I personally really like this movie because the story is
astonishing and the moral value from the
movie can motivate me to work harder. I like Benedict Cumberbatch since i
watched the first of Sherlock series episode and he played Turing very well in
the Imitation Game. The movies made me appreciate Alan Turing of his amazing
work. The Imitation Game deserve what it have achieved until now.
