The Imitation Game -2014-

The Imitation Game gives us a version of Turing that is palatable for the screen—a hero with a flaw we can understand. But it also gives us the essential truth: that a mind can be a machine, that love can be a cipher, and that the greatest secrets are often hidden in plain sight. When the film ends and the screen fades to black, it leaves us not with the facts, but with a question: What other geniuses have we punished for the crime of being themselves? And how many more Enigmas remain uncracked, because we refused to listen to the people no one imagined anything of? That is the imitation game we are still playing, and it is the one that matters most.

The tension in the workshop is palpable. As the team—comprised of a stellar supporting cast including Keira Knightley as Joan Clarke, Matthew Goode as Hugh Alexander, and Allen Leech as John Cairncross—races against the clock, the film adopts the pacing of a heist movie. The audience knows the history, yet the suspense of whether the machine will work keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The Imitation Game -2014-
