^^ yeah i did like a lot about the turing movie, enough to feel irritated by "the lesson" which i take for granted in lesser movies. here it was like "hey, great movie..!. oh no, here comes the fucking lesson..."
i think frumious bandersnatch was fantastic as usual. i think the whole subplot of why the machine is named christopher was sad and sweet. the period reconstruction was good, etc. the structure with 3 timelines worked for me-- not at the beginning but soon it made good sense. i also never tire of keira knightley's strange but beautiful face. so there was a lot to like.
the fired vs sacked wasn't really a problem, just a question i had that momentarily ceased suspension of disbelief--- what i really hated was the fucking lesson. not that it was there, or the meaning of it-- but how it was so on-the-nose. a concession to the general public i suppose. things one has to live with in mass entertainment.
