The Genius of Turing

A trivia that I find interesting as an Indian is that his parents came from a background in the executive branch of the Indian government.

Both are recommended, individually or as a combination :-)

I hope the filmmakers are able to do him justice. He's such a giant and it would be great if more understood that.

No tension, no drama, no rhythm, no appeal to curiosity, no humour, just bored people enunciating facts and opinions in a bland way.

I wouldn't want it to start with a gloomy "In a wuuurld ...", but still, the trailers have evolved to their current format for a reason: they trigger interrest. If you want to bring Turing to the awareness of the masses, you must fight your attention grabbing peers on their field. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

I hope that they'll fix it soon, and that film will be less boring than this.

I'd praise Turing on his last work on self-organizing life. That's still not very well recognized and might be his most important contribution.
