I started a novel right before ‘The Imitation Game,’ so it’s funny now, four years later, to be coming almost back to finishing it. Graham Moore Read Quote
A lot of biopics to me feel very much like someone is standing in front of the camera and is reading a Wikipedia page to you, like someone is reciting event. Did you know this happened? Did you know that happened? But Alan Turing’s life deserved a sort of passionate film, and an exciting film. Graham Moore Read Quote
Telling Alan Turing’s story in a two-hour film was a tremendous challenge. It felt in some small way like our filmmaking version of breaking the enigma code. Graham Moore Read Quote
One thing that I always loved about, say, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, is that Indiana Jones gets the Ark of the Covenant about sixty percent of the way through the movie. And then the rest of it is get-out-alive. To me, that’s really cool. Because he’s the one you care about at the end of the day. Graham Moore Read Quote
The representation of gay characters on screen is important for us all to think about because there are sadly too few representations of gay characters on screen in mainstream cinema. If Marvel starts making movies about gay superheroes, then we’ll be in a really great place. We’re not at that place. Graham Moore Read Quote
I had first heard about Alan Turing when I was a teenager. I’ve known about him since I was a kid, and I always wanted to write about him. Graham Moore Read Quote
When I was a teenager, I was a huge computer nerd. I went to computer programming camp. I went to space camp. Graham Moore Read Quote
Space camp was actually, like, the best summer of my life. It was amazing. But I thought I wanted to be a computer programmer, and among computer science folks, Turing is this object of cult-like fascination. Graham Moore Read Quote
I had been a lifelong Alan Turing obsessive. Among incredibly nerdy teenagers, without a lot of friends, Alan Turing was always this luminary figure we’d all look up to. Graham Moore Read Quote
