Alan Turing's early life scenes in The Imitation Game (2014)

Alex Lawther as Alan Turing Jack Bannon as Christopher Morcom In 1926, at the age of 13, Alan Turing started at Sherborne School. At Sherborne, Turing formed a significant friendship with fellow pupil Christopher Morcom, who has been described as Turing's "first love". Their relationship provided inspiration in Turing's future endeavours, but it was cut short by Morcom's death, in February 1930, from complications of bovine tuberculosis, contracted after drinking infected cow's milk some years previously. The event caused Turing great sorrow. He coped with his grief by working that much harder on the topics of science and mathematics that he had shared with Morcom. Some have speculated that Morcom's death was the cause of Turing's atheism and materialism.(Source : Wikipedia)
