Question

i need psychology Summary about this Movie

(The Imitation game)

Answer 1

The film  is about a brilliantly clever mathematician who breaks an ‘impossible’ encrypted German code, ultimately leading to the Allies winning the war. It is estimated that the breaking of the “enigma” code led to the war being shortened by 2 years saving 14 million lives. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the man who is credited for breaking the code.The mood of the film was uplifting and inspirational and for me, there were central themes of strength, resilience and diversity. Somewhere along the line, despite all the bullying and loneliness of his childhood, Alan still finds the courage to find out who he is, what he is good at doing and all that he enjoys. Alan is lacking social skills, a loner and seen as eccentric, rude and arrogant.   But he is also mathematically brilliant, authentic, logical, and doggedly perseverant to his goal of cracking the code.  I think if we can learn to recognize strength in self and others, it will help us to embrace difference. It’s about accepting that we all have different strengths and we need to try and value what people bring, more than what they don’t bring.   Although this story was back in 1941 when homosexuality was illegal, but chemical castration was legal, I still don’t feel we would treat Alan much differently in 2015. The laws might be different but until we recognise how much people can offer, that we are all different and start to realise that people have strengths and weaknesses, thousands of people like Alan will feel totally alone and alienated and unable to offer and contribute to the world as Alan Turing did in this story.
