the other day i watched "the imitation game"

it was semi-interesting but it was marred by the silly repetition of "the lesson". you know, when hollywood wants to teach you a bit of stupid morality they make sure to repeat it 3 times at key moments in the movie (or have the protagonist explain it at the end of a tv episode). here it was "the people who do things no one can imagine bla bla bla". triple-cringe. ugh with "the lesson".

i was also mistyfied by everyone getting "fired' or threatening to "get fired." i thought the english gave each other the sack. made me think this show was linguistically bowdlerized for 'merica. especially in 30s lingo. yes? no?
