Fragrance for the grandfather

I heard that there are many inconsistencies with history. For
example, Turing's interpersonal relationship is not very bad.
For example, when the Enigma was deciphered, the officer in charge of the institute was not a bat.
For example, they did not sacrifice a lot of people to deliberately conceal the fact that they had been cracked, but the Germans simply did not believe they could crack it.
For example, the machine is not called Christopher. .

Turing's most laudable state in his life should be the time when he was thinking of a deciphering machine, running and sticking notes on the wall. The quality that really enables scientists to solve problems is focus. Too bad it's only 5 minutes in the movie. The movie is romantic, so can't show too much about it.

What happened to him is why I hate working for the government and the military. I even hate working for a big company. No matter how daunting your rights are, no matter how great your reasons are. I just hate being bullied.

After reading it, I specifically checked Turing and Von Neumann. I feel like they can both be called grandparents. A Von Neumann machine feels like an electronic implementation of a Turing machine.

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?
