The Imitation Game
Not too long ago, we saw the Imitation Game, which I have to say was amazing. The cast was extraordinary and the story moved along so well and naturally. One of the things that I consider components of a great film is when the movie is one where it makes you think but at the same time, you aren't distracted by acting, or filming, or the script. Basically, the movie should feel organic and make you think about the message being sent.
The Imitation Game did this marvelously. However, there are a lot of historical inaccuracies geared towards sending a message. The lesson being sent was that we should be accepting and support everyone, despite differences, a message that I wholeheartedly agree with. I understand that exaggeration can make a stronger impact on society and our thoughts.But sometimes, I just wish that there could be a more accurate portrayal of people in movies so that I don't feel like I am being manipulated into believing what I am told to believe. Other than that, it's a great and if you get the chance, you should watch it.

I was excited to read about this! I have been wanting to see it and wanted to hear someone's thoughts on it. I agree that people are easily persuaded, without fully thinking about what is going on in the movie and what biases or inaccuracies they might have. Lets hope that we can help educate the world on media intake.
