The most surprising thing is that Turing proposed to protect the fact that they had already cracked the Enigma machine. At first it sounds very reasonable, if the enemy already knows that Enigma has been cracked, all previous efforts will be wasted. But I think this is really a screenwriter's idea, a typical liberal arts student's idea. First of all, the movie portrays Turing as a very arrogant person, so how can this arrogant person suddenly admit that he has limited IQ and cannot crack another Enigma setting? And this research effort is obviously not in vain.
There is also the artificially sensational segment, where Peter asked Turing to release the decrypted information. I feel very pretentious and don't feel moved, this kind of clip should be cut off.
In fact, seeing the name of this movie, the first picture that came to mind was the appearance of Turing dying after taking a bite of a poisoned apple. Then the director actually cut out this picture! WTF, don’t you think the creeps can’t be taken again?
Well, I said so many bad things, so let’s say something good. The director obviously still wants to respect the facts, the appearance of the Enigma machine, and some of the machine parts, these details indicate that the director has read Wikipedia. The director obviously said more about Turing, but unfortunately not enough brain power, so that you can only see a few words of those things in each segment of the movie. For example, the Turing test is passed in the conversation, such as Apple's stalk.
Expectations are too high for this kind of evaluation.
