$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrestonSturges', '&')quot;A Beautiful Mind" seemed a lot better than "The Imitation Game" about Alan Turing. The movie version made Turing autistic and very unpopular, when he was actually normal and popular. Also, it made a whole bunch of other people who were friends out to be his enemies. This really angered their families because it made them look like their petty bickering would let the Nazis win. And there were a lot of raggedy war movies cliches. For instance, the "But my brother's on that ship the Germans are about to attack!" goes back to the novel version of "The Caine Mutiny" in 1951.

"The Imitation Game" reminded me of that old joke:

Q: How many Hollywood producers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Does it have to be a light bulb? Can it be a dog? A talking dog!

And that's what it needed - a talking dog, an adorable and spunky orphan kid, Cuba Gooding Jr as the servant full of magical wisdom, and maybe some really intrusive narration from Morgan Freeman.
