Directed by: Morten Tyldum
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode
Running Time: 114 minutes
The Imitation
Game tells the story of Alan Turing, a brilliant mathematician who was a major
part of the efforts to crack Nazi Germany’s naval Enigma Code. In his efforts,
he greatly helped the Allied Forces win the Second World War. His life after
the war was a hard one due to his homosexuality, which was illegal back then in
Britain.
Benedict
Cumberbatch did a magnificent acting job here. He was simply excellent. He
inhabited that character fully and made us believe it. All the other actors and
actresses involved were also solid.
I must also
commend the director for his work. This movie covers three different periods of
Turing’s life and does so in a non-linear fashion. In spite of that, the
transition between these three eras is fluid as we go back and forth.
This film
fully deserves the commercial and critical success it has received. Here is a line from the movie that stayed with me long after I exited the theater: "Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of that do the things no one can imagine"
