Right at the fag end of the film, a brief but a very useful piece of
information is shared with the audience. Those three minutes itself is
more than inspiring and motivational. Based on a true story of Alan Turing,
a mathematical genius credited with breaking the Unbreakable Nazi code
machine titled Enigma during World War 2, The Imitation Game sounds like
a movie in the thriller genre but the reality is it is not. To be
precise, it is much more and much beyond that. No wonder, the movie has
been nominated under eight categories at this year's Oscars.
Turing's efforts with the help of fellow mathematicians in cracking the enigma code not only put an end to the war two tears earlier, it also helps in saving the life of millions. Also what he invented was later a platform for the invention of that machine called computer. Dealing with a serious plot, the movie has a touch of humour created mostly by performance and also aided by dialogues.
The film set in England in the early part of 1940's and also in 1950's, the narrative follow a two way approach of showing the present and going on flashback mode to connect the present and past. It didn't backfire and scripting takes care of that area without loosing any grip over the movie. The focus of the movie is Turing's childhood, the war period and the post war period.
Benedict Cumberbatch is in top form and no words can describe what he has done as Alen Turing. The emotions he need to portray is like a zigzag graph and he has acted each and every scene with such finesse. Supporting him was Keira Knightley as Turing's fellow mathematician and later his fiancee. Rest of the supporting casts also put up a fine show in making this movie an impressive one.
Technically too, The Imitation Game scores. Cinematography was not that bad while edits were smooth. Background score was impressive in creating a mood suiting each and every moment in the film.
Overall, it should be a learning experience of a brilliant work from a genius called Alan Turing. A truly impressive film in its own way, The Imitation Game is another movie in the must watch category. On the ratings, I go with four out of five and give a big thumbs up to director Morten Tyldum for his remarkable piece of work.
Rating - 4 / 5
