Movie review : The Imitation game

A marvellous film that will stay with you for a long long time.

Set in the 1930-51, the movie is about an Engilsh mathematician (Alan Turing) and his associates who work on breaking and decoding  the encryption German machine ENIGMA and help end the second world war.

But the film is so much more both in terms of the narrative and the content. The lead protagonist is the heart of the film and his tussle as he goes on decoding the ENIGMA is both intriguing and captivating. His emotional undertone and turmoil is absolutely heartwrenching.

The movie inspired by true events is a delightful watch as it has a genuine urgency to the proceedings, the characters are beautifully written and the dialogues weigh their worth in gold. The entire last half an hour is so beautiful and literally had me in tears.

Highly recommended
