The Imitation Game

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2015)

The Imitation Game is set during World War II and based on the true story of Alan Turing, the inventor of computers. Alan Turing was played by Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife, Joan Clarke, was played by Keira Knightley.
During World War II, mathematician Alan Turing applies to a British special force in charge of cracking the enigma code German forces uses. He struggles to find a way to decode it with his fellows, going through repeated failure, deep frustration, and demanding pressure from above. While he is doing this, audiences face a couple of unexpected turns, both of which prevents audiences from relieving tension.
With delicately described psychology of the protagonist, it is hard for viewers to take their eyes off the screen even for a second. Besides, they might feel a form of pathos when confronting with the hapless genius, his great achievement, and his poignant later years.
I would never recommend this film if you were addicted to roughly made tacky movies, thereby could not finish watching a movie without being distracted by kludge which consists of millions of tons of spectacles. This is recommended only to deliberate and patient people who are willing to get involved in the emotions and situations portrayed in scenes.
