Movie: The Imitation Game

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2015)

Based on a true story of Alan Turing, Morten Tyldum's Oscar-nominated movie The Imitation Game, depicted Turing's life during World War II as Alan Turing tried to crack the enigma code with the help from fellow mathematicians.
The Imitation Game was vibrant and lively, engaging its audiences on three levels: The fascinating way the Nazis managed to outsmart the rest of the world until Turing came along, how his giant computer worked, and what happened to him in the end, when the truth about him was finally revealed.
However, the movie had been criticized for inaccuracy, and historians claimed that Turing wasn't a socially awkward, fragile man as depicted in the movie, but rather a brave and courageous man. But still, I enjoyed the movie because it held the interest of the audience through several dramatic qualities.
The lead actor and actress Benedict Cumberbatch, and Keira Knightley, did a fine job, even though he was perhaps too well fixed in the minds of the audience now as another peculiar genius, Sherlock Holmes.
