Someone remind me why Birdman won even one Oscar when compared to this movie?

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2015)

OK, the technical details were off in some annoying ways, the extremely important work the Polish spies did was not mentioned, and that is important because the Poles were Jews as I recall. The time line was off and there was no mention of the four rotor problem. Nothing about the insanely precise operational magic the British pulled off. And the Bombes (the device that Turing was shown working on) increased by a large number over the war.
But that is just technical stuff that there is a movie that covers it pretty well: Enigma with Kate Winslet in it, watch it if you liked this movie. This movie capture the pain of being a software programmer way better than it did the homosexuality issues that Turing faced, which felt bolted on and really could have been easily extracted from the movie. First and foremost, Turing was the first software guy to face project creep, delivery issues and personal problems related to programming.
Now if you remove the part about his homosexuality, that is also a very interesting show, and an important message.
So bottom line: Why didn't this movie sweep? Was it because of that piece of trash Birdman? That "insider" emotional piece about the pain of being paid millions for being a technician at the hands of a director and writer? And the pain of having all that money? Really? Imitation Game has something for everyone who thinks, creates, loves, designs. Birdman? Junk in comparison. Birdman is seeping by people who have the good looks and an ability to follow instructions.
Ignore Birdman, watch this twice.
