Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: A vague description of oral sex is heard.
Turing mentiones that he enticed another man to touch his penis.
Violence & Gore: A school-aged boy is bullied and trapped in the space between the floorboards of a classroom. His classmates taunt him while nailing down the wooden planks that hold him prisoner.
Scenes show Londoners heading into shelters while bombs fall on the city; afterward destroyed buildings and other damage is shown.
A wounded solider is seen with a bloodied, amputated stump.
A man punches another in the face.
A woman slaps a man.
Profanity: Infrequent anti-Semitic and homosexual slurs are used. Mild profanities are heard.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Historical tobacco and alcohol use are depicted throughout.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The last scene of the movie involves the main character suffering from the effects of chemical castration . It can be disturbing and emotional to watch.
Story: Based on the real life story of legendary cryptanalyst Alan Turing, the film portrays the nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant team of code-breakers at Britain's top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II.
Likes : This biopic of the extraordinary and tragic mathematician and inventor of the digital computer that we have today sitting in you living room or pc lap top you work on is because of Alan Turing, Alan Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is emotionally engaging and utterly endearing. With a slick exquisite script and an eclectic ensemble strong enough to deliver, it's an accessible film that although may feel familiar, is thoroughly refreshing, bringing laughter, tears and thrills truly say this is one of Benedict best performances to-date along with co-stars Keira Knightley, Mark Strong & a few other to bring a true story that is not only heart breaking at the way poeple were treated if they were homosexual during the second world but the struggle to crack a code that everyone said was impossible, but thank to the genius that was Alan Turning who sadly took his life because of the British government treating him like a leper making him take hormones treat to reverse being gay he took his own life in 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday which really made me angry that this world would make a man take their own life over being different.
This truly is a master piece of a film show the back ground on what it took & the hard work to stop the Germans from winning a war this film really show this thanks to Turing she had shorten the war by two years & save over 14 million people though his own genius that is what he should be remember for not some stupid b**llsh*t prudish about him being gay was wrong, because it not right that any one should be prosecute for who they are i think that law was way out of order, this truly is a film to watch..
Alan Mathison Turing, 23 June 1912 / 7 June 1954) was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, pioneering computer scientist, mathematical biologist, and marathon and ultra distance runner. He was highly influential in the development of computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of "algorithm" and "computation" with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
During World War II, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including improvements to the pre-war Polish bombe method, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. Winston Churchill said that Turing made the single biggest contribution to Allied victory in the war against Nazi Germany. Turing's pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in several crucial battles. It has been estimated that Turing's work shortened the war in Europe by as many as two to four years.
After the war, he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he designed the ACE, among the first designs for a stored-program computer. In 1948 Turing joined Max Newman's Computing Laboratory at Manchester University, where he assisted development of the Manchester computers and became interested in mathematical biology. He wrote a paper on the chemical basis of morphogenesis, and predicted oscillating chemical reactions such as the BelousovZhabotinsky reaction, first observed in the 1960s.
Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, when such behaviour was still criminalised in the UK. He accepted treatment with oestrogen injections (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. Turing died in 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death a suicide; his mother and some others believed it was accidental. On 10 September 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for "the appalling way he was treated." The Queen granted him a posthumous pardon on 24 December 2013
Dislikes : The pace of the film is slightly slow but it was just bearable to watch the film as it dose keep you gripped.
Overall : Great story telling, Emotional & gripping, story based on a true man that crack the code.
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.9 out of 10 for true story
