Derek Jacobi - Breaking the code *Mathematics*
Loading...
Uploaded by rosapurpurea on Apr 7, 2008
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...

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!

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.

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

I was enchanted the first time I saw this, I knew the movie, but I had the US version, where this masterpiece had been cut and words replaced with music...
