The Imitation Game Review.

Brilliant! Spectacular! The story of the year. A beautiful story of a tortured man told through beautiful cinematography, acting, writing and pure love, frustration and perfection by all involved.

The film is about the work of World War II code breaker and mathematician Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch - Sherlock, Star Trek into Darkness). It touches on the beautiful relationship between Alan and fellow code breaker and mathematician Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley - A Dangerous Method, Atonement). It is a thoroughly thought out piece of drama that dramatizes aspects of Alan's childhood with the love of his life to his work to Bletchley Park to his questioning at the  police station about his homosexuality.

If you want to know about the British Film Industry, this is the film for you. For me, this film celebrates the beauty of the British Film Industry with the best British actors, locations and crew. It beautifully foretells the story of a tortured war hero who lost the love of his life at a young age and then was mistreated by the government of the time for being homosexual. I believe that this is because the director Morten Tyldum understood that this is a story of British History which needed to stay with its home - Great Britain, British actors and actual real locations from the actual stories. I must say that the beauty of this film is helped by the all British ensemble made up of phenomenal actors Allen Leech and Matthew Goode to name just a few. This is the film for Britain to be proud but for British people to be proud of their heritage.

It is my belief that this film is a true celebration of individuality, because it is about the portrayal of a man who sticks to his individuality. The film creates these beautiful characters brings a fresh new reality to a story EVERYONE has to know and appreciate the brilliance of.

Every single actor and actress in the film, should feel proud for creating this beautiful story. The lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch understood the brilliance and vulnerability of this person is so utterly memerizing to the point I was hanging on his every word of his portrayal. I think Cumberbatch increased his game because he had the ultimate leading lady in Keira Knightley who portrayed Alan's Turing's best friend and love interest Joan Clarke. I loved Keira's portrayal because not only did she understand Joan, she understood the beauty of the relationship. I hope the Academy sees the beauty of this film and not only award the film but these two phenomenal actors who deserve every single piece of recognition for their portrayals. For me, this is the pair's year for EXTREMELY HAPPY TIMES.

Pure beauty and excellence which celebrates a war hero with elegance and style. The film you all must see!!

Heroes.

For my hero he knows who he is and he knows who he is and he knows he is stuck with me no matter what. 

Heroes don’t grow on trees,
But they are a special seed.
They blow in the breeze,
But they stay there forever and ever.

They care with all their hearts,
Even with their own battles.
You can hear their voices coming out through the anguish, pain and the screams.
They are always there for ice creams too.

They live for others through their hardships.
They smile at you as if it is second nature,
even though they struggle to smile at you.

Heroes are rare, unique and totally special.
Heroes are brought from heaven,
with a huge heart of gold.

Heroes appreciate the little things,
Which makes you appreciate them even more to the point,
You say you love them at least once a day.

I love my hero, forever in my heart.

Sensing love to all your heroes ahead of this Remembrance Day.  xxx

Remembrance Day - A Time for Family.

I found myself surprisingly reflective this Remembrance Sunday. I was grateful of what I have because for so many young people. War has changed their lives. They live without a parent for months on end sometimes over Christmas or a Birthday. Then in the worst case they may have had to grow up without their Mum or Dad. They are my inspiration because to grow up without your parents from a young age must be daunting and scary all in one with what young people have to adjust too without it., I thought I am so grateful for my family the fact that we celebrate everyone's birthday with a family meal and spend Christmas together.

Then I thought it is great to be grateful, thankful and inspired. Then there is the fact that so many servicemen and servicewomen come home expecting their life to go back to way it was, but it doesn't. It is not just the fact that these soldiers only get paid £20,000 - £40,000 dependent on the rank with the majority being £20,000. They protect countries and young people from dangerous situations. They have to then come back to reality unable to work. It is great that we have the Invictus Games but can every solider afford to be a part of this phenomena.

Let celebrate these amazing individuals who are or have protected their country and fought in their country's name. I shall never forget how fortunate I am.

Happy Remembrance Day!
