Captivating

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2016)

It was like watching a more serious version of Sheldon Cooper and I totally loved it. The movie is very well executed. It has an interestingly developing plot that keeps you engaged, great cast with Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley acting marvellously and it evokes curiosity about a true event and makes you wonder 'did this actually happen'. And not to forget it is emotional at times which makes the movie even more likable.
The real-life lessons: One lesson that can be identified and is quite important is that you need friends to achieve what you want to. You need other helps, team work not matter how smart you are. Alan Turing only really had a chance to build the machine and crack the code when he received the support and help of his colleagues. It pays off to be nice. Secondly, being sociable and talking to people is crucial even for the workplace work. Alan Turing only got the idea of how to solve the code during a random conversation with a stranger that he met a bar that he otherwise wouldn't be in if it wasn't for him having made friends.
