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 is an American historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldum. The movie was released on November 28, 2014 in the United States. The movie is based on a true story. It was about how Alan Turing broke the worlds most difficult code, Enigma, which helped win World War 2 massively. In the movie, there are some facts that have happened and some that were either not true or over exaggerated. The Imitation Game was mostly an inaccurate movie. The movie showed us that Turing had
"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
The Imitation Game is a film that was directed by Morten Tyldum that is based on the less-known, real life story of Alan Turing. The film portrays Turing and his brilliant team of code-breakers at Britain's Bletchley Park, during World War II, and shows their unprecedented and less-known race against time to prevent the Germans from winning the war. Alan Turing shortened down the length of the war by a couple of years and had saved 14 million lives in the process. However, despite this, he was
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
