Excellent job, Cumberbatch!

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2015)

The Imitation Game follows a history of the journey of a man called Alan Turing during the World War II in discovering a machine called "Christopher" that now would be called "computers". Alan Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch himself is a so-called genius student graduating from Cambridge, who then applied for a "secret job" for the government in order to win the war against Germany.
He is one of some interns that got in, including a single, smart and pretty woman, Jean Clarke, played by Keira Knightley. Alan Turing found a chemistry with her, being able to talk to her the most than the other interns, but not in a romantic way. To make long story short, The British finally won the war because of the help of "Christopher" and in the end, they were asked to destroy it.
Indeed Benedict Cumberbatch did a stunning performance playing an anti- social and odd prodigy in the film. Keira Knightley's appearance as a supporting artist was also quite well. The Imitation Game is a biography film that is able to capture its audience in such a perfect pace. It has the capability to make audience to feel it is just a mere movie, rather than a history-biography movie.
Although there are some conversations I didn't agree to be very interesting, but overall it is a story that changes your perspective to see the "odd" ones. Truly, "sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine."
