Movie #980 "The Theory of Everything" is going to be listed as one of my favorite movies of 2014 because I really found the story intriguing and the character inspiring. First off, I don't think anyone could critique this movie without commending the two leads, Eddy Redmayne (marius from the movie "les Mis") and Felicity Jones (somewhat of a newcomer). And what a tough job they had facing them in this --- they are in most of the scenes, and their lives are full of lots of struggling. The focus of the movie is NOT on Mr. Hawkings' scientific life, but more his personal, family life, with the major thrust on the life of a caretaker, in this situation his stalwart wife. I was not surprised with a few of the turns in the film because I had read a summary of his life with his wife before seeing the film, but let's just say theirs is not a normal relationship at all ---- so much trust and respect between the two, with their own nonverbal (oftentimes) way of communicating---- so different but then it would have to be to be able to bet through the conflicts they had facing them. Great acting, photography and editing, and you'd think it would be boring after a while since Eddy can't speak a lot of the time, but not with me. I really enjoyed this and left the theatre marveling at how he (along with the support of his wife) accomplished so much in his lifetime! I recommend this.
The Theory of Everything
I'd give this 4.7 stars out of 5.
With his body progressively ravaged by ALS, world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking must rely on his wife, Jane, to continue his life's work as he faces various challenges. This affecting biographical drama centers on the couple's fertile partnership.
