Rico and the ladyfriend went to see
The Imitation Game, starring
Benedict Cumberbatch (he of
Sherlock fame, and properly named
Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch) and
Kiera Knightley (she of
Pirates of the Caribbean fame, and properly named
Keira Christina Knightley), the story of
Alan Turing and the breaking of the
Enigma coding machine, which changed the course of
World War Two.
Winston Churchill told
King George VI that "it was thanks to
Ultra that we won the war."
Rico says it was much as expected;
Cumberbatch was brilliant and
Knightley was gorgeous. The Brits, being just a
touch homophobic, lost an incredible mind to suicide far too early, and we had to wait decades for his
Turing Machine to become a household device.
Tim Cook, of course, would be proud of him...
