Turing Was Nicer Than He Seemed in “The Imitation Game”
Although Alan Turing worked on cracking the Enigma code used by the Germans in WWII in the 2014 film “The Imitation Game,” the real-life Turing didn’t start working on the code until after Gordon Welchman tried cracking it. Also, actor Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed Turing in a way that made him seem a tad off-putting. But the real Turing was reportedly a friendly and approachable guy.
