Re: The Imitation Game
Just booked three tickets for Sunday, for me and my fellow Benaddicts. I'm excited, everyone is telling me handkerchief are required.

Re: The Imitation Game
Have a great time Ivy! handkerhiefs are very, very much needed!
I'm going to see it again at the actual premiere on the 29th... and going to go alone this time.
I'm glad I had my friend with me... but sadly she has a habit of commenting during the film pulling me out of certain things.
I just hope this film wins an award, I wanted it to before I saw it and now I just know it has to win something!

Re: The Imitation Game
Thought I'd put this here.
Just seen a docu-drama on ' Yesterday' : 'Codebreaker'.
It really was an excellent telling of the Alan Turing story and actually made The Imitation Game a lot clearer to me.

Re: The Imitation Game
So this is very good news:
And it makes me proud that it was to a great extent this film that brought the public attention and commitment which finally made this possible. Not just for Alan Turing but all the men who were victims of this horrible law.

Re: The Imitation Game
It is good! Too bad so many, if not all of them, have not lived to see this.
Clueing for looks.

Re: The Imitation Game
Better late than not at all. And in Germany there will be a law soon which is going to pay damages to and rehabilitate men sentenced under the notorious § 175 for having consensual sex.

Re: The Imitation Game
I will never understand why it would be illegal with consensual sex between adults. It's really no one's business who decides to have whatever type of sex with whomever as long as everyone involved is consenting and adult. Or so I think anyway.
Good news, though!

Re: The Imitation Game
I heard this on the news the other day. I suppose it's part of Turing's already impressive legacy that he (unknowingly!) helped bring this about.
