’ve tried to stop doing it, especially given the confusion it causes to my friends here in Colorado who all know I’m not from Boston… but I’m in waaay too deep at this point. However, the fact remains, there’s no better sounding pronunciation of those words, nor any other way that rolls off the tongue to such an insanely satisfying degree. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my years of life I have had very many jobs, from building sites, fish Dock to Working my way up to University as a middle age man. I am retired now, but there was always one common theme running throughout my life. Extraordinary things can come from the most ordinary of people, mostly they are not formally educated. Another common thread is that they are normally ignored and marginalised.
Strange, isn't it? I'm a chemical engineer, I get paid to optimise. But do you really think I do that by myself? I simply talk to the operators, user their information, think of a solution, ask the operators what they think, with the feedback I optimise some more, etc. So, what do I do: I listen and combine information. Let's be real: how could I possibly know more of those machines than the operators who work with them every day? Just because I have a university degree, really? Always assume someone knows better, combine all the information, scrutinise it, test it, only then you find the best solutions.
@@aspbun Not at all. The movie gives all of the reasons why he is the way he is and does what he does. He has this phenomenal gift, but he knows that the world will force him to apply that gift in a very specific, possibly destructive way, and that’s not what HE wants.

@@vinceventresca6763 It is no such gift.There are situations in which we "agree to disagree" but this is not even remotely the case, it is simply nothing to debate.
The funniest part about this movie is the notion that there has ever been a math class at a university with that many students. We’re constantly relegated to custodial closets for our classes of 12-22 students. And that’s before 25-50% dropout after the first exam.
The fact this video has been up for 6-days almost has a million views. I am sure there are other copies of this same scene out there on TH-cam, or close to it, and it still gets almost a million views in a week. It shows how many people still love this film almost 30 years later.

Its aged just fine -- it was supposed to be inappropriate in the movie too. All going into the Professor's cavalier self satisfied arrogance at the beginning of the film. They didn't have long to establish that character before he meets Will, and did an amazing job of making you both like and dislike him in only a handful of scenes.
The Red Jackets are worn by 50 year MIT Alums. The Professor would most likely be in his early 70s. I got to see one of the MIT Professors posting one of the famous math problems on the Stata Center chalkboards . He really enjoyed doing it and told me that it kept him sharp.
I've worked with people at my lowly job who were engineers in another life but had to eat or feed their families. Smart enough to move on to better things, but not necessarily in their field of study. There's always someone smarter, whether you know it about him or her, or not.
This film is a relic of a bygone era of integrity. You know in today's narcissistic social media age someone would try to come forward and take credit even if they didn't do it. Probably multiple people.

ChatGPT and all other LLMs are nothing but stochastic parrots. Anything they can "prove" is only because the answer was fed into their training dataset somewhere.

This movie is great because it shows how most college people look down on the regular folks. In my experiences, non college grads are the brightest and most humble.
It is a very common fallacy that people get when they are taken to something "higher" in society. Be it a having accepted to team captain, as a class president, a student to a school, or a representative of some group. The normal way to think for people who have more narcissistic traits (we all have those) will start to believe and think that they are better than others "behind", or "below" them. The excuses and ideas why they need to be paid more, why they are more talented etc is common, and they adapt very quickly to the status and lifestyle in social hierarchy, and get the idea that they are chosen to lead others, that they really have not. And that attitude can be seen very well in the western politics and like that. Politicians been grown from childhood to become prime ministers and speakers of house and be set to start ruling other people who are not even in their governance.
All movies call for this in one way or the other....Will, our hero, must overcome the obstacles, all of them or at least some of them and perhaps, survive. Ben and Matt got this script right.
Why would they put up a second problem to determine the mystery identity of a student they assumed would reveal themself? Student: "I solved the problem." Teacher: "Great, well because you solved it, we already put another problem on the board to determine who our mystery mathematician is."
Its entirely inappropriate for professors to hit on students. Inside or outside the classroom. I understand they are all adults but it makes my skin crawl.
