In the movie The Imitation Game there were many factors of the movie that were true and false in Alan Turing’s life. Although, most of his work is shrouded in mystery, we still have quite a bit of history on the man. Firstly, in the movie, we are showed that Alan has feelings for his dear friend Christopher and that Turing attends an all-boys-academy. This, in fact, is true. Christopher did genuinely exist and the school at which they attended was called Sherborne School in Dorset. In the film we

How do you crack something with 158 million million million possible combinations? Many countries have tried, but ultimately failed to accomplish their goal. The movie The Imitation Game accurately portrays the historical events of the era. It correctly informs the viewer on how the Nazis communicated using a machine called enigma, it also shows an accurate depiction of Bletchley Park and the work of cracking enigma and the things they did to ensure that nobody found out about their work, and it

The Imitation Game is a 2014 American historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Graham Moore, which is based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges. It is about the code breaking program by the British during World War II, which helped Britain to break encoded Enigma messages from the Germans. Alan Turning, the main character, is a homosexual mathematician that is in charge of the project and is portrayed as a selfish genius that builds the code breaking machine

"The Imitation Game" by Morten Tyldum, is a handsomely engrossing and poignantly melancholic thriller about code-cracking World War Two thrills. Alan Turing successfully attempts to break the enigma code which leads to 14 million lives being saved and the war being shortened by 2 years. Conflict is all over this film emotionally and physically, externally and internally, especially in the protagonist's case, Alan Turing, who isn't exactly a straight forward character. As humans we generally feel

When it comes to symbols throughout this movie, they are not hidden where you have to think about it. These motifs are easily present and up front an personal when the film was screened. The first motif was obvious and of course the main sought out object of the entire film and that was the Enigma machine. This machine was said to be the unbreakable message translator that would be all the leverage needed for Germany to have the victory at the end of the tunnel. The Enigma machine was easy to

Everyone has a passion, everyone has a purpose, but more importantly everyone has an impact. In the beginning of the 20th Century, there was a boy named Alan Turing who seemed like any other troublesome delinquent, but as he grew he became one of the most crucial tools for the British Military. Morten Tyldum directs, “The Imitation Game,” which is a piece of cinematography created to illustrate the period of time during WWII where the German use of the Enigma code, which is an encrypted form of

The movie I am researching is The Imitation Game. The movie is about a British intelligence agency during WWII that recruits mathematics alumnus Alan Turing to break Nazi code… cryptanalysts thought the code was unbreakable. Alan’s team analyzes Enigma messages, and Turing builds a machine to decipher them. His team succeeds and become heroes, but in the year 1952 Alan encounters disgrace when the authorities find out he is homosexual, and they send him to prison. The reason I want to research this

Alexander Weygers lived a life of creative adventure on an income so low it never interested the Internal Revenue Service. He continually complained that man’s essential failure was to know when enough was enough, and he used the line at which he would need to write a check to the IRS as his definition of “enough.” There was one occasion, though, when he flirted with that line. “I got trapped by my own success,” he said. Weygers’ dalliance with the tax man came in the late 1950s when he traded

One of the ten principal virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary is “continual mental prayer.” During her life, the Blessed Mother was constantly in tune with God’s will. Every morning she woke up thinking about God, she thought about Him continually throughout the day, and she went to bed thinking about Him. She was the new Eve, who possessed the same preternatural gifts that Adam and Eve possessed before they sinned. As a reminder, in addition to an immortal soul, God gave our first parents, Adam and
