It is a true (or as true as Hollywood and history will allow) story of the role that <a title="Alan Turing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing" target="_blank">Alan Turing</a> played in cracking the German's Enigma code during World War 2. It also covered the impact his autism and homosexuality had on his life and sadly, early death. The "love" interest was in the shape of Keira Knightley who played Joan Clarke, a brilliant cryptologist and a friend of Turing who was able to interpret the world for him and him to his colleagues working at <a title="Bletchley Park" href="http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/" target="_blank">Bletchley Park</a>. It's an excellent film full of pathos and humour but ultimately quite sad. It gave us a lot to talk about; how things have changed in society during our lifetime. You don't have to be interested in computers to enjoy the film although it does help.
