This hand-over-mouth gesture by Keira Knightley/Joan Clarke covers the impact of the moment perfectly. Everyone thinks that this bunch of adrenalin-soaked people in this dark room may just have been witness to THE most important event to win and end this war. But noone dares to say it.
It’s possible some high ranking Germans suspected the Allies were deciphering their code but realised it would shorten a war they were inevitably going to lose and so kept quiet.
Actually, Germany thought after a while that their codes where intercepted and interpreted. And instead of getting a better code, they just continued to add wheels on the Enigma. Thanks to that most if not all intercepted messages were interpreted. Basically Germany due to laziness lost the war
You missed the point then because they did use it to win the war. They had to use it in a way that did not inform the germans that enigma was compromised. That means always having an alternate explanation for the origin of the intel. You dont just react to an enemy tank column moving toward you for instance. You dispatch a seemingly random scouting unit to find it and then act.
That scene didn't play out that way in real life though. This group passed EVERYTHING up to command, and command made the decisions to act or not act. They had to find a way to simplify that explanation to the audience, but the way the movie portrays it is an act of treason. Lol
Not exactly they could only use it on selected occasions otherwise the German high command, especially the subs would know that Enigma had been broken.
This scene really dumbed down and over simplified the process. Unfortunately it is a necessary evil that must be adhered to so the audience can pretend they understand what is going on. My biggest criticism about this movie is that it was all about Turing and not the Ultra program. Absolutely no mention of Thomas Flowers and his "Colossus" computer and his and Turing's success in breaking the German Lorenz encryption machine. Enigma was child's play compared to Lorenz and Bletchley broke both of them.

1:41 “Alan! Alan! Alan!” Can anyone else hear the prairie dog yelling it?
🤣
☠️☠️☠️☠️
So basically they broke Enigma because someone wasn't following protocol on the German side.......THIS IS WHY YOU FOLLOW PROTOCOL lol.
Funny how it was both sides of the coin.
Someone not following procedure is what gave him the idea for how to break their ultra guaranteed procedure
Search and find how the british located the Bishmark.
They did not brake enigma - polish scientists who work for Brits did it
@@cczarnyy They broke the simpler version of it earlier. It then had to be broken again and that's what the film is about
No, the girlfriend comment was his eureka moment. It made him realize that the weather report always used the same 3 words.
Helluva great movie..
Imagine if they had acquired an enigma machine with a squeaky wheel.
RIP Alan Turing 🌹
Brilliant minds

There is no doubt that everyone is trying to decipher everyone else's code, even among allies. Only evidence can convince people.
it's possible i will magically become a millionaire tomorrow

A.I. still can’t get subtitles right? 🤦♂️
A co-worker of *sons*?
Crosswords are fun but Crypiquote is more like this. They never give that many letters. Heil
WHY THE HARD CODED SUBTITTIES?
some of us are DEAF.
And then they can't use it to win the war

This is why AI doing subtitles, won’t win a war (obvs, unless it’s SKYNET).
C-I-I-L-Y 🤦♂️

Can't turn off subtitles.
Click don't recommend channel.
some of us are deaf . you should try it some time and maybe realise how great subtitles are.
This sadly isn't done that well... One if our time's greatest war achievement but not great Cinema.
You're right........about as accurate as Oliver Stone's take on American history!

Have you seen Jeremy Clarksons excellent documentary about computers?
Goes into great detail about Flowers ,one of humanity's great unsung hero .
Bullshit film really.
You’re insufferable
@@johnreynolds6369 It was just a propaganda film supporting the gay community when you break it down.
I love how British just claimed everything in ww2....they won the war they broke enigma....just pure bullshit
