However, everything is only what we can feel.
The real Turing, his soul, his thinking, may not be the same as we feel.
The main part of the movie still highlights the fact that Turing was cracking the Enigma.
As the absolute main force of the team, he is not actually the captain, but the movie also forcibly buffed a wave, in fact, it is not necessary.
Before and after the cracking of the password, it is still very vivid. After all, cracking the password is difficult for ordinary people to understand and resonate with, and the film is also very clever to express it from various perspectives, rather than simply In terms of mathematics, the whole process appears more acceptable. Especially after the crack, the entanglement about how to use the results to really help end the war, although the content is not much, it is very touching. (Additionally, the main reason why the Germans did not change the password settings was that they believed that Engma could not be cracked.)...
And other aspects of Turing were also more or less manifested, especially sexual orientation. part.
However, it focuses on introducing the first love part through interludes, and the other parts are limited by the length of the movie and are not described. I personally think it is reasonable.
Turing's obsessive-compulsive disorder may not be what the film shows. Turing is not disliked by everyone in life, but the performance from splitting to cooperation in the film can better show the entanglement of team building. As for his coming out of the closet, It's more frank than in the movie.
There is another point, which is still controversial - Turing's death, which was brought in the film with narration and subtitles, using the word "suicide".
However, Turing was only 41 years old at the time, and he had no appearance of committing suicide before, not even a suicide note; more importantly, when he "suicided", he was still working on research, a study of mathematics, cryptography, intelligence A person who loves so much will really suddenly let go of his love and choose to leave?
Turing's own thinking and contributions, as well as the contributions of the deciphering team during World War II, are presented in subtitles.
Indeed, any point of these two parts can be made into a movie alone.
It is worth adding that Turing's "late years" have begun to focus on thinking about the thinking of the machine itself, which is today's artificial intelligence. The "Turing Test" is also mentioned in the film, which is the standard used by the scientific community to judge whether a machine meets artificial intelligence. If Turing hadn't died young, perhaps the development of artificial intelligence today would be a completely different situation.
Therefore, the film's presentation of another issue, namely, the influence of the government on sexual orientation, is real and restrained, just like the performance of Turing and the war in the whole film. It does not have too much exaggerated interpretation, but brings a more heavy feeling. , but also triggers our deeper philosophical thinking.
In the end, this is a movie, not a documentary, nor Turing. It made people want to understand Turing, made people want to understand World War II and the code-breaking work in it, made people want to understand the evolution of the law with regard to sexual orientation, and this movie did it all.
