"The Imitation Game" (The Imitation Game) is a biographical film directed by Morten Tydum , starring Benedict Cumberbatch, , Keira. The film is adapted from " Alan Turing Biography " edited by Andrew Hodges , starting from the legendary life of "father of computer science" Alan Turing , focusing on the assistance of Turing The Allies deciphered the German cipher system "Enigma", thereby reversing the story of the World War II war.

The film won the 87th Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor 7 nominations for leading role, best soundtrack, etc. Alexander Desplat composed the music for the film.

The story takes place in Britain during World War II, when the government and the Allies could not decipher the German code system used to direct the war" Ingmar", he convened a group of mathematicians and logicians, including Alan Turing, to decipher the work. After many setbacks, a machine was created, which successfully deciphered the code, ended the war ahead of schedule, and saved thousands of people. After the war, Turing was convicted of his sexual orientation, received cruel hormone "treatment", and ended his life at home at the age of 41.

The film adopts a three-line narrative method and selects the protagonist's campus. The three life stages of life (childhood), cracking the code (juvenile) and being interrogated by the police (youth), analyze the legendary and regrettable life course of this genius. Turing's own lamentable story, and The organic combination of composer Desplat's infectious soundtrack makes the film very tense. The name of the film and the theme music is "The Imitation Game", which comes from the title of a paper published by Turing, and the theme is highly compatible with the content of the film. , is about "robots can think like humans, but in different ways". The composer of

created the music from the height and specific situation of the whole film. The opening music appears at 00:58, and Turing is on the interrogation in the picture , with the sound of the telegraph and the monologue of the protagonist, the music is carried out in a fixed tone pattern with a brighter timbre of the keyboard. The theme melody is drawn from the horn and and gradually enters the strings. Happy, the story unfolds from here. The theme music of

appears several times in the film, and is mostly presented in the form of audio and video synchronization. The film all appeared three times, all of which were introduced by string music and woodwind instrument using a fixed tone pattern.

As the deciphering work fell into a bottleneck, Turing released an anagram game to recruit deciphering talents. The picture is a portrayal of the turbulent life in wartime. Career Opportunities. The paragraph at 44:37 and the preceding strings are all variations on the theme music. When Turing and Joan were studying the materials alone, Joan changed his mind of wanting to explore alone, and discussed the idea of ​​"digitalization". computer" concept.

The middle part of the film tells the story of Turing's childhood. The music passages show a lyrical and tranquil feeling. Two smart teenagers communicate in class with a password that only each other understands, and meet to see you after the holiday. The flute and string music are floating here, Turing wrote "I love you" in the password with anticipation, rushed into the crowd and waited for Christopher's appearance, but in the end the long sound of the flute cut through Turing's expectations, he didn't wait to see The man, Christopher died of illness.

The story goes back to the war days, Turing and his colleagues had built the machine, but it just kept running. When everyone was resting, the words of an army liaison officer caught everyone's attention. The music gradually became tense from the foreshadowing of string music to a fixed pattern. Inspiration was obtained from Turing from her mouth. The more compact, the transition of the screen becomes fast and sharp. Finally, the code was cracked, and the theme music pushed the mood to a climax, making the uplifting moment even more infectious.

The theme music at the end of the film is reproduced. In the picture is the night when the materials were burned after the war, and the subtitles tell the ending of Turing. The seemingly inexhaustible fire and the flying ashes of confetti are all commemorating the best time of the protagonists, a hero and the end of an era, and "Christopher" and love.

From the whole film, the theme music and harmony have the characteristics of romantic music, and the continuous sound part plays a unified role in the whole film music. The repeated appearance of the theme music makes the corresponding scene more sublime and expressive. Other music with certain ups and downs is also introduced in the fixed tone type with keyboard characteristics. The perfect combination of and color instruments makes music very expressive in movies.

Today, Turing's cherished machine stands quietly in the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. It's a story that pays tribute to him, to the outsider, to the lonely, to those who once felt different, excluded, prejudiced.
