What happens when Hollywood gets science completely wrong, and we don’t even notice? Which moments in our favourite films feel convincing… but fall apart the second you look a little closer? In this science-focused Watch & Talk, we’ll dive into scenes from Project Hail Mary and other iconic films, putting their physics, chemistry, and logic under the microscope. What did they get wildly wrong? What almost made sense? And why do these moments still feel so believable?
Hosted by David, an award-winning architect with deep expertise in physics and chemistry, this session is all about curiosity, not criticism. These are films he genuinely loves, which makes the conversation even more interesting: how do great stories bend reality without breaking immersion? Together, we’ll dissect the science behind the spectacle, separate fact from fiction, and explore what filmmakers prioritise when accuracy and storytelling collide. Whether you’re a science enthusiast or just love a good movie, this will be a smart, playful, and eye-opening discussion that sharpens the way you watch films forever.
So let's sit back in comfy chairs with good friends, watch scenes from awesome movies and let's nerd out hard as we explore the science behind them!
当好莱坞彻底搞错了科学,而我们甚至都没注意到的时候,会发生什么?我们喜欢的电影里,哪些片段看起来特有道理,但稍微一琢磨就不太对劲了?这场以科学为主题的“边看边聊”里,我们会仔细看《挽救计划》和其他一些经典电影的片段,把它们里面的物理、化学和逻辑放在一起好好盘一盘。它们到底错得有多离谱?哪些地方又差一点就讲通了?而且,为什么这些片段还是会让人觉得挺真的?
主持人 David 是一位拿过奖的建筑师,在物理和化学方面也有很深的功底,这场活动的重点不是抬杠,而是一起好奇。这些电影他是真心喜欢的,这也让对话变得更有意思:好的故事是怎么在不让你出戏的前提下,去“扭曲”现实的?我们会一起拆解那些大场面背后的科学,把事实和虚构分开,看看当准确度和讲故事发生冲突的时候,电影人通常会把什么放在前面。不管你是科学爱好者,还是单纯喜欢看电影,这都会是一场有趣、好玩、让人脑洞大开的讨论,而且会让你从此看电影的视角都不一样了。
所以,舒舒服服地窝在椅子上,跟几个好朋友一起,看看那些超赞的电影片段,然后尽情地“宅”起来,把背后的科学聊个透吧!
