The prompts: (pick one only)
- This film is a historical drama, not a documentary. The film depicts Turing as having Asperger-like traits (social awkwardness and inability to work with others), but the real Turing was sociable, had a sense of humor, and worked well with others. Why do you think the film depicted Turing this way, and how does it affect your perception of him?
- Turing and his team make a difficult decision in keeping the secret that they broke Enigma. How does the film portray the ethics of this situation, and are you sympathetic toward Turing and his team for what they did?
- How does the historical context of the film relate to the technology created? How does the invention of this technology reverberate through other contemporary films dealing with this kind of technology?
- How are women portrayed in the film? Why are they portrayed in this way?
