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!!
