The Imitation Game:
In 1939, newly created British intelligence agency MI6 recruits Cambridge mathematics alumnus Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to crack Nazi codes, including Enigma -- which cryptanalysts had thought unbreakable. Turing's team, including Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley), analyze Enigma messages while he builds a machine to decipher them. Turing and team finally succeed and become heroes, but in 1952, the quiet genius encounters disgrace when authorities reveal he is gay and send him to prison.

Alan Turing succeeded in breaking the Nazi’s Enigma code, and greatly helped the war effort. After the war, he was arrested and chemically castrated, which led to his death shortly after, all because he was gay.

Winston Churchill was given a tour around bletchley park where they where trying too break enigma, he wrote in a very simple memo to the ministry of defence, "give them what they want" because he new how valuable it was.

What bothers me about this film is that they always portray these men as this autistic asocial stereotype. Turing was actually known to be quite charming and social.

Turing and Oppenheimer. Both discarded and destroyed once they’d served their purpose.

I swear villainous, strict, and overall intimidating characters were invented because of Charles Dance(tywin)

I was actually lucky enough to have met Hugh Alexander. He presented me with a prize at the Dragon School in Oxford in 1972 at a chess tournament when I was 9 - I’ll never forget how excited my parents were to meet him - at the time I had no idea of all his achievements during the war.

Hugh Alexander was a very strong chess player and twice British Champion. When I was much older I read a couple of chess books he had written about chess openings for those new to the game. Just from his writing I could see he had a truly brilliant mind - the simplicity and clarity in his writing was truly exceptional:))

Charles dance is a powerful figure with his demeanor and voice. Incredible work.

This movie is so inaccurate, Alan Turing was actually known for being super social and charismatic, always the life of the party as they say. he was not autistic or socially awkward at all, like they make him out to be in the movie. Also around 3000 people worked on the ultra project not just a couple dozen like they make it out in the movie and Alan touring was the final step in a million steps done before him.
(Also interesting side note Alan Turing was fairly openly gay throughout this time period as he would openly flirt with men and take male dates to parties and social events which was fairly crazy given the time period.)

[ianpeters]

This movie did Turing dirty. In reality, he was known to be rather congenial and, though eccentric, was well liked by his colleagues.

If he'd listened to those Muppets, they'd never had broken Enigma

Even though this is a fictional-ish military drama, it shows how frustrating it was for certain intelligent people to work for, with or under those who lacked imagination.

For those of you who are curious, "SW1" includes Westminster, Belgravia, and St. James in London and does include Downing Street over by the river. London SW (southwest) has 20 postal codes. The SWs began in 1857.

The borders of the original SW1 remain, but unlike all the other SWs, SW1 has gotten so popular that it has been further subdivided into eight sub-regions. Thus, #10 is located in "SW1A"--but only for mail purposes. If you want to tell someone where to go geographically speaking, you just use "SW1". So technically this guy is telling Turing to "go take a hike".

The singular point where London is divided into NW, SE, SW, W, etc. is in the middle of the Thames dead center of the Waterloo Bridge. NE and S no longer exist (abolished in the 1860s because it was simply more efficient to divide their Londoners among other codes).

I love how Churchill was always entirely willing to listen to people and flip the script when given a reason to do so "oh your superior officer is a blithering idiot is he? Well you're in charge now, go on and get it done lad"

[thevindictive]

Watched the movie and ended up hating humanity even more, for making stupid laws. Absolutely disgraceful on how they treated this man.

Ive been to Bletchley park in Milton keynes. Great place. Its a computer Museum now with an Bomb (The computer that cracked the code) on display
