In the movie Alan turning is first shown as a man who is closed off and cautious. When Alan was younger he was abused by his classmate because he was different. They would shove him into the floor boards and nail it shut and when he stopped screaming they would leave him there. They’d also dump food on him and proceeded to laugh at him every time he made a mistake. This affected Alan tremendously in the long run, he became distance from others and didn’t trust people and it was hard for him to make and to have relationships. The acts that Alan suffered from would be a violation of article 5 that nobody should be subjected to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. The director used cinematography to release tension from the crowd by showing that Alan had someone there for him when he was going through this abuse, someone who he could look up too for help so he didn’t go through it alone.
Alan is a homosexual. When Alan was in boarding school he had one friend named Christopher. Christopher helped Alan through all the bullying and gave him hope. Later it was revealed that Alan had written a note in cryptography saying to Christopher I love you but it he never gave it to him. Back than in England, being homosexual was illegal and if caught you were given two choices, a two year jail sentence or you take hormone drugs to “fix” your sexual desires. Alan chose the drugs when he was got and while taking the drugs it affected him physically by making him tremble, weak, pale and unhealthy overall and emotionally it made him lose interest in the things he loved the most like crossword puzzles. This would also affect society too because there was many other people who were homosexual and they had to carry the fear and anxiety of being caught. This treatment is abuse of article 16 “Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.” The director showed release by Joan coming over and telling that she’d be willing to do anything to help Alan. Alan just smiled, thanked her and looked at his machine with tears in his eyes and that’s where the movie ended.
The Nazis bombed a ship. During WWII the Nazis bombed multiple ships killing thousands of innocent people. This violates article 3, “everyone has a right to life, liberty and security of person” because the Nazis are taking away the right for people to feel safe and the right for them to live. This affected Alan and his group greatly because they had to choose who lived and who didn’t. It especially affected peter whose brothers were on the ship and society in general because they were losing loved ones. The director showed catharsis during this scene by Alan and Joan going to the leader of MI6 and asking for him to help them at least stop some of the attacks so less people die.
During The Imitation Game article 5, 16 and 3 were abused, leaving a large impact on the characters and society either physically or emotionally. The director used good cinematography to relieve tension from the crowd by having someone there for the other person or giving that person hope in some way.
