I really like the way the film tells the story, with four episodes of Turing's life, and the story is told in an interlude.
During World War II, the government convened a group of mathematicians and logicians to crack the "Enigma" code system. Turing was initially disliked by others because of his withdrawn personality. But because of Joan's appearance, they gradually united everyone and worked together to successfully decipher the code.
Turing named his deciphering machine Christopher, and explained the origin of the name in the subsequent episodes of Turing's life as a student.
In the student days when Turing was often bullied by other students, Christopher was the only one who walked into Turing's life and gave him encouragement. It was also he who led Turing into the world of decoding. Therefore, Turing named the deciphering machine in honor of the person he loved.
After the war, Turing was forced to undergo chemical castration and hormone therapy because of the exposure of his homosexuality. Looking at the man who was once arrogant and made great contributions to the country during the war, now his hands are shaking, he is trying his best to protect the old machine, and he says with tears: "Don't take him away from me, keep him. I'm alone!" People couldn't help but feel sorry.
While lamenting "people's injustice towards homosexuality and disrespect for women" in that era, I also thought calmly about these issues, don't they exist today? This is a historical question, but it is also happening in the present, and it will happen in the future.
