    After viewing and studying Morten Tyldum's loosely based biopic of Alan Turing in "The Imitation Game", I have concluded that patriarchy was abundant during World War Two and it was most obvious throughout Joan Clarke's life.

Through broad analysis I found that the chosen critic's opinions were supportive

    as I believe that imitations are not inherently bad. Sure, a bit of the “truth” of the original is lost with every imitation, but that does not always outweigh their benefits. One good example of such an imitation is this painting by Caspar David Friedrich. Being a painting, it is not 100% photorealistic, and some of the minor details are lost. Heck, even a photograph cannot fully capture the majesty of standing in that field and gazing upon those mountains. But what an imitation like this picture
