Hello and welcome or welcome back to my blog! This post will be about a movie, The Imitation Game. This movie is about World War 2 and the breaking of German messages. This movie is a drama and it was released in 2014. The imitation game is focused on British math genius, Alan Turing. He and other mathematicians and code breakers are recruited by the British government. Shortly thereafter they put a crossword puzzle in the newspaper to fill an open position in the program. Once the finalists from the crossword puzzle show up and a woman is in the mix, many people discredit her and fight to take her out of the running. Turing realizes how much potential she has and fights for her to get the job, going as far as to going to her parents' house to convince them that she will be doing a "women's job". After they are convinced she accepts the job and comes to work with the men, attempting to break the German codes. The film continues on with the two working together with and against the others to combat many prejudices and people working against them and their ideas. 
To prevent giving you any spoilers that is where I will stop on the description of the film and move on to the historical accuracy. This movie begins in 1939. The movie is pretty historically accurate with most of the people and story-lines involving those people accurate. Some details, such as the development and creation of Turing's "new machine"(the machine was actually developed by another cryptographer years earlier, although it was Turing's idea to use the machine to out rule letters). Other details involving prejudices against women and homosexuals are pretty historically accurate with those ideas prevalent at the time.
I hope that you have a great rest of your day and that you enjoyed this post. I would strongly recommend this film and hope you check it out as it is currently available on Netflix. Thank you for reading this blog post as it is pretty lengthy!
This is a pretty decent post in my opinion. My issue with this is that sometimes it feels a bit shallow, with your actual opinions being hard to find. If you explain why you like the movie (and even explain certain parts that you liked/disliked), I feel as though this post would've been top-notch. That aside, this was a nice synopsis of the movie, and I might watch it some time. :)
