Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
I have heard good things about this film. However, "From the producers of X" is a pretty shit lure! You might as well say, "From the people that paid for X but had no real creative input and couldn't get the same incredible director to work on this monstrosity."

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
The local library has had this for a while but I'd always passed it by. The American DVD cover made the film look like rubbish. But I started watching it last night and it's actually pretty good.Animavore wrote:

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Just watched The Imitation Game. Bollockbag Clunkersnatch was rather good and very un-Sherlocky. The whole thing was typically sentimentalised but not a bad yarn for all that. Worth watching.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Woulda been better if they had spent their time on the cryptographic triumph rather than turning it into a morality play about homosexuality. It's very sad that the UK government criminalized homosexuality at the time, but it's entirely irrelevant to the story of breaking the Enigma code. But they just couldn't resist the siren lure of political correctness over historical fact.Xamonas Chegwé wrote:Just watched The Imitation Game.

It might be fun to watch the recent movie about how the Enigma machine was captured before seeing The Imitation Game again. I think it was called "U-571" or something similar.

From Wikipedia...Seth wrote:It might be fun to watch the recent movie about how the Enigma machine was captured before seeing The Imitation Game again. I think it was called "U-571" or something similar.
By all meansd watch the film as a wartime romp. But, if that's where you get your historical data, watch out!The Allies captured Enigma-related codebooks and machines about 15 times during World War II. All but two of these actions were by British forces. The Royal Canadian Navy captured U-774 and the U.S. Navy seized U-505 in June 1944. By this time the Allies were already routinely decoding German naval Enigma traffic.

Indeed. And Seth ... if you do want to watch a wartime romp, may I suggest something with Trevor Howard, John Mills or Anthony Quayle?Xamonas Chegwé wrote:From Wikipedia...Seth wrote:It might be fun to watch the recent movie about how the Enigma machine was captured before seeing The Imitation Game again.
