Imitation Game
cryptographers
Alan Turing and his team
had to understand the German communication (Enigma)
creation of a machine to defeat another one
there are millions of possibilities to decode Enigma
have to act quickly: every 24h, the code change
most of them are mathematicians
cryptanalists
code breakers
The historical context
during WWII
during the bombings of London
the Allies and the Axis
based on a true story
Germans had a machine (Enigma) which was a secret way to communicate
Alan Turing
he was one of the best mathematicians in the world
he's trying to break Enigma with his own machine
hero? criminal?
genius
proud and arrogant
The British authority
they put the pressure on them
secret (execution otherwise because it's considered high treason)
army/govermnent
they're reluctant
doubts in Turing's abilities to break Enigma
