That guy he really have seen every humiliation possible.

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2015)

This is a biopic about British mathematician Alan Turing who cracked Nazi's code (Enigma) which helped the Allies win WWII.
Alan Turing he may played a crucial role affecting the fate of millions but overall he was a tragic figure. Throughout his (short) life he experienced every humiliation possible because of his strange personality who made people to hate him and later his homosexuality which was considered a criminal act in the UK back in the 1950s.
This movie does a good job on making you feeling sorry for him.
Benedict Cumberbatch with his unusual facial features brings the character to life effectively. This is not a "Sherlock" movie. The character emits an "autistic" quality. Good with numbers and codes but annoying and without social skills.
As I'm reading this movie takes a lot of liberties. Many aspects of the film are not true, like his special relationship with Joan Clarke (played by Keira Knightley, who by the way is nothing like the actual person according to her niece in terms of looks and personality).
It seems like the producers went for "That guy saved the world and protected the modern way of life AND ...invented the computers, and the society humiliated him, poisoned him and pushed him to commit suicide." So its a movie that leaves a bitter feeling at the end.
Overall it's a good movie, certainly not worthy to be at top250 as it is now or a "Masterpiece", and Cumberbatch's performance is good and not "Epic". If you catch it somewhere, check it out.
