heartbreaking , wonderfully described

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2015)

Alan Turing is a mathematician dedicated to his work who has no sense of humour . keira knightley is lovely as Joan Clarke , the only woman cryptanalyst in highly male dominated field . the sacrifices Alan made for his country are indescribable and cruel treatment by society makes it worse . his actions are hard to judge . this movie will leave you in tears . it is hard to believe that British society was so narrow minded in sexual matters during period around second world war . Alan does things by logic not emotion . the way he decides to propose is apt . not no jargon about breaking codes , focus is on team work to solve practically impossible puzzle . narration is solid . the ending is unpleasant and pitiful . it is tragic . scenes from war are appropriate , i wonder how did they get such archived footage . inferior treatment to women in intellectual matters is highlighted . secrets ruin lives , nobody should ever be in such an unenviable position . had second world war not occurred , alan could have made lot of contribution .
