The Imitation Game: The Legend of Turing

We know Bill Gates, we know Microsoft; we know Jack Ma, we know Taobao; we know Apple, we know Jobs. But a few people know the founder of computers, and a few people know Alan Turing!

This movie called Imitation Game, when I first saw it, I thought it was a post-World War II suspense movie of the last century. Or a war movie, going back to the World War II period more than ten years ago, how did he decipher the encrypted code of the German army? It was not until about the middle of the year, when he told his girlfriend about his ideas, that I felt slightly that the machine he was going to create was actually a computer, and I also remembered that Turing was the father of computer.

I didn't expect this movie, which tells the history of the birth of computers and the life of the father of computers, to be called the imitation game so inconspicuously. Just because such a name almost made me want to delete it, but fortunately I watched the first half seriously, and I was also attracted by its suspense, and then I knew there was a movie about a great man.
