![]() ![]() This is *not* how the German ciphers were broken and it is not even a reasonable depiction of Turing's life, particularly so when it comes to the atrocious way he was treated after the war. ![]() However, this film's story takes such liberties with the facts that it really cannot be recommended. The story told by this film is watchable, Cumberbatch renders Turing sympathetically and, somewhat to my surprise, Knightley takes the thinly written role of Joan Clarke and turns it into something with a fair bit of heft. "The Imitation Game" is neither of these films. The story of Alan Turing, a key member of the team that developed the methods and machines that broke those ciphers is an important one, also deserving of an accurate telling. The story of the breaking of the German ciphers during WWII is a significant one, deserving of an accurate telling.
