元々が、Mail on Sundayに載った記事のようなのでゴシップ要素7割くらいのネタです。
アラン・チューリングの姪Inagh Payneが、ベネディクト・カンバーバッチがアラン・チューリングを演じる映画『The Imitation Game』を観て、チューリングと元婚約者ジョアンの関係の描き方が不正確だと言っている模様。
Radio Times：Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley's Imitation Game romance labelled inaccurate
Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley's romance in forthcoming Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game has been labelled inaccurate by Turing's niece.
Cumberbatch plays the wartime codebreaker and computer scientist opposite Knightley as parson's daughter Joan Clarke. The pair were briefly engaged during their time working at Bletchley Park. But while Knightley is known for her glamorous film star looks, Turing's niece, Inagh Payne, has recalled his one-time fiance as "rather plain."
Payne goes on to describe a woman who was "very nice, bright and a good friend to Alan" and says she reacted well when Turing revealed that he was gay. "When he told her about how he was she accepted it, didn't make a scene or anything like that," Payne told The Mail on Sunday.
But when it came to the film's portrayal of the pair's relationship, Payne had some grievances to air, stating, "I think they might be trying to romanticise it. It makes me a bit mad. You want the film to show it as it was, not a lot of nonsense."
姪によると、ジョアン・クラークは明るくとても良い人でアラン・チューリングの良き友達だったそうで、彼が自分がゲイであることを明らかにした時の反応も良いものだったとのこと。けれど、映画『The Imitation Game』の中ではかなり脚色が入っているのか、「美化して描きたいらしくて、少し怒りを覚えた」そうで…
所詮は映画ですし、演出も必要ということで、やはり多少ロマンティック路線を追加しているのでしょうかね～。その辺は撮影開始前にもかなり叩かれていた部分なので、プロダクションも事実に沿った方向で映画を撮っているのかと思っていましたが・・・真実やいかに？
