Reference excerpt

Guillotine Guys is a 2010 short comedy thriller film written and directed by James Ricardo and starring Russ Kingston, Mark Wood and J.C. Maçek III.

Plot A young punk robs a liquor store and learns a painful yet valuable lesson about loss and attachment.

Film festival run Guillotine Guys was screened at the 2010 Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in Bucheon, South Korea.

Critical reception Film Threat, "Guillotine Guys exhibits enough style and cool-headed storytelling to warrant more than seven minutes of your time." Dread Central, "I loved it, and feel it would make a perfect aperitif to a feature film, paired with another short or two." Ain't It Cool News, "A moralistic short film." HorrorCultFilms, "Guillotine Guys is a dark comedy thriller from writer and director, James Ricardo. James’ film had me curious, shocked, wincing, laughing and ‘ohhh’ing. A short that can do all that in under 7 minutes deserves to be recognised. The film is gritty and authentic with an attention to detail that should be applauded."

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Guillotine Guys

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Guillotine Guys claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Guillotine Guys before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Guillotine Guys ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Guillotine Guys

In research: Guillotine Guys appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Guillotine Guys in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Guillotine Guys is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010 American films, 2010 English-language films, 2010 comedy thriller films, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Guillotine Guys outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
