A must see a lesson in a lot of aspects

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2018)

I have had the opportunity of re-watching this film recently and I have to say that it is one of the best historical films I have seen.
It is highly enjoyable and entertaining, which is essential in any film. There is not a boring part, from start to finish it keeps you hooked up.
Despite some inaccuracies, after watching the film you know who was Touring and what he did. But the film conveys much more than history, it conveys emotions and teaches a well-balanced lesson. I am used to historical films in my country, Spain. Even or specially the ones with more money/budget and great costumes, try to present modern ideas in old times and they comit two sins in my view, creating evil creatures without taking into account the customs of the period and offering a highly pesimistic, dark vision of the past in Spain, as if in the past people were unable to have happy moments. This film, however, even criticizing the period, recognise the efforts of everybody and shows a positive picture of Britain and the people in that period. I envy that fair treatment.
Individuals, without taking into account their political, religious or particular things, are the key.
But the thing I like most about the film is its capacity to transmit emotions till the end.

In the end you see a man broken by the doings of those who will never make any difference, touching scene with "her wife" and the crossword. And the words at the end, telling, as it is not that important, that this guy was creating some machines... what we now call computers. I mean, amazing ending for a superb movie.
