The Imitation Game follows the story of mathematician Alan Turing and his life revolving around cracking enigma. The movie opens in post World War II England after a break in at Alan Turing’s home. The story of cracking enigma begins as Mr. Turing’s interrogation begins. Throughout the flashbacks into cracking enigma the movie shows the audience further time jumps to Mr. Turing’s childhood. In Mr. Turing’s childhood he is bullied and harassed‚ but when he meets Christopher and is introduced to cryptography

using a machine called enigma‚ it also shows an accurate depiction of Bletchley Park and the work of cracking enigma and the things they did to ensure that nobody found out about their work‚ and it also accurately focuses on Alan Turing and his work on creating a machine to instantly crack messages. The Nazis used the extremely complex enigma code for communication purposes. The British worked on cracking enigma at Bletchley Park and were very secretive about their

Alan Turing was an English codebreaker stationed in Bletchley Park‚ Englands codebreaking center. Even though he was stripped of his reputation later in life‚ his modification of the Bomba‚ as well as his other contributions‚ saved more lives and shortened the war more than any other effort. He broke the German Naval Enigma code‚ as well as adding the vital modifications to the Polish “Bomba” that brought about the English “Bombe” that saved so much time and so many lives throughout the war. Some

Introduction Humans live with secrets. Some of those succeeded in keeping them hidden to their graves‚ while others might not be as fortunate. For centuries‚ humans were tortured and many were killed either for keeping or revealing them. One of the fears and struggles that one must keep is the deepest personal information: their sexual orientations. Those who have “different” sexual orientations from the generally known and accepted by the society have to live in shadows and try to blend in among

vessels. Lots of people died during these targeted timely attacks. British government somehow managed to get an Enigma machine when they attacked a German submarine. British government then started a secret mission‚ under the name station X‚ at Bletchley Park‚ to crack the code. It consisted a team of handpicked mathematicians and graduate scholars including Alan Turing. Turing and his team were under extreme pressure to come up with some way‚ either the mathematical or mechanical to crack the enigma

A Biography of Alan Turing‚ with Mathematics. From the middle name one may suspect a certain class value‚although the "Math" bit is a strange coincidence. His father went to Oxford and then worked for the Indian Civil Service. His mother’s father also worked in India. He was born in 1912‚ their second son. 1926 his father retired so perhaps he had something of normal family life from then on. Went to Sherborne‚ one of older public schools. Whilst there he became a close friend of Christopher

This would not completely solve the message‚ but it could help the code breakers in determining how the machine was set up for that day. Since it was impossible to decode these messages by hand‚ Turing‚ along with the other cryptologists at Bletchley Park adapted the Polish Bombe machine. A bombe was also an electromagnetic device that was set up similar to the enigma. The bombe was created to determine which rotor was in place‚ and the order of the rotors. This machine consisted of twelve different

contributed to Alan falling in love with Christopher. Christopher was his one true love. Unfortunately for Alan‚ Christopher had bovine tuberculosis and didn’t tell Alan. So when Alan lost Christopher‚ he was devastated. When Alan started working at Bletchley Park and came up with a machine that might help crack every single machine coming from the Enigma‚ he named the machine Christopher. His machine reminded him of his best friend. He had lost his friend suddenly and did not get to say goodbye. Naming
