THE IMITATION GAME is a nail-biting race against time following Alan Turing (pioneer of modern-day computing and credited with cracking the German Enigma code) and his brilliant team at Britain's top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British establishment, but his work and legacy live on.
Director: Morten Tyldum
Producers: Teddy Schwarzman, Ido Ostrowsky, Nora Grossman
Writer: Graham Moore
Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Mark Strong, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance, Allen Leech and Matthew Beard
THE IMITATION GAME is out in UK cinemas November 14th.

Many thanks to SciTech Guru for contributing English subtitles to this video!
The "whistle and point" thing that Ben does, takes me back to Sherlock and Watson's drunk scene!
Cecilie Lyng Yep I'm literally gonna reply to any comment with this, 'cos I noticed it too!
OMG YES
Me too
Literally 😂
Am I the only one who noticed the way Benedict indicated to Keira at the very first moment of the video, like the Sherlock episode when Sherlock and John are drunk?
No, you weren't the only one ;)
Omg i was thinking the same
Miranda Galussio same omg
Giulia Manente You were not alone.
Because they are close friends? I don't know😂
We all just watched Benedict Cumberbatch talk about maths for 3 minutes....
Yes and I enjoyed every second of it.
He can read me a dictionary for days I’ll listen all of it
As a computer scientist i love their honesty.
oh, hello fellow computer scientist. I am cool too with their lack of maths skills as long as their acting is convicing :)
Caligula Negative.
Caligula I love that question coming from an insane Roman emperor who named his horse consul
Computer scientists might love honesty, but when it comes to human emotions it just completely fails them. They can’t even admit that they love or hate a person sometimes. And the results in them stringing me along.
@@okaminess really?
Don’t think that Benedict is unintelligent for not understanding the full extent of the math, it was extremely complicated. If it was that easy, it wouldn’t have taken years and the best mathematical minds to comprehend.
What I Iove most about Benedict Cumberbatch is, that even if you go to watch a film because he takes part in it, after a short amount of time you'll forget who he is and only see the person he plays.
The story of Alan Turing really brought me to tears when I saw the film yesterday and all I want to do is travel back in time and honor this incredible man for what he has done!
There were always people like him. Heros and people who suffer in silence we'll never know about. All we can do is help everyone around us as good as we can because
“Sometimes it’s the people no one imagines anything of who do the things no one can imagine”.
And I'm really happy Mr. Turing kicked our ass. xD

OHMYGOD HE DID THE "DRUNK WHISTLE" THING AT THE BEGINNING MARTIN FREEMAN DID IN SHERLOCK SEASON 3 EPISODE 2! *-----*
that is true..when Ben is on screen you can see only the character, he just disappears.Such a class actor
I feel so fucking shit rn after watching it my pain for Alan is huge it’s horrible he went through that. Any man who had to take hormone medication in those days, I just wanna cry for them and benedict played his character so amazingly
*honoUr .i agree anywaY
0:08 that reminds me of John in the Sign of Three...
Omg you saw it too! I kinda hope he was aiming to reference that xD
+Emily Davis yeah... i think he was
+Cate I was thinking the same thing lol
Cate I was looking for this comment XD
there's another video of him and Tilda Swinton where he makes that motion and actually says that Martin did it in Sherlock
HAHA the cameraman so badly doesnt want to film the guy to the right.
Haha!
They are so modest awww
they might not have understood the maths but can pick up on benedicts passion for the role and for the material its that what makes him a great actor too!
At least he knows the quadratic equation XD
+cans day All about F.O.I.L., baby!! ;^D
This video is π seconds long...
Khurram Solangi I’m late but haha
Ohhh nerd joke... High five... I got it!!
It is π minutes long.
LOL
Good one
does anyone else have a feeling that they love maths but maths does not love them back.
His whistle pointing reminds me of John's drunk whistle pointing in Sherlock.
the whistle and point thing brought me back :')
he did THE JOHN .....from the sign of three
Just shows what brilliant actors they are to be able to learn all the lines but not understand a word of them!
God I want to hug him!
Because of Sherlock and this movie, I actually think Benedict Cumberbatch is very smart. Hahaha!
Still love him though!
