Review of The Imitation Game (2014) by Jacob — 13 Jan 2015
The Imitation Game isn’t just a film about breaking codes but a man’s struggle between logic and emotion, man vs. machine, and above all else dealing with being different. This personal story allowed me to get invested in the film in a way that I couldn’t’ have otherwise.
Alan Tuning’s story is one that I was able to relate to with Bennedict Cumberbatch doing a wonderful job portraying the character. Along with this gripping story the film also has the intense conflict of the codebreaking, is well acted, and well shot.
I would highly recommend this film to everyone especially anyone who felt like the black sheep growing up. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself on the screen and bring some tissues if you are emotional its not a happy story and if you are sensitive you will probably shed a tear.
Happy this film is getting Oscar buzz and wish it the best of luck at the Oscars as it deserves all the recognition it can get. As for Cumberbatch I hope this if the first of many excellent films eh will star in.
