درباره این فیلم

THE IMITATION GAME is a dramatic portrayal of the life and work of one of Britain's most extraordinary unsung heroes, Alan Turing. Based on the real life story of Alan Turing, who is credited with cracking the German Enigma code, THE IMITATION GAME portrays the nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant team at Britain's top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. 2014 Black Bear Pictures.

Telenovela masquerading as a feature film. Does no justice to the team at Bletchley park or to Turing himself, who is crippled with a retrospective aspergers diagnosis that renders him unrecognisably dysfunctional and (more tellingly) sexless. A team of 5,000 is reduced to a team of 5, computing machines appear fully formed from nowhere, and fundamental questions of direction and security are settled by farcical last minute squabbling. Cheapness reduces both Turing and the team around him.

There's some poor CGI - included, I suppose, to add weight to the WWII aspect - that really detracts from the movie far more than it should. The puzzle here is, why have CG planes instead of more Cumberbatch?

I did a project on the role enigma played in World War II and based some of my research off this movie. Although many of the facts are not true, for example Alan Turing didn't work on the machine alone, and the machine was not named Christopher, there are also a lot of true facts and background information about Turing. Overall, the movie is very well made. The movie shows the audience that there is a lot more to the two World Wars than just the soldiers on the battlefield.