Dana Uy what do you mean "you still love him though"? is being smart bad?
Elisa Alonso That's not what i meant. I meant that in real life, he's not smart exactly like sherlock and his character in the imitation game, but he's not stupid either. it's nice to know he's just like any other people who aren't very smart neither stupid.
knowing maths doesn't make you clever.
i actually think he is very smart. just the way he talks and everything. you can be smart and bad in maths, people are good in different things
Dana Uy cu
Always respect actors like benedict who openly articulate his thoughtful respect of the character he portrays, and given that it's for the works of an equally creative and disciplined field as science, even if they are only artists' with acting for the role written into the sci-fi film character, I feel still it's truly great to get honest answers nevertheless the interview hype existing while trying to keep things grounded,.. and plus as always what a fantastic voice he has ;)
Omg in the beginning ben does the whistle almost exactly like martin did it (improvised) on season 3 of sherlock in stag night. I couldnt help but notice it haha
Did Benedict Cumberbatch or Keira Knightley understand any of the maths in The Imitation Game? And how long did they take to solve a crossword on set?

2:10 the way she looks at him😂
its ironical because ben has played many roles of a person with an amazing iq.xD
Loved watching this! So great to see them all so genuine and lovely, 'normal' people behind everything and great to know even they aren't amazing at everything xD i'm not to great at maths either :) Fab video to watch!
Just as the movie tells us.
"...The interesting question is, just because something, uh... thinks differently from you, does that mean it's not thinking? Well, we allow for humans to have such divergences from one another. You like strawberries, I hate ice-skating, you cry at sad films, I am allergic to pollen. What is the point of... different tastes, different... preferences, if not, to say that our brains work differently, that we think differently? ..."
What is wrong to be different？What is wrong to think differently？They might not be really good at maths and computer science, but they have other talents... They're good at acting, drama... They ARE Alan Turing and Joam Clarke(I am not sure about this one)... Their endeavours in this movie and many others touch and amaze us.
Haha this is such a funny video - love Benedict and Keira! Need to get around to seeing this film soon.
oh my god he's doing the finger whistle
How he looks at science makes me respect him so much more, really
why so many people had to have so bad math teachers it will always be a mystery....
*****
:) got it
I know right XDD
If I think about it, I always excelled at math when I had a good teacher and sucked when I had a bad one.
"I can't even hear, how can I be good at sudoku?"
Love them both - it is a must see for me!
So he's bad in math but he's still a millionaire for acting......now that's the life
you don't need to be good in math to be ale to act,
and? he is an actor
Unless it's something of geomatric nature - i am also horrible at math. I think the reason why roots within the way it was presented to us in school. Math teachers tend to be anti-social, which is one of the reasons I never developed an interest for this subject: To me everything was an "imitation game" and sypmathy was crucial in oder to get me on board. Unfortunately most teachers - despite sientific evidence - only want to create blind obedience instead of trust and mutual respect, not paying attention to the fact that we (especially as children) learn best from the people we love - not from the people we fear.
They have nothing to do with each other whatsoever
@Crohn Buffet is one of the richest but I am sure he doesn't understand complex mathematics. Most of the richest people are businessmen who probably are not the best at mathematics. My point is, there is a connection but not necessarily.
keira saying " fuck " when benedict pointed at her 😂😂
OskarTang I think she said "what?!"
Blueberry Blossom g
Glad that they were asked not just about the "maths", but also about "crosswords", which feature in the movie, and especially for Keira Knightley's character "Joan".
I'm impressed that she did enough character research to try one ("We should really be doing a crossword", 2:50) and admit the outcome - it took several of them five days to partially complete a "Quick" crossword. I wonder whether that was a cryptic?
As I recall, the movie doesn't bore the viewer with the distinction between cryptic crosswords and non-cryptic, but the implication is that they are talking about cryptics.
As both a computer programmer and (cryptic) crossword solver, I didn't see any connection between crosswords and code-breaking, as implied by Turing in the movie. To me it was just a quick cinematic device to show "This guy is smart. And the girl is smarter".
Still, among my programming colleagues there is a higher proportion of crypic crossword solvers than in the general population, but certainly nowhere near 50%.
