The Imitation Game (HD CLIP) | Sandwiches

Alan is a tad bit on the socially-awkward side.
This clip was taken from the Oscar-nominated 2014 film "The Imitation Game," starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Mark Strong, and Charles Dance.

Once had a friend who got mad at me for not attending her party. She had never invited me. Just presumed I'd be there. Sometimes it's good to say "hey you're welcome to come along.' I'm too polite to go where I'm not invited. Ships in the night I suppose.

some people might think that his way of thinking in these situations is exaggerated, but my brother acts that exact same way, it is like a human computer, there is nothing wrong with it, we just think that because in conversations we assume a lot of things, while they don't, honestly i kind of admire it

[@zachmartin1458]

A doctoral candidate in math lived across the hall from me in college, and I swear he was the bastard child of Turing and Sheldon Cooper, sans the social skills. If that paints a picture. Brilliant guy. We invited him to a football game one Saturday and he had never gone to a game as an undergrad. He was like a two year old at Christmas.

[@beatricecambioni3139]

Well if you think about it in a computer-wise dynamic, Alan was right. His coworker never actually ASKED him to join them for lunch. He stated a fact, implying a question. But that is not how computers work. Computers actually need the question or setting to be stated clearly. His brain was just set on a computer mode already.

I learned that Turing once said that what really matters to find the answer is not the right answer, but the right question. For a simple question like " can computer think?" it can be " yes, it can". But of the question were "can compiyer think like a human?" " well, ..." This just impressed me!

Blah. Soup is just a drink that is served in a bowl and you have to spoon it into your mouth a tiny bit at a time. Very inefficient. A sandwich is much more satisfying.

[@EhsanEbrahimian]

Let me explain this scene, people mistake this with being genius or highly logical but this is actually a disability in someway. Alan Turing was autistic, autistic people sometimes can't read hidden or implicit messages in the sentences, for most people it is easy to read them but not for autistics, they understand all sentences LITERALY regardless of their context. Here, it was the lunch time and they were hungry and wanted to go to lunch, the implicit meaning of telling "we are going to lunch" was that "Do you want to come?", most people can interpret this correctly but since Alan is autistic he interpret this sentence in a literal way: just a declarative sentence and not a question. This is actually stupid, why they should declare that they are going to lunch? just to let him know? Of course he was genius, no doubt about it, and of course this literal way of thinking coupled with his genius mind was exactly the same reason that helped him to break enigma (this explicit and logical way of thinking is highly suitable for math and logic), however autism in less intelligent people can became a real problem without any impressive outcome.

It's highly suspected that he did, yes. Sheldon from Big Bang Theory was based on his personality.

[@MoonwalkerWorshiper]

@@safebox36 It figures that a person who is main responsible for inventing changes to society, challenges social norms.

[@fowl37]

Absolutely not. Every account by his colleagues says he was a sociable, good natured and had a very good sense of humor. He had many friends at Betchley. This "irascible genius" persona was cooked up by the director and Cumberbatch and made millions of people think he was an asshole who took basic social cues literally. And on a side note he would not have sneered at frequency analysis because he was one of the inventors of the technique.

[@MoonwalkerWorshiper]

@@fowl37 I see I suppose they´re just trying to create exaggerated entertainment. Aspergers have a gray area and it´s said everyone have a little of it at least.

[@anaisabelpais7389]

@@fowl37 Turing was not one of the inventors of frequency analysis. It was already being being used in the 9th century. The first time I learned about it was in a Literature class, in a story called The Gold-Bug by Poe, written in 1843, about 100 years before Turing (the story itself hadn't been assigned, but I saw it the book and was interested). The way Enigma worked, however, straight frequency analysis doesn't work. Because any letter can stand for any other letter, any number of times. You could theoretically type in hldkfjhdiug and get aaaaaaaaaaa. So they had to come up with another way to break enigma, which definitely wouldn't be frequency analysis.

Enigme decoded the Poles and the British tried to assign merit itself. They deciphered them in 1932, in Warsaw, Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski. After 75 years, the British admitted in the end that the Poles deciphered Enigme. This film misrepresent stories.

[@buca9696]

They did, but the Germans later changed the design of Enigma and the Polish decryption methods were rendered useless.

[@FPSKillstreak]

it took 3 weeks to decipher a single short message by the method created by the Polish mathematicians

[@andyme3541]

They did, slowly then the Machine was changed, and the Polish efforts where rendered... not moot, it still was helpful but not enough. The Bletchly Park efforts where so fast on new machines that the Allies where decoding messages fasters than the Germans

[@outtagoodnamesdangit]

This movie really ticks me off. By all accounts, the real Alan Turing was definitely eccentric and had his quirks, but he was also known to be pretty personable, warm, and charming. He liked to work alone, but he wasn't a dick to his coworkers and generally got along well with them. Terrible disservice to a great man by making him fit the Hollywood mold of the misunderstood genius.

[@paulhollier6382]

Take it from someone who has a touch of autism, in my family background, genius works like this. If someone don't ask the right questions, they will just get the wrong answers; and, if someone keeps asking the wrong questions, over & over again, a genius will quickly decide they are not worth noticing - and the genius is correct, THAT person (or persons, as in this case) is just a boat anchor that's holding him back. Better to cut the line & be free, even if it means abandoning the anchor.

[@danparr6714]

As someone with an autism diagnosis but is often said to be very likeable, and fun to talk to and be around, I agree with you completely. This flawed thinking and stereotypical view that we're all antisocial, humourless intellectuals don't help people relate to me on a level that makes the close friendship I seek in my first year of uni possible. As outgoing and sociable as I may be, I still have trouble with my literal processing of social expressions like banter, playful joking among other things, which can be dealt with at a slight modification of behaviour to enable me to get it. Historical accounts at Bletchley Park indicate that Turing had quite a deadpan, sarcastic sense of humour, and yet none of that was shown in scenes where his coworkers joked around. My own lively sense of humour is one of the reasons why people enjoy chatting to me, and makes me say with much passion and conviction, that Cumberbatch's Turing is a disservice, both to historical fact and extroverted neurodivergent people like myself.
