Derek Jacobi - Breaking the code *Mathematics*

https://www.facebook.com/sirderekjacobi
Based on Andrew Hodges' book and Hugh Whitemore's play, this movie analizes the figure of the English mathematician Alan Turing, one of the inventors of the digital computer and of the key figures in the breaking of the Enigma code, used by the Germans to send secret orders to their U-boats in World War II.

This scene has been cut off from American release, can't understand why...

Ahahahah...that's naughty... :)

I suppose I understand the choice, but it was still a huge risk- choosing a man of nearly 60 to play chap in his 30s.

[rosapurpurea]

I agree...in fact he did it in theatre in 1985, more plausible then...I just let drop the idea and enjoy the acting :)

Breaking the Code: i saw this about 15 years ago on BBC 2. Cant find it any where now. Fantastic

[rosapurpurea]

I think BBC made a DVD few months ago...not sure though, try on Amazon UK

[improbabletruth]

EXACTLY. It still makes me burn with indignant rage, the injustice this brilliant man had to suffer for no crime at all, and how much we lost when we lost him. If he had been allowed to live in peace for many more years, who knows what new innovations we could've enjoyed? Such a tragic loss!

[TheTaskmaster]

this is one of the most amazing scenes i've seen in a long time, and i've seen some amazing movies lately

I love Alan Turing (not in sexual meaning rsrs)!

Eternal life to the true master of the Virtual Adepts. Thank you. 8)

You're right- it did; somewhat better in the mid-eighties- but I can suspend disbelief for the sake of this performance.

[metteholm75]

But it worked!

[melongabg]

had to watch this during a class while we were studying Turing, his machine, human-computerized thought, etc. It was cool about 45 seconds into it. then...

[gnamp]

good idea :)
