About the story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The mode of \u201cgenius + war + gay\u201d love.<\/p>\n

The Imitation Game<\/strong><\/em> was adapted from Alan Turning: The Enigma<\/strong><\/em>, which is a biography that was written by Andrew Hodges. It tells the story of the legendary life of Alan Turing, the father of computer science.<\/p>\n

The story takes place during WWII. Because the Allies were baffled by \u201cEnigma,\u201d German\u2019s coding system, the government rounded up a group of mathematicians and logicians to work on the secret codes. Alan Turing was one of them. He had an exceptional talent, but his temper was odd. He was repelled by his coworkers, which caused multiple problems at work. Thanks to Joan Clarke, though, with her encouragement, Alan was able to break the ice with his colleagues, and eventually, he developed the prototype of the computer that would save tens of millions of lives. However, years after WWII, Alan \u2018s homosexuality was exposed, and the British government convicted him of being a homosexual. In place of serving a prison sentence, Alan chose chemical castration as punishment.<\/p>\n

About love<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the surface, The Imitation Game<\/strong><\/em> tells a tale that requires a large amount of constant thinking, but the vague \u201cLove Storyline\u201d is buried inside of the main storyline.<\/p>\n

Due to his high IQ, the protagonist, Alan, lacked social skills. As a kid, nobody befriended him, and he was teased maliciously by kids going to the same school with him \u2014 until he met Christopher. It was because of Christopher that Alan\u2019s childhood became bright again. Unfortunately, Christopher died of an illness before he could graduate from school. Alan and Christopher were parted forever, and Christopher became a permanent fixture in Alan\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n

What was more tragic was that Alan, who successfully saved a lot of lives during the war, was not heralded as a hero. And while he was under house rest, he began to talk to himself and his computer, calling the machine \u201cChristopher.\u201d in front of the computer named Christopher. At the end of the movie, Alan ate an apple laced with cyanide and died in his own home. At the last second, when Alan bit into the poisonous apple, he was probably thinking about Christopher.<\/p>\n

About LGBT Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We cannot forget the desperate look on Alan\u2019s face when he decides to embrace death. It is the most painful moment in the movie. Alan named the computer after his first love, and he agreed to chemical castration so that the government would not take the computer away. Alan had saved a lot of lives, but he died because of the prejudice the public had concerning who he loved.<\/p>\n

Love is supposed to be the affection between one soul and another, and not how one organ reacts to another organ. A good LGBT Story should be, at first, a good romance. The war, illness, and public bias can all be used to set up difficulties for protagonists, so the story will become more intriguing and moving. We love LGBT Stories because we love the pure and passionate emotions that break through established concepts.<\/p>\n
