The film tackles prejudice against feminine, homosexual and any ideology dares to be different. Turing's answering of the question of whether a machine can think when facing indecency charge was just such a statement.'It does not think in the way as what a normal person would do, just like I don't think in the way what a normal person would do.' Idiosyncrasy is not nonhuman,that is what Turing meant.
Jone's rare understanding is not entirely normal either. Her immense tenderness toward Alan is the best you can imagine from the'ordinary' world. The after war period is not fully addressed, which leaves a mystery of the personality and sexual orientation of Jone herself open .
The story is told in three levels in the film. Boyhood love for Christofer, investigation of the burglar and the consequent discovery of being homosexual thread the war era work together, explain Turing's eccentric behaviour as a childhood trauma.
The plot suffers a bit of over-pushing. I don't think the strategic thinking of a non-action at the first deciphered message would be any appropriate for their positions, neither would they be capable of doing that. But in general, it is a good story and is worth the ticket, especially for someone who likes and likens the witty sort.
