Review of The Theory of Everything (2014) by Spencer S — 17 Mar 2015

Eddy Redmayne won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a leading role. And this is no surprising. It's rather exceptional to watch movies with such acting skills. It allows you to follow step-by-step the degeneration of Professor Hawkings, caused by his illness. This give rise to scenes among the most moving and poignant that you can find in recent productions.

?The Theory of Everything? offers you an overview about the life of one the greatest physicist today. From how he became the genius that everybody knows, to the private family life of the invalid man.

The first half of the movie is amazing. You just put your feet in Stephen's shoes and you live with him his first love, receiving his Ph. D., and getting the bright idea of black holes. I think that it is engrossing to learn the way in which a scientist makes a discovery, better than be taught only his theories.

However, as soon as Jonathan appears in the story, the movie get unfortunately very flat. The scenario only focus on the emotional on the emotional life of Stephen, and the brilliant picture becomes a dull love-story. That's too bad, because the first hour is stunning, but the movie ends with monotony.

Finally, ?The Theory of Everything? remains an excellent movie, that I can only advisor.
