31/12/14

Yesterday I watched the movie “The Imitation Game” that tells the story of “Alan Turing”, the man who solved the German Enigma at world war two. Besides it is a great historical movie it lights other important issue. Turing was gay and after the war, was accused by having relations with other man, which was forbidden at the time.  The country gave him two option: two years in jail or chemical castration treatment. Turing chose the second option and the movie shows that the man who saved the lives of more than 14 million people loses his memory and some physical capabilities. I was surprised that not so long ago people like me were criminals. I am so happy that I live in such better times, but when I look at nonwestern countries, I understand that the struggle have not yet done.
