Genius is always lonely, but the world is ordinary after all. It is only because the world is ordinary that they seem so out of place.
The first time I heard about Turing was because of the Apple logo that was bitten; the first time I heard about Turing was after watching the movie.
The film is based on the biography "Alan Turing" written by Andrew Hodges. The film is divided into three parts to play alternately in terms of time. One is about Turing and another boy when he was in school. The second is about Turing being hired by the government and the team to crack the enigmatic code, etc., and the other is after the war. The police investigate and interrogate him.
The film is narratively tight, with basically no moments where you can close your eyes and rest. And the director arranged these three parts very cleverly. The first part explains the fact that Turing was gay, followed by a long talk about Turing's contribution to speeding up the end of the war, and the last part focuses on Turing's life after the war. Such a compact yet appropriate arrangement and interconnectedness can easily resonate with the audience.
But when watching this movie. I suddenly remembered some words written by a French writer in the book "The Crowd". The main driving force for the development and progress of this world is driven by individuals, not by an organization of a group of blind people. When all people form a group, they become "stupid", impulsive, irritable, and forgetful. Once someone can use these characteristics of them in a certain way, then this person must have an important characteristic of being a leader. In some aspects of the movie, that statement is quite right.
What Turing suffered was unfair to him, and everyone has the right to choose. Finally, there is an explanation at the end of the movie: on December 24, 2013, at the request of British Attorney General Chris Grayling (Chris Grayling), the Queen of England finally granted Turing a royal pardon.
When brushing Zhihu, what do you think of Turing being forgiven? Under the question, I feel that someone said quite rightly, "Turing doesn't need anyone's forgiveness, and of course no one is qualified to forgive him."
Genius is always alone
Some things are also true of some people. You don't need to let others judge.
