      The Imitation Game--Lonely Hero Of Legendary Dog Blood

      For the Oscars on February 22, I am interested in finding all the nominees for best picture and preparing to watch them one by one. I don’t know how much the difference between personal preferences and the final result will be, but I am looking forward to it.

      As an avid fan of World War II-themed films, this little-known but wonderful saga is enough to...

      The Imitation Game: Difference between Man and Machine

      "People worship violence because people get gratification from it."

      We can understand its anti-war connotation from the thoughts of the whole film, and we can also see his fierce opposition to campus bullying from the story of the young Alan; this line has been said several times in Alan Turing's mouth, Each appearance reminds us of its meaning, and the shock spirals upwards.

      Director Morten Tydum's film The Imitation Game takes 110 minutes to show...

      Christopher is a machine for screenwriters

      After watching the movie, it was still very surging, but after checking the historical facts, there were quite a lot of jokes. 

      -Turing's machine for cracking Enigma completed its original design in 1939. It was named Bombe, not Christopher; the first Bombe was put into use in 1940. 

      -In addition to Enigma, the German Army has other cryptographic systems. The subsequent machine responsible for the cracking task is called Colossus (because of its large size), and...

      Compobach's fangirl

      As the old ancestor of programmers, Turing, everyone should have heard more or less. But I still want to give you a brief introduction: Turing's cipher story begins with a "mystery", which is a cipher used during the war, and it was Turing who cracked this cipher. During World War II, Germany invented a seemingly unbreakable cipher "ENIGMA", a machine for ENIGMA encryption and decryption. This cipher was widely used by the German army, including locating submarines on the Atlantic transport...

      "Imitation Game": It's Different

      Biographies of figures like Turing are a treasure trove for filmmakers: such a genius, such a high achievement, such a "unique" that cannot be accommodated at the time, and such an ups and downs of history recognized by the world...

      The film uses three timelines to connect a character with logic and thickness: in 1951, he was targeted by the police due to theft from his home, which led to the investigation line of indecency; he was recruited into the army at the beginning of World War...

      It's really a neat work, and it can make you see the ambition of Chong Ao, but I can't help but give high marks. I feel that the world owes Turing, the world owes it, and it owes too many geniuses in vain. I really wanted to cry when Que revealed his true feelings to "Christopher" and his acting skills, but when I saw his long face twisted like that, I actually...

      Just the cast lineup is so satisfying. Unlike imagined, there is no excessive pursuit of atmospheric effects, but the delicate emotions between people in the details are very touching, and the handling of the film's ending is also light. The overall rhythm and atmosphere including the soundtrack are remarkable. I thought that many plots would be more intense, but the ignition came from daily life and the tension of inner desire. It still doesn't look like Cuan Fu playing gay, but the energy of...

      Every academic gay has a boyfriend named scientific research. The movie is a little too hard, neat and deliberate. Sometimes I miss my ears and sometimes I can't tell the difference. I have played too many geniuses and lost myself. Little Turing is a big cute point, and the result is so miserable. count five...

      An impressive saga. The world of genius may be difficult for us to comprehend, but the charisma when we devote ourselves to work, the light from the top of our head, we can appreciate that Turing is such a god-like savior. However, I think Turing's greatest thing is not only to create computers and shorten World War II, but to prefer chemical castration to keep Christopher, just like telling the world to maintain the precious dignity in their sexual...

    Imitate the background of game creation

    The film screenwriter Graham Moore is an avid fan of Alan Turing. The influence of this mathematician was everywhere in the American space camps and computer programming summer camps he participated in as a teenager. After realizing Turing's great inspiration to him, Moore has been looking for opportunities to bring Turing on the screen. When the copyright of "Alan Turing Biography" was taken down by the producers Nora Grossman and Ido...

    Shooting process

    Nearly one-third of the plot in the movie is concentrated in the decoding room of Bletchley Park, but in reality, most of the Bletchley Park scenes are shot in the green shed, and Turing and The part of his colleagues drinking and socializing was actually filmed in the bar of the real Bletchley Park. Because that beer hut is one of the most difficult scenes to recover, it is also the only place where the crew can finally enter...

    Plot processing

    The film keeps jumping in several different time periods: when Turing worked at Bletchley Park, his last days before his death, and his childhood when he met and fell in love with Christopher Morcom and Decrypt. This kind of mixed structure is intended to fully show Turing's personality image and the reasons for its formation. Because Turing is very fascinated by passwords, mysteries, and games, the screenwriter hopes that the entire...

    Tribute to videos

    As a Turing biopic, the film attempts to pay tribute to the father of computers in various ways. The title "Imitation Game" can be interpreted as the "Turing Test". It comes from a paper "Computer Machines and Intelligence" published by Turing in 1950: "Can machines think?" In the film Turing was accused of homosexuality. After the arrest, he and the police interrogating him also demonstrated this test on the spot, which became a point...

    Domestic evaluation

    "Imitation Game" has a character story with a heavy historical background, and the legend of cracking Ingmar is presented wonderfully. The rhythm is tight, the three timelines are interspersed repeatedly, without a wasted shot. The film is also very politically correct, and it has not overcorrected, ostentating homosexuality (Douban.com)   . A certain adaptation of Turing’s life and a certain adaptation of the film’s values ​​closer to...

    Foreign evaluation

    "The Imitation Game" truly reproduces Alan Turing, showing his contribution to British history and his short life. Whether it is Turing’s character perspective, psychological activities and life experience, or Turing’s lasting influence on British history and contemporary society, "The Imitation Game" has correctly shaped the character images in these two aspects (London International Film Festival) Comment by Chairman Claire Stewart)...

    Movie quotes

    • Commander Denniston: Have you ever won a war, Turing? I have. You know how it's done? Discipline, order, chain of command. You're not at university any more, you're a very small cog in a very large system. And you will do as your commanding officer instructs.

      Alan Turing: Who - who is your commanding officer?

      Commander Denniston: Winston Churchill. Number 10 Downing Street, London SW1. You have a problem with my decision, you can take it up with him.

    • Peter Hilton: All my friends, they're making a difference while we just wile away our days, producing nothing! Because of you.

      Alan Turing: My machine... will work.

    • Young Alan Turing: What's that you're reading?

      Christopher Morcom: It's about cryptography.

      Young Alan Turing: Like secret messages?

      Christopher Morcom: Not secret. That's the brilliant part. Messages that anyone can see but no one knows what they mean, unless you have the key.

      Young Alan Turing: How's that different from talking?

      Christopher Morcom: Talking?

      Young Alan Turing: When people talk to each other, they never say what they mean, they say something else. And you're expected to just know what they mean. Only I never do. So... How's that different?

      Christopher Morcom: Alan, I have a funny feeling you're going to be very good at this.
