I found out that Netflix has a category for movies that have won Oscars. My friends have not gone to the cinema often so they have never seen those films. Today I turned on the imitation game, about the breaking of the Enigma machine code during the second world war. Benedict Cumberbatch acts the character of Alan Turing, the genius mathematician who did it with the aid of other people. The movie is a real thriller and an intense film that gives a lot to think. A movie to watch.

That sounds like a very intense movie, one that would be worth seeing.

It is. And it is based on a true story.

Thanks for the heads up on the movie. I'll look it up. I have read about how the breaking of the enigma code gave the allies a huge advantage over the Germans in winning the war. But I am more interested in how this movie will portray Alan Turing's homosexuality for which he was prosecuted by the British government despite his contribution to the war effort.

I watched this movie for at least twice. I like this movie. It is based on the true story and this is why it is so attractive for me. Alan Turing is a genius but sadly his ending was like that. It is a loss for all human beings.
