       这是一部讲述“电脑之父” 阿兰图灵(Allen Turing)故事的电影,它集中描述了图灵在二战中,通过创造性的发明电脑的原型而破解了纳粹德国的恩尼格密电码,从而大大的提高了战争中的指挥效率和大幅减少人员损耗。可是,因为是同性恋的身份,他被强迫进行治疗,而且在五十年后才得到政府的表彰。

      
     圖靈除了是「電腦科學之父」,他也在發明電腦的同時,提出電腦是否具有心智的議題。在他1950年的一篇論文《電腦與智能》(Computing Machinery and Intelligence),開篇就問及:「機器能否思考?」,在該論文中,圖靈認為此問題之所以難解,乃是因為我們對於「機器」與「思考」沒有一個明確定義。他認為應該要打破許多常規對此二者的定義。於是他開始反駁在當時的常規與常識裡,一般人會從神學、情緒、數學、主體、能力、神經……超能力等九種出發立場,加以否定機器能思考的態度。
     這部片敘事流暢,描寫精準高明,在詮釋男主角的天才型性格上,對白和劇情有相當細膩且詼諧的設計,好看又ㄧ針見血,若不知道何謂亞斯伯格症,看完這部片便能快速體會,他們是多不懂人類社會,但是當你面對這樣的人時,要脫好幾層皮才能有同理心去體諒他的苛刻。
     该电影的编剧Graham 在奥斯卡领奖时的发言也颇值得一读。 
      Here's Imitation Game writer Graham Moore's Oscars acceptance speech. Full text below.

      Alan Turing never got to stand on a stage like this and look out on all these disconcertingly attractive faces. And I do. And that's the most unfair thing I think I've ever heard. And so in this brief time here what I want to use it to do is say this. When I was 16 years old I tried to kill myself, because I felt weird, and I felt different, and I felt like I did not belong. And now I'm standing here. And so I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she's weird or she's different or she doesn't fit in anywhere: Yes you do. I promise you do. Stay weird, and then when it's your turn, and you are the one standing on this stage, please pass this message one.

       很多亚裔的孩子因为学业突出,爱好科学,在学校里被边缘化,孩子们感觉很沮丧,我们应该鼓励他们,“stay wired,stay different”,you don't have to convince other kids, be the best version of yourself.

       自古英才多磨难,是给孩子做挫折教育的好电影。适合带孩子一起看,有积极阳光的东西可以分享,有些晦涩难懂的也可以讲解。当然有些内容见仁见智,不必苟同。
