The Enigma

life of mathematician and cryptanalyst, Alan Turing. It brings us through the story of how he was able to succeed in breaking enigma (a near impossible to crack) Nazi code. This inspiring film follows a rather unique structure when compared to other films. It goes through three different time periods; when Turing was in boarding school, when he was working on breaking the enigma, and when he was arrested and convicted of indecency. This provides a great sense of variety and acts as a puzzle. There was

The movie I am researching is The Imitation Game. The movie is about a British intelligence agency during WWII that recruits mathematics alumnus Alan Turing to break Nazi code… cryptanalysts thought the code was unbreakable. Alan’s team analyzes Enigma messages, and Turing builds a machine to decipher them. His team succeeds and become heroes, but in the year 1952 Alan encounters disgrace when the authorities find out he is homosexual, and they send him to prison. The reason I want to research this

The Imitation Game is a movie based on a real story, taking place in the isolated Bletchley Park in Sherborne, during WWII. Here, six chosen men, including Alan Turing, live and breathe the Enigma machine with hopes of breaking the code. Breaking it will enable them to listen to the messaged plans of the opposing Germans. Every night at midnight, the Germans alter the code settings to then be able to send a new message every morning at six am. Therefore, the code breakers only have eighteen hours

In the movie The Imitation Game there were many factors of the movie that were true and false in Alan Turing’s life. Although, most of his work is shrouded in mystery, we still have quite a bit of history on the man. Firstly, in the movie, we are showed that Alan has feelings for his dear friend Christopher and that Turing attends an all-boys-academy. This, in fact, is true. Christopher did genuinely exist and the school at which they attended was called Sherborne School in Dorset. In the film we

Being human in society one must adapt to social norms or be look at as an outcast. Although an induvial may try to adapt to social norms they will always be targeted for not being born normal. In the book The Stranger by Albert Camus and film The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser by Werner Herzog, the main characters Meursault and Kasper Hauser show how individuals can be detached from the world or reality in different stories but have a similarity where they challenge society norms and seen as an outcast

During the mid-1980’s to early-1990’s, few television shows made as much of an impact on pop culture as MacGyver did. Even if you never watched the show, you’ve heard other people use the name, perhaps to describe using a credit card to open a locked door. The title character of the program, Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) was famous for creating makeshift tools out of ordinary objects to escape or avoid perilous situations. MacGyver became such a well-known name that the Oxford Dictionary

Alan Turing is a rare figure amongst the many historical worthies of post-war Britain. He would, at first, seem an unlikely candidate to become a popular icon. He worked within a comparatively novel and arcane scientific field, the central concepts of which are still only fully understood by specialists. It was one which emerged from mostly from his own high-level theoretical reasoning and debating the earlier work of the similarly obscure Kurt Gödel upon whether mathematical processes could truly

The Bipolar Enigma Stephen Ray Harris Monday, Wednesday, & Friday Class (9:00-9:50) Dr. Marc Klippenstine East Central University April 11, 2016   Abstract Currently effecting between 2-4% of the overall population and as one of the leading causes of homelessness, suicide, and hospitalization, bipolar disorder is yet, still one of the most perplexing, as well as the most misunderstood mental disorders out there. With this particular disorder, the complexity arises given one’s predisposition

German Enigma machine. The Germans had created unbreakable Enigma code. They created an Enigma machine which encrypted Morse code transmission message. The radio operators would need a key to put in the Enigma machine to decode the encrypted message. The Enigma machine worked by allowing the operator to type in a message, then scramble it by using three to five notched wheels/rotors, which displayed different letters of the alphabet (BBC). The reason why the Germans said it was unbreakable Enigma code
