The Imitation Game | When Bad Films Trick You Into Thinking They're Good

Okay, who's ready for me to get salty?

Alan Turing was, by all accounts, an incredible man. He accomplished so much in his criminally short life, and his achievements are indeed worthy of celebration. Unfortunately the film that tried to do that...

The Imitation Game rubbed me the wrong way when I saw it in cinemas, and I'm clearly not letting it go at this stage. And the irony of mentioning Elizabeth when I'm biasedly complaining about a historically inaccurate movie is not lost on me lol.

As an aside, I misattributed one of the quotes to Graham Moore when it was director Morten Tyldum. Graham's quote, as well as Morten's can be read in this link below:
