If [The Imitation Game] does nothing else but send you, as it did me, to Alan Hodges's Alan Turing: The Enigma (1983, newly prefaced in the 2014 Princeton University Press edition) it more than justifies its existence. A great read, Hodges's intellectual biography depicts Turing as a brilliant mathematician; a crucial pioneering figure in the theorization and engineering of digital computing; and the biggest brain in Bletchley Park's Hut #8."—Amy Taubin, Artforum I read an earlier version of this book when it was available online. This was before the movie on Alan Turing came out, The Imitation Game, and I kept looking to see if the book would be published, to compliment the movie, but it was not. No. Andrew Hodges' biography states that Alan wrote to Joan and told her that he had been found out, but there is no mention of Joan coming to visit Alan. At the time of his letter, Joan was engaged to be married, as Keira Knightley's character is when she visits Alan (Benedict Cumberbatch) in the movie.

Stewart Menzies, the chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service, and John Cairncross, a Soviet spy, are two historical figures who appear in The Imitation Game despite the fact that neither worked closely with Turing. Menzies was, as the film suggests, responsible for passing decrypted Nazi strategies to Winston Churchill, but it’s highly unlikely he interacted individually with Turing (or most of the thousands of other codebreakers who worked at Bletchley Park over the years). Cairncross did pass intelligence from Bletchley Park to the Soviet Union, but he worked in a different unit from Turing’s, and there’s no evidence the two knew each other. Similarly, the filmmakers’ conceit that Menzies knew about and tolerated Cairncross’ duplicity isn’t supported by the historical record.

The drawing style, unfortunatey, didn't do much for me, and often detracted from what the book was showing, and from some of the ways it went about exploring what may have been Turing's thoughts: wandering in his own mind, following a trail of paper leading to other great minds like Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, all the while with Turing's colleagues and friends trying to follow him, follow the trail, but clearly never managing to really catch up... I found it to be an interesting representation of what may otherwise have been tedious. (There's some science in there, too, and it can easily become confusing to someone who's not overly familiat with concepts behind Turing's works.) Por un lado tenemos el tema, que a veces es algo complejo. Por otro, el guion no ayuda y al autor no parece importarle si te pierdes en su juego narrativo (¿quién está hablando y de qué? ¿Qué significa ese gesto?). Además, con ciertas conversaciones es muy difícil traducir de forma coherente, aunque hay alguna traducción que tiene delito (supongo que en un bocadillo ponía «A-are... you...[okay]?» y en lugar de «¿Es-estás... [bien]?» ponen «¿E-eres tú...?»). Total, que a veces es un tremendo galimatías que no hay por donde cogerlo. Tal vez de ahí viene el título. The various narrators employed - relatives, friends, lovers, work colleagues - add layers to Turing’s biography, both personal and professional elements. The narrators are depicted as ghosts from his past, telling parts of Turing's story - from childhood to death - to an interviewer, each from their own potentially unreliable perspectives. Or sharing their own particular memories and insights. Turing's mother is a chief narrator, and his brother John gives brief input. Narrators from Turing's time at Bletchley Park include his mathematician friend Joan Clarke (to whom he was briefly engaged), Dilly Knox, Hugh Alexander and others. Winston Churchill puts in appearance, and in one particular scene, Turing has a bit of an imaginary debate with pioneering programmer Lady Ada Lovelace.

Turing is difficult to work with, and considers his colleagues inferior; he works alone to design a machine to decipher Enigma messages. After Denniston refuses to fund the construction of the machine, Turing writes to Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who puts Turing in charge of the team and funds the machine. Turing fires Furman and Richards and places a difficult crossword in newspapers to find replacements. Joan Clarke, a Cambridge graduate, passes Turing's test but her parents will not allow her to work with the male cryptographers. Turing arranges for her to live and work with the female clerks who intercept the messages and shares his plans with her. With Clarke's help, Turing warms to the other colleagues, who begin to respect him. Though the investigation and the coroner's verdict ruled the death a suicide, some believe that the death was caused by the accidental inhalation of cyanide fumes from a device used for electroplating spoons with gold. Turing's mother, Ethel, also believed his death was accidental ( Alan Turing: The Enigma). "His mother wrote to me," says the real Joan Clarke, "and she said that although it was a verdict of suicide, she believed it an accident, and of course, his method was chosen to make it possible for some at least to believe that." -BBC Horizon In November 2014, ahead of the film's US release, The New York Times reprinted the 1942 puzzle from The Daily Telegraph used in recruiting codebreakers at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. Entrants who solved the puzzle could mail in their results for a chance to win a trip for two to London and a tour of Bletchley Park. [37]Sperling, Nicole (June 5, 2014).

The breaking of the Lorenz cipher, codenamed "Tunny", arguably made just as important a contribution to Ultra intelligence as the breaking of Enigma, and breaking Tunny was in many ways more difficult. Neither the Tunny effort nor its main contributors, mathematician W. T. "Bill" Tutte and electrical engineer Tommy Flowers, are mentioned in the film. The Colossus computer they built goes unmentioned by name in the film, although there is an implicit suggestion that Turing was responsible for it, which he was not. [86] Really well done. Not super uplifting. I learned things. Annnnnd not all of those things were things I wanted to know.W]hen the camera at the end of the film has those beautiful shots of the young boy, the young Alan, and he's meeting with the professor who's telling him his friend Christopher is dead, and the camera is pushing in on him, I play Christopher's theme that we heard very early on in the film. There's a simple continuity there. It's the accumulation of these moments that I can slowly but surely play that make it even stronger.
