[Movies] The Imitation Game

I just came back from seeing this and wanted to let you all know this is a must-see film for anyone with even a remote interest in things related to the military or war. Aside the phenomenal performance by Cumberbatch, the story was absolutely fascinating.

I had never heard of this war hero. The entire thing is a real tragedy if you look at it from the end. He saved 14 million lives, and that's how his government treated him... pathetic.

Not as famous as some, you have a point.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but its title refers to a famous paper that he wrote in 1950 that spawned the "Turing test." He was a giant in, among other fields, AI.

The "Nobel Prize of computing" is also named after him.

Just a warning: don't expect historical accuracy.

»www.theguardian.com/film ··· -history

I don't mean to dissuade you from seeing the film; just be aware it takes a lot of liberties with the truth.

Great movie..........typical of the pompous, arrogant Brits to take 60 years to pardon him and cover their asses,only because they knew the movie was coming out.

Benedict Cumberbatch is getting to be an amazing actor.........wouldn't be surprised to see him get some Oscar nominations for this role.

9/10
