Anyone like The Imitation Game

During World War II, mathematician Alan Turing tries to crack the enigma code with help from fellow mathematicians.

It was a terrific movie, well paced and exciting, especially considering that the core of the story was a whole bunch of techy-geeky mathematics that they kept off screen almost entirely in favor of telling a human story about a brilliant mind confronting a daunting and allegedly unsolvable problem. Along the way, Alan Turing not only managed to win World War II with his invention, he basically invented the computer itself, the "Turing machine." Also, the "Turing test," which figures prominently as part of the plot structure.
On top of being an exciting and engrossing story that is not nearly well enough known, even within the gay community, the movie also sets off a few explosions about justice and decency in terms of the "crime" of "gross indecency" and how Victorian era remnants today continue to leave their past shameful behavior unatoned.

I thought it was wonderful. Thankfully, Turing is now getting the worldwide recognition he deserves. He was treated appallingly by his own country.

Amazing movie, no words to describe, Alan Turing made me think about Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, these kind of unsocial genious, so smart, so determinate and so right, the machine he made at this time we call them now computers, a movie that have to be seen by the whole world, to have a lesson about the right to be different.
This guy made the world war by himself, and society rewarded him by killing his soul with drugs, what a lesson of gratitude

I cried watching the movie and even more when the Queen gave him the Royal Pardon.
Never felt more prod to be gay!!!!!!
