The Imitation Game Plot
During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality - little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, THE IMITATION GAME follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives.

Benedict Cumberbatch was amazing, as per usual.
I went with a friend who actually works for Microsoft but knew next to nothing about Turing, the story of Enigma and what ended up happening to Turing. She was gutted when the movie finished and so incredulous that he wasn't pardoned until 2013. "That was just less than TWO YEARS ago!" she said.
This is a story that needs to be told, but they do almost make Alan Turing a saint. I seem to remember the Enigma movie had more about affairs he had, which led to him being suspected as a spy. Besides his teenage crush, they make him rather asexual.
Undoubtedly this will be nominated for Best Picture and so will Benedict. In another... |
