il film è stato girato nel 1996 per la
tv inglese.
la storia è quella di Alan Turing, morto
a soli 42 anni, nel 1954 (qui
una piccola biografia)
ad interpretare Turing è Derek Jacobi, davvero un
grandissimo attore.
appare anche Harold Pinter,
in una piccola parte..
il film affronta la vita di Alan dal
punto di vista umano e affettivo, in un’Inghilterra da inquisizione, in cui la
moralità uccide.
cercatelo, davvero ottimo cinema -

…It is
frequently very funny, always compassionate and provides real insight into the
dilemmas and problems homosexuality in a genius presents, not just to Turing
but to his family, his professional colleagues, and not least The State's
preoccupation with National Security - in the shape of one John Smith (Harold
Pinter), the mysterious 'Man from the Ministry'…
Avec Derek
Jacobi et le lauréat du prix Nobel de dramaturgie, Harold Pinter. Réalisé par Herbert Wise, le film
est basé sur une pièce de théâtre 1986 par Hugh Whitemore. (1996)
« Breaking the
code » est une biographie de l’mathématicien anglais Alan Turing, qui fut
l’un des inventeurs de l’ordinateur numérique et l’une des figures clés de la
rupture du code Enigma, utilisé par les Allemands d’envoyer des ordres secrets
à leurs sous-marins dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale . Turing était également un
homosexuel en Grande-Bretagne à une époque où c’était illégal, en plus d’être
un risque de sécurité.
…Apart from the intrinsic interest of the
subject, `Breaking the Code' is illuminated by a superb performance from Derek
Jacobi (with a hint of his 'I Claudius' stammer) who brilliantly conveys not
only Turing's fierce intelligence but also his enthusiasm for his discipline
and his need to pass on this passion to his colleagues…
I'm not interested in mathematics. Or the history of
the computer. Or indeed, homosexual politics. But I am concerned with the
talents, vicissitudes, suffering, blossoming, and achievements of human beings.
And this is a tale full of humanity - and drama, as that humanity, and the
talents and nature of Alan Turing are beaten down. The assault and damnation of
his sexual orientation amount to a pervasive crime. It's about as dramatic a
dynamic as you can find. And at the centre of it all: Derek Jacobi's remarkable
performance. Forget I Claudius and Hamlet, this is his finest hour.
Characteristically, he effortlessly takes us into the heart of Turing and
allows us to feel his cleverness and his pain. His tender, acutely-observed
performance induces us to rage, rage against the moon as this heroic character
is beleaguered by the mores of the era, and in doing so, the deft Jacobi has
somehow made the example of Turing one to benefit, push and shame mankind, as
well as to inspire it to greater aspirations. A magnificent story, a
magnificent, classic production, and an insurmountable performance at its
heart.
