The Imitation Game

[El Dingo]

I liked it too.

I wish they had gone into more detail about the code breaking attempts. Anyone who has done a cypher puzzle knows to look for a common word first. The movie implied they broke the code by looking for










[SPOILER ALERT]





























"Heil Hitler"

If I was trying to break a German code during WWII, 'Hitler' may have been one of the first words I would look for.

They briefly said the 'key' word was the pet name of the German officer's girlfriend, but never mentioned it again.

Anyway, I realize the message of the movie was the persecution of Turing and thought it was well acted and engaging.
