A touching epic

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 2015)

This film tells the life of Alan Turing, the mathematical genius who cracked the unbreakable code used by Nazi Germany in World War II.
"The Imitation Game" shows how socially inept Alan Turing is, and I think the script depicts this autistic aspect very well. The emergence of Joan in the film is such a gift, because she cares for Alan unconditionally, without asking for any return. I was deeply touched by her selfless sacrifice she offered Alan when Alan told her the secret. The thriller aspect of the film is very good too. The film successfully shows how there's so much at stake to crack the code, which seems impossible. The ending is so sad and moving. It's so sad that Alan Turing had to face such a horrible fate. To think that he died without any recognition of the tremendous achievement brings tears to my eyes. I really enjoyed watching it.
