Review of Britain's Greatest Codebreaker (2012) by Barbara C — 17 Sep 2014

I watched this documentary because I have always had a fascination about the code breakers of the German Enigma machines. I had little knowledge about the man Alan Turing other than knowing he was part of the code breaking team and that he had something to do with modern computers.

The facts and information about his life and scientific achievements alone are reasons enough to watch this movie. To learn what happened to him post war is incredible. I left the movie emotionally upset and disturbed, thinking about how horrible creatures we can be as humans.

I know it was a different time and people thought differently than today but this movie has stuck with me and in my thoughts long after viewing it. I highly recommend this movie for anyone interested in this man, his part in the advancement to the field of science and computers as well as anyone interested in the history of homosexuality.
