- "Imitation Game" is the first English film directed by Morten Tedum.
- Because of the depth of the scene, Benedict Cumberbatch could not restrain his trembling and crying during the last few scenes of the film.
- Cumberbatch and Alan Turing’s family are actually related by blood, but dating back to the 14th century, they are the 17th representative. At the same time, Cumberbatch graduated from the University of Manchester, and Turing happened to be the deputy director of the University of Manchester Computer Laboratory.
- Cumberbatch talked about Turing's "royal pardon" by the Queen of England in 2013. He believes that the only person who is eligible to pardon anyone is Turing himself, and hopes that this movie will make people aware of his greatness and the horror of the persecution he has suffered. This is a history of shame.
- Matthew Goody described the content of the film in this way, focusing on Turing’s life and how the British castrated him to praise his great contribution in the war.
- British Prime Minister Churchill once said that Turing should be most grateful for the victory in World War II.

- The Turing machine "Christopher" seen in the film is a replica, and the real Turing machine is placed in Bletchley Park. The copy is larger than the original, and is more suitable for showing internal machine parts in the movie.
- Due to the restrictions of the British road management law, the scene of London being attacked by air in the film must be filmed on Sunday. When the shooting was ready, the talents in the art department remembered that they had forgotten to prepare the rubble props.
- In the film, Keira Knightley pronounced the name "Euler" as "Euler", but in fact its correct pronunciation in German should be "Oiler".

In a highly condensed biopic, I can only see a lonely, paranoid, and communicative gay genius who is covered in labels. I see his experience and thoughts are miraculously linked together in the plot, and I see the air-raid shelter. The crossword puzzle of the whole people, and the voice of sexuality and gender equality desperately squeezed out in the cracks between war and decryption. If he can only be commemorated by this kind of movie, he will probably grow a long face many years later...

Turing wrapped in multiple moral dilemmas, the fate of the characters is embarrassing, is it a god or a freak? The espionage type is embedded in the biographical core and is cleverly linked to solve the three parallel tediousness. After all, Oscar seeds are betting on values, professional ethics and identity secrets, and national collective and private desires. The confrontation in the bright, the dark night sees the light, the raging fire, the curtain pierces the heart.

Alan Turing: [after telling the story] Now you decide: Am I a machine? Am I a human? Am I a war hero? Or am I a criminal?
Detective Robert Nock: I can't judge you.
Alan Turing: Well, then. You were of no help to me at all.

Alan Turing: Of course machines can't think as people do. A machine is different from a person. Hence, they think differently. The interesting question is, just because something, uh... thinks differently from you, does that mean it's not thinking? Well, we allow for humans to have such divergences from one another. You like strawberries, I hate ice-skating, you cry at sad films, I am allergic to pollen. What is the point of... different tastes, different... preferences, if not, to say that our brains work differently, that we think differently? And if we can say that about one another, then why can't we say the same thing for brains... built of copper and wire, steel?

This isn't a movie review, it's an explanation that you can't calm your mind five minutes after watching the movie.

Several facts in the movie are wrong, the machine is called Bombe, not Christopher

I was going to write a short review, but found that some are too long
