The Imitation Game

Rating: 3.5/5

Like so many war movies, this film attracted my attention. Not every day we come along a movie that depicts the World War II from another dimension. This movie isn't about the battlefield conflicts and war heroes with guns and rifles. It's the making of the war behind the scenes if one might call it. Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) is called by the MI6 to help crack the enigma's (German code machine) coded letters in order to help the troops on the battlefield win the war.
The story doesn't get dull at any point, in fact in not a single minute of its 114 running time does the spectator get bored or distracted. And we can't ignore the major role played by Keira Knightley (Turing's wife). Knightley put an elegant touch on a simple role.
The Imitation Game runs smoothly and shed a light on a major point which was a controversial thing in England back at the time which is homosexuality. Turing was persecuted and his work was nullified. But Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon in 2013 which is nearly after 60 years of his death.
I enjoyed this movie and recommend it to anyone interested in knowing the true heroes of the war, and the genius Alan Turing was.