Knowing what you don't know. Good on you, Benedict!
the pointing one reminds me when Sherlock and John were drunk xD
A very interesting interview!!
I love Benedict!
Quadratic equations is a good platform to work from
The whistle made me immediately think of drunk John Watson.
Great stuff.
i love them so much
pause at 0:06 you're welcome
:>
I love a smart cookie
Benra? Keinedict?
love it
I feel like, no scratch that, I know that I would be better at math if my teacher wasn't Chinese. I can't understand what he's saying half the time and to be honest he really isn't that good of a teacher. The only reason I, and the other nine people in the class, haven't failed is because 1) the internet is a wonderful place to get information, and 2) he allows us to correct our homework and tests. He also allows us to turn in our homework whenever we please, so I guess there are ups and downs to the situation. I'm mostly just putting this here so that years from now when I go through the comments I've posted on my google+ page, I'll see this and be like "Oh yeah, I remembered that." Hello me from the future. I hope I've done well for myself. Anyways, it's late and I'm going to retire to bed. Well, I'm already in bed, I just need to sleep.

This a cool comment, your teacher sounds lovely. Hope your education is going well!
love them
Man as much as I paid attention in school and made the grades, I can't tell you the area of a cylinder or a trapezoid without looking it up xD
Idk what it is about the school systems nowadays, but math is just never fun. If so, it'd probably be more memorable. But of course, no one - at least, those i've known in my life to this point - considers that.
You probably need quite a talent for mathematics to understand all of the mathematics Alan Turing did (I have reason to assume, and it is a bit subjective).
Anyway they have no reason to feel shame regarding their mathematics ability in comparison.
Keira is so beautiful and gorgeous
I love these two amazing actors! She'd fit perfectly with Harry instead of..... ?
who's also here für Keira Knightley?
I'm at a community college right now and part of my General Ed to transfer to a University is too take math. I took Elementary Algebra and fuck, I struggled and failed it and now I have to take it again. lol My brain is not wired for math. lol
Oh come on, he's Alan Turing!
Haha, great fun!
Come on Benedict you are just being modest. I am sure you can solve quadratic equations.
i find the algorithm so easy to understand that i don't understand how someone can't understand (i have a degree in math). it's genius though
Haha I spent 20 minutes on one quadratic function. Needless to say I didn't finish the test.
I know EXACTLY what Keira means about maths, although I can generally finish a crossword, by myself, in less than five days :)
I'm very bab in math XD
It must be really confusing
what movie is it? i don't really remember he was partnered with Keira on movie
Imelda Santosa The Imitation Game, I think
Wow, I shall in 7th grade this year, and I understand it
Am I crazy or does the voice of the person asking the questions sounds like Dua Lipa?
British are Honest people.
Why do Brits say "maths"? It's not plural.
Joe Smith I guess because "maths" is short for "mathematics"!
***** Since when?
Since always ...
***** In North America it's always been 'math'.
Im Australian and we say maths
Rest in peace σε όλους εμάς στη Θετική
I remember shipping them so hard
wheres's matthew beard??? didn't he get 11A* for his GCSEs?
pee... liquor store then my long walk home in the freezing cold ...yea thats y tequila
So I understand more math in the 8th grade, than 38 year old millionaire...not fair...
But by the time you have reached the age of 38, you will have forgotten 90% of it like the rest of us! Unless of course you are employed in a field which requires it. Such is life..
hiyadroogs actually I will probably be more advanced. I plan to go into Biomedical Engineering.
E. Padgett I'm very happy for you!
hiyadroogs Thank you!
E. Padgett That's cool, man. The question is more, will you be as good in your field as he is in his? He's obviously an millionaire for a reason - he's excellent at what he does and has worked hard to achieve success in his profession. Same can be said for anything, really. I wish you luck though, hopefully you can become a millionaire in your field too.
I.., couldn't understand okay maths
Maths sounds so weird to me
hold up do they really call math "maths"?
"SUDOKEYYYY"
she got the hots for him
Is Keira his sister???
I hate maths😷😱😱😭
I'm horrible at math and crosswords are boring.
So they are awful at maths, and it takes 5 days to do a crossword.
They should not quite their day jobs
I ship them ;3
