The Framing Story: Is a non-linear crime story told from the criminal’s point of view, and it’s got a love story sub-plot between Alan and Christopher. There’s a love story sub-plot between Alan and Joan, and an espionage crime story dealing with the Russian spy in Hut 8. The Global Story: Deals with the cracking of the Enigma and I see it as a business performance story with a status admiration internal genre.

These storylines are woven together seamlessly and that’s what I’m going to focus on today. And, both the framing story and the global story have both an internal and an external genre. Here we have a non-linear framing story with a sub-plot, and a global story with two sub-plots.

Moore began his career as a novelist, and to date has three published titles The Sherlockian, The Last Days of Night and The Holdout.Ĭontent Warning: The film includes derogatory terms referring to members of the LGBTQIA community. This was Moore’s first screenplay, and it won him an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay. It was based on the 1983 biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges. This 2014 film was directed by Morten Tyldum from a screenplay by Graham Moore. This week, Valerie looks at The Imitation Game in order to study how to integrate a framing story into a global story.
