The
Imitation Game, based on a true story of a legendary cryptanalysts that was
Alan Turing. I already knew Alan Turing because one of my best teachers in ICT shared
simple information about him, that he cracked the enigma code and considered to
be the greatest mathematician in the world. But when I saw the movie The
Imitation Game, I was so amazed yet so sad because I never knew that Alan
Turing really had a lot of struggles in his life since he was a kid, he was so
smart and really determined of aiming something that he never encountered
before and that was the ENIGMA MACHINE. Alan Turing wanted to try solving the
impossible problem in the world. The Enigma machines were a series of
electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines developed and used in the early- to
mid-twentieth century to protect commercial, diplomatic and military
communication. They want to crack it for the war will last as soon possible.
The movie
was so inspiring because even though sometimes there’s a part that you couldn't
understand, but the idea is there and it was amazing how a simple mathematician
professor crack the most impossible machine ever built. Of course he had a
little help and inspiration for solving it, that's why he built a machine that
can crack the enigma and named it "Christopher" the name came from
he's dearest friend that he got in love. Yes, I was shocked when I found out
that he is a homosexual, homosexual is prohibited in their country during the
World War II. When they found out the clue for cracking the code I was so excited
because I want to see how he does it, when he did it I felt like it’s really
unbelievable. But there are really some twists in this movie and felt like I
pity Alan Turing especially his struggles in life and his death at the age of
41 years old.
Alan Turing
is one of my hero, because not just he save a lot of lives during the World War II, but for his determination, intelligence, logical thinking that made his
creation like the machine " Christopher " that is now considered to
be a COMPUTER has many help and contributing big in our society today. Computers
are used today to store, retrieve, process, and transmit data and information
of all types, almost all the people today are using Computers because our
computer today can almost do what you really want the computer to do. Computer
is a powerful device and if it wasn't for Alan Turing, we've might not have
computers today. And that’s why Alan Turing also considered as the Father of Modern
Computers because it was him who started it all.
