Hypocrisy.He was good enough to save lives BUT was denied the freedom to live his own. Pitiful.

@trevortrevortsr2 Hi, FWIW I'm a trained historian, emphasis 1871 Franco-Prussian War (the predicate to the Great War), to the end of Cold War. I believe no single person had more of a vital impact & was personally as totally irreplaceable as Alan Turing. Without Alan Turing, the U-Boats would have been active when trying to prepare for ‘Overlord’ & therefore D-Day would likely have been delayed one year minimum, possible 2 or more. Vin

Did you catch the playon Broadway?

I can't conceive why the producers of the film left out Turing's monologue at the beginning of Act 2 or the stirring ending and the lines,

"Dip the apple in the brew, Let the sleeping death seep through."

The playwright suggested Turing died conducting as experiment to see if consciousness could exist without the body. If so, perhaps "Christopher" still existed in some way.
