Brilliant, beautiful and poignant. Thats how I would summarise The Theory of Everything Movie. A biopic on renowned Physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking
, TTOE is already nominated for the Oscars for Best Picture as well as
Best actor and actress category. Justifying that selection in every
respect, the film is backed up by powerful acting along with
outstanding cinematography and background score to make for an intense
movie that will stay on our minds for quite sometime.
The film focus on the early life of Stephen, a brilliant student at Cambridge university. He is diagnosed with a rare disease called motor neuron and has two years to live. In Cambridge he meets Jane Wilde shortly before Stephen is diagnosed with the disease but ignoring all this Jane decides to fight that together and marries him. Movie primarily focus on how they met, their early marriage life, Stephen's most challenging phase in life once he is mostly paralysed without the ability to speak and finally the meeting with the Queen when he is offered Knighthood which he actually rejected.
Based on a book written by Jane himself the film also show their separation stage when Stephen divorced Jane and starts life with his nurse. The movie has many moments that stays on our mind and i should say that the direction as well as the screenplay had a major role to play in that apart from the performances of the lead actors.
Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking was a treat to watch and rightly so he is right up there as an Oscar nominee for the Best Actor. There were moments he had to literally use just his eyes to express without any voice and facial expressions and the guy was on top of it giving a performance that will touch you. Equally good and complimenting was Felicity Jones as Jane and Stephen's lover and later his better half. Rest of the supporting casts was also able to perform well and among them, the nurse who later becomes part of Stephen's life was able to come up with a nice performance though the character appear only towards the end. The actor who portrayed Stephen's professor also did a fine act.
So overall, The Theory of Everything is one movie you will definitely cherish and this is a must watch movie for its quality in acting, music, cinematography and above all to know in detail the life of Stephen Hawking. More than his academics, physics and scientific theories, its his love life and his fight with the motor neurone disease that gets more prominence here. I go with four out of five as my personal rating for this movie.
Rating - 4 / 5
