"Sometimes it's the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine" – The Imitation Game This film is inspiring on many different levels. It is a chapter of WWII of which I was unaware. The German code breakers and their brilliant analysis of what was prudent to strike and what was not was simply amazing.
It shows one why fascism political, religious or otherwise cannot be allowed to win the day. In WWII the time in which the film takes place, western civilization and true democracy hung by a thread.
The British code breaker mathematical genius Alan Turing saved our proverbial necks from fascism's tyranny! Suggested reading: "It Can Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis. Alan Turning got a raw deal and his maltreatment was in no small part because of who he was -- gay at a time when not only was it criminal but your body could be medically attacked for it. Thank you Alan Turning for showing us why our treatment of gays had to change and thank you for doing nothing more than saving western civilization! We owe you a huge apology.
It CAN happen here and we have the extremists to prove it.
