Movie Review - The Theory of Everything - More About Stephen Hawking Than Math
I'm a bit of a science geek -- okay, I'm a huge science geek -- so I'm aware of Stephen Hawking and his theories. However, I knew very little about him, beyond his illness. It was a real treat getting a glimpse into the personal life of the guy. Best of all, I enjoyed seeing the wit and humor of a man who can barely express himself.
It's important to know that this movie isn't just about Stephen Hawking. It's just as much a story about Jane Hawking, his wife.
Eddie Redmayne, as Stephen Hawking, was magnificent. He did a wonderful job of subtly expressing the emotions of a man trapped in an expressionless body. If this isn't Oscar material, I don't know what is.
Don't worry. The movie doesn't get bogged down in science. It is first and foremost a love story.
