So this past week was a blast in the USA...a reunion of friends. Apart from noticing that Oregon looks very much like a 1:25 scale version of a 1:50 scale Scotland the weather was similar too...
One of the advantages of flying, apart from seeing the Northern Lights from the plane, was time to watch a handful of movies...
First up over Greenland, was 'The Imitation Game'.
I think the movie poster says it all. I really like that the lead character is shown facing away from the audience, fully absorbed in his obsession.
Moments of this film, which is a true story about the genius Alan Turing, who cracked the Enigma code during WWII, were reminiscent of 'A Beautiful Mind'. The lead was not implied as being insane, but certainly gifted in an extraordinary way. The acting was very convincing and the art direction was invisible. Always, a good sign that the design is well thought out. The sets and locations were pretty subdued both in terms of lighting and colour, and this really added to the authenticity....
The real Alan Turing
