Can we always tell if we're joking or serious?

I admire his language skills more than his math skills and his genius for creating computers.

He's an oddball in that regard.

If a friend asks him out, tell him we're going to lunch. Repeated it 20 times, and he was indifferent. When he was concentrating on his work, he took it literally. You just tell him, do you want to have lunch with us? He will answer you. Definitely like early computers.

So in addition to being unpopular, not getting the support of friends, and not being good at communicating with people, he has a special function - he won't lie. (Except the one time he turned down Knightley's engagement)

You will find that life is full of lies. Our company is a kind of lying, but also a kind of interruption, a gag: someone is worrying about his own business, and you ask him to do a 5-minute word puzzle.

We lie to comfort others, you have to let them forget the haze of cancer. Don't lie and the person you care about will die. Even though Turing was undergoing chemical castration, the British government put 50,000 people through it (mostly underground).

We want to cover up our true purpose, and when we tell the object of our love that you are not beautiful, it is also denying the truth. Sometimes in linguistics, the signified and the signifier are the exact opposite. The maximum tension of the Saussure dichotomy is reached. dichotomy

Hugh is the opposite of him, tall, handsome, and masters the art of flirting. It is the envy of human society: superior intelligence, good at communication, and both IQ and EQ are beyond the standard.

But when it comes to solving the problem of enigma, he has a ceiling, he will only deal with mathematics in terms of mathematics.

Languages ​​are possibilities, 10 million.

For enigma, it's 159 followed by 18 zeros.

There are several times in the plot, all because of interruptions and mutations.

For example, when Turing was 40 years old, he was caught having sex with a man, but the police officer asked him, do you think the computer can surpass the human brain?

Or when Allen brought Xiu to flirt, Xiu said, Allen had a theory. Something to say, completely different motivation from wanting to flirt.

This is our life.

We talk jokingly, and when serious.

Can we always tell if we're joking or serious?

From semantic overflow, or the split between signifier and signified, language produces polysemantics. Isn't it possible to have both of these situations?

So Zhuangzi is joking when he says that the sage has no dreams, and that the Dapeng bird soars up to 90,000 li?

Just as he can't tell the difference between dream butterflies, the vagueness of intelligibility is the greatest beauty in the world.

Turing's excellence In addition to this film, I also thought: no robot can pass the Turing experiment.

That is to say, it is the setter of machine IQ.

In the film, he said that the way of thinking between machines and humans is different, and maybe they can surpass humans in some aspects. This is the direction of his efforts, especially the speed of operation.

He became the man who defined our computer age.

great pioneer.

From the structure of the script, it is a double parallel structure.

At first glance it is a story of cracking a puzzle, Turing cracking a German cipher machine. you have to crack an enigma to create one. Then a demon group was formed, but there was no way to unite everyone. At this time, a key female figure appeared.

But parallel to it, how do we solve it, Turing himself is a puzzle. His genius, his character flaws, his homosexuality, his teenage memories.

We were like Freud, confronted with the material of his boyhood, analyzed it, and it all made sense. The film is done through a detective. And it acted like a suspense movie at first.

Precisely because the latter parallel problem is more difficult to solve and there is no way to reconcile it, Turing himself finally crashed.

This double helix is ​​the DNA of this film, and I personally think it is the best material to study linguistics.

The name imitation game comes from Turing's own book, a questionnaire that tests whether a robot or a human brain.

To imitate what? Are computers imitating human brains? Or was Turing's own human brain imitating a computer?

Are you talking to the human brain or the computer? Is it a machine or a human?

This double helix structure, explained in this way, is also feasible.

Origins are word games. until all the vocabulary becomes appropriate.

Yep, that's right!

Turing was just an inappropriate person who didn't know what to say on what occasion.

So his straightforward brain is almost like a computer. He's perfect for imitating the game.

    Before I was moved by Turing’s guardian, I was moved by KK. "So what? We are different from ordinary people. We love each other in our own way."

    Humans will kill geniuses they cannot understand. It is the people who are deemed useless to accomplish what no one can accomplish.

The Imitation Game quotes

  • Stewart Menzies: Burn everything.

    Hugh Alexander: Burn? Why?

    Stewart Menzies: You were told when you started this was a Top Secret program. Did you think we were joking?

    Hugh Alexander: But the war is over.

    Stewart Menzies: *This* war is. But there'Il be others.

    Alan Turing: And we know how to break a code that everybody else believes is unbreakable.

    Stewart Menzies: Precisely. Tear it down, light it up. Sweep away the ashes. None of you have ever met before. None of you have ever even heard the word "Enigma." Have a safe trip home.

    Stewart Menzies: [as they rise to go] Behave. With a bit of luck, you'll never have to see me or one another again for the rest of your lives...

  • Headmaster: [grilling young Alan about note-passing] You and your friend solve maths problems during maths class because the maths class is too dull?
