The Imitation Game
Loved the movie, though it was a somber, perhaps even depressing flick to see on Valentines day.
Benedict Cumberbatch did a nice job.
It seems many in the theatre didn't know much about Alan Turing, because there were dozens of gasps at the movies conclusion, and this in the San Fran area!
Like typical 'historical dramas' it takes many factual liberties, so it isn't a detailed history lesson by any means. The real people, events differed from real life, are sometimes nearly the oposite..

Look for a 1992 BBC programme called "The Strange Life and Death of Dr. Turing" or CODEBREAKER for a more accurate picture on Turing.
I think I'm gong to have to get the Soundtrack, it sounds like it has some inspiration from Samuel Barber.

Incidentally, we have two four-rotor Kriegsmarine Enigmas here in Chicago...along with the submarine they were taken from, hah!
She shares the museum with the Pioneer Zephyr, the first locomotive to break the Century mark, the Apollo 8 Command Module, and one of only two JU-87 Stukas left in the world. I need to get back there with some high-speed film.
