Misleading

Rating: 6/10 (17 January 2015)

I enjoyed this movie, but was disturbed by all the inaccuracies. Turing was always upfront about his sexual preferences. His teenage relationship with Christopher was never as intense as portrayed, and he learned of his friend's death along with the other boys. All the stuff about the name of his enigma breaking machine, his interaction with his temporary fiancÃ©e, and most of his time with the enigma team was mistaken. Especially annoying was the nonsense about being suspected of treason. What an insult, that this British hero was ever accused of being a spy. Finally, notice how cavalier the screenwriters were about his pardon. Pardoned for what? Being gay? His conviction and that of many, many others should have been expunged. Nonetheless the lead actor is superb in the role, and the story is engaging, so I'll give it a lukewarm pass.
