The Imitation Game

6 April 2015

This is the 2nd film about a famous British scientists this year. Stephen Hawkin is probably better known to the public than Alan Touring. But Touring probably has changed our lives more than Hawkins.

Touring was one of the pioneers of theoretical computing and computing is now ubiquitous. The film is foremost a history lesson well told. It reminds us how much Western societies have changed in the past 60 years. The Imitation Game is better executed than The Theory of Everything. If you are deliberating to see one of the two films, see the one on Touring.
