By Tribute on December 31, 2014 | 94 Comments
The Imitation Game is turning heads during the award season this year, with several nominations from both The Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild. We’re giving you a chance to win one of four copies of Alan Turing: The Enigma, the biography, written by Andrew Hodges, about the historical mathematician who the film is based on.
Alan Turing was a key British figure in the end of WWII for his unmatched skills in codebreaking. His Turing machine, which led the way for developments in computer science and algorithms, successfully cracked several Nazi codes, leading to several key victories for the Allied forces. Despite his several key contributions to his country, in 1952 he was prosecuted for homosexual acts, which were illegal in the United Kingdom at the time. After he pled guilty, he was given the open of imprisonment or hormone treatments; he decided to take hormone treatments, which led to serious side effects, including impotence. Turing died of cyanide poisoning in 1954. The police determined that his death was a suicide.
In order to win this contest, comment with your favorite December theatre release.

Imitation Game: The imitation game clearly illustrates that the greatest achievements are by an individual not a committee. If Turing was less brilliant his ��superiors�� would have never given him a chance and only in those desperate WWII circumstances could his achievements be possible at all. Not only did he save more than 14 million or so lives but he laid the groundwork for the computer technology that now for better or worse dominates our age. The movie was very well done.

The Imitation Game… fabulous movie!
I disagree on your view about 3D, baucese if it is used on the right purpose it’s a cool enhancement. When writing this I think about Avatar On the high frame rate: I use it on my TV to smooth blu-ray movies, and I quickly got used to it. The image is more clear and I have the impression, that I’m able to perceive more details. Especially on wide camera angles (e.g. landscape-scenes). And I think the smoother the frame rate, the more natural it feels. But I don’t want to say 24p is dead or should be, there is a certain aestathic that still can give a movie an edge, e.g. a lot of action- and war-movies made use of stuttering’ frame rates to get a somewhat gritty look (for example when lot’s of debris and stuff flies around). So, I think there should be enough space for both 24p and 48p. On which I completely disagree: 48p looks like TV-soap . That’s crap, it’s only a justification by people who urge to hate the high frame rate technology. Why do I write that? Because especially with movies in high-def quality you quickly adjust to the higher framerate.On the Movie: I fully agree. It isn’t as epic as The Lord of the Rings and most of the dwarves are difficult to remember (not only their names), but I think that’s not a big setback, baucese most of them are fun by creating lots of funny scenes (dwarf inhaling flies and exhaling them while snorting, I laughed pretty hard on that one). It isn’t as serious as TLOTR, but it still is a movie both for young and old (although maybe not too young, for there are still some grim scenes here and there, and children might not be patient enough). And I fully agree on Joe’s statement on length’, character-developement’ and slower pace for better immersion.Great movie.
