Thought provoking movie based on fact. The main character Alan Turing is played beautifully both by the young lad & Benedict Cumberbatch. Makes you wonder what the world would have become without this amazing man who was subsequently destroyed by the country he worked so hard for. A +
I just loved it from the start.
This film was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Well acted and a story well told from beginning to end. Excellent acting.
The Imitation Game
The Imitation Game is a 2014 historical thriller film directed by Morten Tyldum, with a screenplay by Graham Moore loosely based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges.
The Imitation Game is the remarkable real-life story of Alan Turing. The English mathematician played a key role in breaking German codes during World War II. In 1952 Turing was prosecuted for ‘gross indecency’ after reporting his young lover to the police for breaking into Turing’s home.
That prosecution was really for homosexuality. Convicted, Turing was given a choice of two penalties: imprisonment, or chemical treatment to reduce his sexual urges. He chose the latter, and was made impotent by the treatment. His security clearance was also revoked, and he could not continue his cryptographic work with the British government. In 1954 Turing was found dead of cyanide poisoning, and his death was ultimately ruled a suicide.
