Research and Planning: Narrative (Jenitha)

The Imitation Game (2014)
A dramatic portrayal of the life and work of one of
Britain’s most extraordinary unsung heroes, Alan
Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch). 
The pioneer of
modern-day computing, Turing is credited with
cracking the German Enigma code and the film is a
nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant
team at Britain’s top-secret code-breaking center,
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.


The Maze Runner (2014)
Thomas wakes up in an elevator, remembering nothing 
but his own name. He emerges into a world of about
60 teen boys who have learned to survive in a completely 
enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture 
and supplies. A new boy arrives every 30 days. The original 
group has been in "The Glade" for three years, trying to 
find a way to escape through the Maze that surrounds their living space. They have begun to give up hope. Then a 
comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their
world 
begins to change. There are some great, 
fast-paced action scenes, particularly those involving the nightmarish Grievers who plague the boys. 


Before I Go to Sleep (2014) 

Forty-year-old Christine Lucas wakes up in bed with a
 man she does not know, in an unfamiliar house. The 
man explains that he is her husband, Ben, and that she 
suffered brain damage from a car accident ten years 
earlier. Christine wakes up every morning with no 
memory of her life from her early twenties onwards. 
One day, new terrifying truths emerge that force 
her to question everyone around her.
