-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 the construction of the Colossus project is not directly related to Turing. A popular science film I saw in the Computer History Museum also mentioned that the war was shortened by two years, but that Colossus.
Regarding Turing itself, the movie seems to tend to portray Turing with autism, showing that he has social communication disorders (whether to eat lunch, not understand what flirting is, etc.), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (separate carrots and beans). But in the biographical work on which this film is based, Turing is a person with a great sense of humor and a harmonious relationship with his colleagues.
In the homosexual part, Turing, as described in the biography, did not hide his sexual orientation from friends and colleagues and would take the initiative to meet men.
The movie originally ended with a scene of Turing dying on the bed with a half-bitten apple on the table next to the bed, but the screenwriter and director felt that it was goofy, and finally edited it and replaced it with screen text to explain.
Understandably, biopics falsify facts for dramatic effects. The only thing that I think is more deliberate is to create a sense of opposition and create a tragic fate-like sensational effect that "Turing is a great genius but is treated inferiorly by society," which obscures the process of promoting password cracking. In other unsung heroes...computer inventions, no patent has been issued to any one person. The achievements in the development of science and technology are the result of many people helping and inspiring each other.View more about The Imitation Game reviews
