Imitation Game

 Ok, ok- the minion who looks like Issac from Love Boat wasn't in the Imitation Game but I needed something to cheer me up after the end of that film.  

It is an interesting story and I enjoyed the film but the last 15 minutes or so rather did me in to the point of liquid welling up in my eyes.  This mystery liquid did not spill onto my cheeks but there was some sniffing.  This liquid was for the treatment of Alan Turing -for everything he endured and  also the realization of how little we know how our own lives are governed and what very little control we have over it.  What will surface about our own time in 50 years when it's deemed 'safe' by the powers that be?  

Strong performances by a good cast- I loved the nerdy details and despite my horror at their solution, I can totally see why they had to arrive at that sad conclusion.  I can forgive that. The saying 'War is Hell' exists for a reason.  The treatment of Mr. Turing, though, I can not.  No excuse for it- especially after everything he gave for his country.  THAT is unforgivable.
