Original Title: The Theory of Everything
Director: James Marsh
Screenplay: Anthony McCarten
Genre: Biographical/Drama
Country: United Kingdom
Release Date: January 30, 2015 (Poland) September 7, 2014 (Worldwide) Medical
Theme: The progression of a neurodegenerative disease and the passage of time
The life story of one of the most outstanding scientists of all time, Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne), and his marriage to Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones), whom he married in 1965. This relationship lasted nearly thirty years, marked by the stigma of illness and genius (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
This film is highly recommended. It tells the story of an extraordinary man—the creator of the theory of black holes, an unrivaled mathematician, an academic luminary, and a writer. Watching it, we can closely follow the process of Hawking’s body (but not his mind) being degraded and ravaged by the disease, as well as the breakdown of his marriage. It is a very authentic, thought-provoking film, and Redmayne’s performance is admirable.
