"Alan Turing. L'enigma di un genio."
The Imitation Game
Manchester, primi anni '50. Alan Turing, brillante matematico ed esperto di crittografia, viene interrogato dall'agente di polizia che lo ha arrestato per atti osceni. Turing inizia a raccontare la sua storia partendo dall'episodio di maggiore rilevanza pubblica: il periodo, durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, in cui fu affidato a lui e ad un piccolo gruppo di cervelloni, fra cui un campione di scacchi e un'esperta di enigmistica, il compito di decrittare il codice Enigma, ideato dai Nazisti per comunicare le loro operazioni militari in forma segreta. È il primo di una serie di flashback che scandaglieranno la vita dello scienziato morto suicida a 41 anni e considerato oggi uno dei padri dell'informatica in quanto ideatore di una macchina progenitrice del computer.

Vedi tutto su TMDBThe first time I saw this movie, I loved it. It made me want to learn more about Alan Turing, but the more I learned, the more I realised how inaccurate this movie is. It is well acted, well produced, well cast, and I would still love it if not for the fact that it differs so much from what really happened that it would have been more appropriate to change all the names and portray it as purely hi…
Benedict Cumberbatch is fantastic in this movie. I really dug this. Love movies set during WWII and this one encapsulates it brilliantly. Felt they did the story justice while also having an underlying message on acceptance. **Score:** _90%_ **Verdict:** _Excellent_
Whilst I did enjoy this telling of the wartime efforts of the British code-breakers at Bletchley Park, I think I prefer Sir Derek Jacobi's 1996 interpretation of the achievements of Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician who led a team of enigmatic individuals who broke the Nazi "Enigma" code. Benedict Cumberbatch is really just reprising his BBC "Sherlock" characterisation - even down to the pe…
'The Imitation Game' is fascinating stuff. I watched 2001's 'Enigma' almost five years ago and do remember liking it, though I found it a bit too pedestrian (at least early on). This 2014 release does a greater job at telling the story of Alan Turing & Co. Firstly, this did a particularly great job in terms of casting. Benedict Cumberbatch (and Alex Lawther) are terrific as the aforementioned. …
