What I do know is that this law had a huge impact on many male lives. I think prison was more common than chemical castration. Do you know what happened to the other men prosecuted under this law? Turing eventually went through chemical castration and then committed suicide. So we added all this red cabling that was sort of like the blood veins of something that is alive. We also wanted to emphasize that it was more than a machine for Alan. It’s this incredible design with all of these colorful dials in red and yellow-that’s how it was. How do we communicate that onscreen without making it a lecture? By naming the machine Christopher.Ĭould you talk a little bit about the effort that went into re-creating all the details in the computer? We know that from his journals, his obsession about recreating a consciousness that he lost-Christopher.
We know this because he wrote letters to Christopher’s mom his whole life. Here’s the fact though: The machine was inspired by Christopher. One thing people have been saying is it’s not accurate that the machine he built was named Christopher.
Though he left some of the best odd details he learned about Turing out of the film-”He was allergic to pollen, so he used to wear a gasmask sometimes in meetings without telling anybody why,” for example-Tyldum says the overall arc of the film is true to Turing’s life. Though The Imitation Game (like other some of the other biopics that stand a chance to win an Oscar this weekend) has come under fire for historical inaccuracies and not delving deeply enough into Alan Turing’s sexuality, the Oscar-nominated director says that emotional accuracy was very important to him while making the film.
