Typical of anticlimactic

One word to describe this movie is a pity.

In fact, the pictures of Turing's decryption are not bad, especially the performance of Cuan Fu. But until they decoded it, the style of painting suddenly changed, and it became a super bloody discussion of ethics. In order to report to the superiors to protect a certain warship, the drama reached the level of domestic anti-Japanese dramas, and even arranged for the brother of a certain team member to be on the warship. When I saw it, I shook my head, it was a failure of a failure.

Going further back is a complete mess, and the director obviously loses control over the characterization. Turing's struggle in politics was hastily taken over. The early stage was well laid out and a warm emotional line. Suddenly, the relationship with the heroine became abnormally bloody, and it ended hastily. The director wanted to include Turing's homosexual background and the persecution he suffered for it into the film, but because the effect of these factors was too great, he couldn't figure out the connection with the first half of the decoding game. Situation, face Turing's meltdown and tears directly, and then...then he dies.

The idea of ​​a two-line structure is very good, but the later emotional scenes are handled rudely. The audience needs to have an understanding of Turing's life course and need enough brain supplements.
