The Imitation Game (2014) MOVIE REACTION
Added 2023-04-07 16:00:06 +0000 UTCI did not know too much about Alan Turing before I watched this film. A sad story but we owe this man a lot!

One of the films that never fails to tear me up. It's such a tragic shame for the way he was treat. Such a good movie.

2023-11-09 02:38:03 +0000 UTCI've never been gay, but I think I might turn straight for Keira Knightley if I was.

2023-04-10 20:29:04 +0000 UTCI think the ‘medication’ given to Turing was meant to ‘cure’ his homosexuality, by lowering or (they hoped) removing his sexual urges completely, as back in the day ‘doctors’ thought homosexuality was a disease which could be cured.

2023-04-08 12:05:52 +0000 UTCThe incident at 1:28:00 with the guy's brother being killed, is similar to an actual incident where Churchill allowed the City of Coventry to be bombed by the Germans. Churchill had prior knowledge that the city was about to be hit, from intelligence gained by the Enigma decoder, but had to allow it to take place for the exact reasons mentioned in the movie. It was a very contentious issue, with many Brits turning against Churchill for not giving Coventry warning. I remember my Grandmother never forgave him for letting that happen, as she lost family in that bombing.

2023-04-07 23:42:03 +0000 UTCThe actor who plays the young Alan Turing is Alex Lawther who also stars in an episode of Black Mirror, which you should also watch.

2023-04-07 22:47:09 +0000 UTCIf you go to the UK, go to Bletchley Park. You can see his machine running.

2023-04-07 22:09:19 +0000 UTCThe fee wasn't really money, the fee was the British empire being signed over. Germany has only just stopped paying it's reperations in recent years, reperations for something forced upon them not something they started. True history is not taught in schools.

2023-04-07 21:47:22 +0000 UTCregardless, this is not a valid response to my comment , and the victor writes the history. there were many factors whybgermany responded the way it did, the french taking all the coal in the rheinland and freezing the germans in the early30\s, the discrimination of Jewish companies not hiring non jews etc... the list goes on and on . someone always has a justification for their their actions .

2023-04-07 21:12:25 +0000 UTCplus moneys after the war were borrowed from the us to the uk were repaid Great Britain has paid off the last of the loans it received to rebuild the country after World War II, sixty years ago. The last payment of US$83.25 million was transferred electronically to the United States on the last business day of 2006, along with an additional US$22.7 million to clear a similar debt owed to Canada. The original loan of US$4.34 billion, equivalent to about $27 billion in today's dollars, was negotiated in 1945 by John Maynard Keynes to protect the country from bankruptcy. Canada contributed US$1.2 billion, or an equivalent of about $7.5 billion today.

2023-04-07 20:10:33 +0000 UTCit was Roosevelt that tried to supported the war effort to the uk between 39 and 41, the american public had no appetite and didn't want to get involved in what they saw as a European issue, especially after ww1, it was only peal harbour that really triggered the public and congress to support the war. The Lend-Lease Act of 1941 stated that the U.S. government could lend or lease (rather than sell) war supplies to any nation deemed “vital to the defense of the United States.” Under this policy, the United States was able to supply military aid to its foreign allies during World War II, while still remaining officially neutral in the conflict. Most importantly, passage of the Lend-Lease Act enabled a struggling Great Britain to continue fighting against Germany virtually on its own until the United States entered World War II late in 1941.

Brian Moran
2023-04-07 19:38:11 +0000 UTCYeah, unfortunately, it was a crime to be gay in both the UK and the US around that time and before. He's considered one of the fathers of computing, and of AI. I wonder what he'd make of the world today, we've come a long way in both technology and social progress. It still shocks me how young he was when he achieved what he did, and then died. 41 is no age at all, really.

2023-04-07 16:34:23 +0000 UTCYou should try the movie The Courier also Starring Benedict, it's better than this film and also a true story regarding the cold war and the missile crisis.
