Plot
The film tells the extraordinary story of one of the world's greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne), who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones). Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an
earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age. With Jane fighting tirelessly by
his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the
very thing he now has precious little of - time. Together, they defy
impossible odds, breaking new ground in medicine and science, and achieving
more than they could ever have dreamed.
Opinion
The Theory of Everything is a heartbreaking masterpiece by James Marsh. Do not expect a mostly scientific film since the human side takes over, through the delicate, difficult and extraordinary love story of Stephen Hawking and his wife Jane.
The score (Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee), by Jóhann Jóhannsson, in particular in the last scenes, gave me goose bumps.
I would have never expected such a performance by Eddie Redmayne: he is extraordinary in portraying a clear mind, brave and hilarious Stephen Hawking.
After the stunning work in Like Crazy, Felicity Jones delivers an emotional performance as Jane Hawking.
Quotes
Stephen Hawking: There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.
