This movie is powerful,brilliant, and heartbreaking! I don’t often wish movies went on for longer but I did here! If I had actually seen this in 2014 it would have been my Number 1 pick for the year! At least the Academy got something right by nominating this movie , it is miles better than Boyhood and Birdman , and very similar to Foxcatcher with its bleak look at unhappy and lonely people ! Alan Turing is a genius and has never been a people person as he was so different from the other kids in school he was bullied. He had only 1 great friend named Christopher which he remembers so fondly he calls the code breaking machine Christopher in memory.
He and Keira Knightley are fast friends immediately, connected by their ability to do crosswords in 6 minutes ( impressed! takes me 10 minutes) and both being outcasts in their field , she being a woman in a mans job. When she says why are you helping me? He says a quote Christopher once said to him “Sometimes its the people nobody imagines of that can do the things no one can imagine!”
Turing has a secret that can’t get out as his superior is always looking for any reason to get fired , When it does, the injustice of how this war hero/code breaker was treated made me cry for 10 minutes! Only 2 movies a year have the power to do that these days. When I was a kid I would cry at anything!
I really hope Benedict Cumberbatch wins Best Actor for this , as you forget that he also plays Sherlock Holmes, he lives and breathes the tortured, vulnerable, brilliant Alan Turing.
I am glad he got a posthumous pardoning from Queen Elizabeth in 2013 , but he should have been respected when he was alive
Verdict 5/5 This movie is definitely worth owning on DVD
With the blockbuster season heating up it brings a smile to my face to see Star Trek Into Darkness finally arrive at my local theater! Being Star Trek fan from way back I really didn’t want to see the franchise rebooted but after seeing J.J. Abrams excellent Star Trek I was looking forward to seeing the franchise grow and what J.J. Abrams would have in store for us with the next installment. The cast is all back for Into Darkness Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock lead the way. How does Star Trek Into Darkness fair? Does it live up to the Star Trek name? Listen to our review and find out. Then email us your review moviemadnesspodcast@gmail.com or call the voice mail number 260-573-0015. We want your reviews so keep em coming!
