Underrated Film

This movie is an outstanding capture of the World War II era that really shackles the message to the audience. We have many social issues that are dominantly seen throughout this constrictive time period of all minorities. The main character, Alan Turing, is a salient historical figure that really catalyzed the victory of the NATO alliance. Through his mathematical genius ways, he was able to crack down a code that no man could ever do in that time period. But unfortunately, many people in that time period looked past his heroic ways and focus on something that does not hinder a persons internal being. He was a closeted gay man in a time where being gay was more of a malicious thing than being an Russian spy. This movie depicts gay people as heroes in society that really get the short end of the stick. After such victory in war you'd think they would build a monument by Turning, but instead they forced him into conversion therapy. Harsh medications that caused him to ultimately lose his mind. What horrible people they were to treat a war hero like that. Not only is this film brilliant in depicting gay people as heros in society, they also depict females as intellectual victors. The female lead, Joan Clarke, is a fierce lady that does not let her gender dictate what she can and can't do in life. World War II was a ground breaking moment in history for the emergence of women in the work force. She worked along side of Alan Turning in creating a master piece of coding. Imitation Game does an outstanding job in showcasing the struggle women went through during the time of war and how their labor was truly needed. Now if you haven't seen imitation game, I highly recommend. It's a great history film that really allures the audience in with its organicness to that era.
