Great movie with a confused ending

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2015)

The movie itself is actually really good, albeit a bit slow paced in parts. I did enjoy it for what it was and Cumberbatch did a fantastic job in the lead role. Because this is a true story, what really confused me was how the end, including the post-script seemed to be focused on the fact that he was gay - including saying how many men were convicted of indecent exposure because of homosexual activities.
I didn't think that was necessary.
It almost felt like an attempt to break down some additional barrier of discrimination on behalf of a worldwide gay rights movement.
I felt Turing's achievements should have been celebrated because he was a gifted MAN ... his main battle may have actually been overcoming what appeared to be autism. His homosexuality was not a battle for him, it was a battle for others and that era to accept. But it didn't impact on his achievements and is barely mentioned in the movie except towards the end.
