The Theory of Everything (2014)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie of this year hands down!

Blistering performances.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

The great incredible story of professor Stephen Hawking was sincerely reflected on screen through the The Theory of Everything movie. I have to start with Eddie Redmayne's performance which genuinely exceeds any other performance I have ever seen in my life and in cinema, I really thought for a whole bunch of time I was watching the professor himself especially in his advanced stages of motor neurone disease , It's that kind of performance that still no award is made for it. Felicity did a great job too and had a beautiful chemistry with Eddie. The music of the film was very beautiful and a great companion to the performances and the screenplay was beautiful and careful too. The story only focused on his suffering with a small glimpse about his extraordinary theory and his genius mind which seemed to me as a story of a person that was suffering from a rare disease and was challenging to live and came up with a tremendous theory which could fill some parts where the story was away from him focusing on his wife and how in my opinion she was as he told her in the beginning that she was unaware and taken when she offered that they marry by what she did in the movie in the end of the movie and when he lived more than two years which was so awful and a very bad ending to such a great effort done with such a great person. In the end the movie is included in the 1001 must watch movies before you die so don't miss it. 8.5/10 with a great salute.

Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking is brilliant. This biopic has given the layman an illustration of the universe master, Stephen Hawking, how he was as a child,as a student, as a lover, as a husband and as everything. For those of us who are in awe of Stephen and his works, this film is a pretty close depiction of the man and his defiance of his debilitating condition which makes us all wonder if he could have lived longer to see some of his theories proven true. An awesome, humbling film.

As a glamorized story of perseverance saddled with romance, "The Theory of Everything" is a success. At the core this is a dramatization that makes for an emotional journey deliberating the weight of belief in several aspects. No one should judge this as if it ought to be a wealth of information to students of science. If you want facts, do research; don't fall back on drama. At times it was hard to watch; for me that made it more affective. Occasionally cliche, though I expected that. While I would recommend this to select people I am unlikely to revisit it myself. One only needs so much romantic drama, even if it has a few more elements to offer.

When there's life there's hope, this changed my thinking and my life too.
