The Imitation Game 解碼遊戲



一部為二次世界大戰貢獻良多的Alan Turing平反的電影,故事精彩絕倫,講述製造電腦的先驅Alan Turing如何加入解碼行列,更披露他在破解德軍的Enigma後,有如上帝般主宰戰場上的士兵性命。

不過,我最喜歡的部分,卻是拍出當年對同性戀的歧視和打壓,還有女性當時在社會的地位,遭受到的性別歧視。而男女主角正正就是這些人,Joan Clarke連入試場考見工試都多次被拒。為了可以繼續工作,一展所長,放棄婚姻,跟同性戀的Alan Turing訂婚,來瞞過父母,不用被催促回鄉找個男人嫁。Alan Turing被發現是同性戀後,甘願服食荷爾蒙藥,導致手震,身體虛弱,都是為了完成製作他的電腦,名為Christopher來紀念他的兒時的心儀對象。他們為了生存和融入,各出奇謀,忍辱負重,不惜犧牲健康婚姻等等,來換取他們心目中的工作生活。

這電影不只是一場解碼遊戲,是為少眾人士發聲的一套電影,鼓勵他們努力,因為他們的不平凡,是可以改變世界,感染他人。就像戲內Joan ClarkeAlan Turing所講:

No one normal could have done that. Do you know, this morning, I was on a train that went through a city that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for you. I bought a ticket from a man who would likely be dead if it wasn’t for you. I read up on my work…a whole field of scientific inquiry that only exists because of you.

Now if you wish you could have been normal...I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren’t.
