Reducing the actual Alan Turing to a bumbling social failure, to garner viewer empathy

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2015)

Not particularly true to original events nor true to Alan Turing Character. Farcical but big budget movie with excellent actors make it for a great viewing nonetheless. Reducing the actual Alan Turing to a bumbling social failure, to garner viewer empathy was a main theme of movie, but actual truth Turing was a charmer and socially apt personality.
Where the movie shines is showing Turing for his concept of coming up with a thinking machine, or Machine intelligence. A machine that can be re programmed. This later develops into what is know as the Computer. In the digital age it was renamed Artificial intelligence. The unsung hero of science and WWII finally finds the spotlight in global cinema, albeit in the form of a sobering social miscreant. Nor does it end their, the movie failed to show the social class and woman status correctly. Turing developed the machine and outline it theoretically the machine was build by mechanics not Turing himself because it was deemed of lower status to meddle with mechanics and get your hands dirty, the upper class social norm of the time in England. The machines was run and maintained by the woman, and it gave out a lot of heat.
