We just can't walk together

This is the movie I've watched in the near future that I most hope to write about.

The greatest feeling that the whole film brings to people is power, which is not exposed, but extremely deep. Just like life, there is always a burst of vitality in some mundane places. I always prefer stories like this, and don't show too much outside vision, expectations and guidance from the outside world, everything is my own choice. This kind of most authentic touch is incapable of being moved. The lens is only a faithful record of what kind of hero Hawking is, what kind of frostbite patient, what kind of scientist he is, and what kind of husband and father he is. From time to time, it seems like Hawking himself is portraying, adding romance to certain scenes. Or a somber filter.

The experience itself is not shocking, it is their choice that shocks. "What about my brain?" This sentence is full of subconscious and caring actions under the interpretation of small freckles. This is Hawking. He doesn't really care where the body is, but the soul is always in the deep universe. Facing love is not gentle, if it comes, he will catch it. Bravery and decisiveness are not enough to describe him. This makes the film so fluent, it also fascinates me deeply. When Jane chose to walk with Hawking, when she gave up Jonathan, when Jonathan chose to be with them, when he returned to Jane again... This story is a huge regret, but every second is full of warmth.

The theory of everything, it not only explains to us how great Hawking is, but also allows people to see the complex meaning of emotions. I didn't feel that Hawking and Jane no longer love each other until the end. I see love as a kind of soul attraction, and even if it is totally different, Hawking is still a strong, passionate soul, and so is Jane. It's just that life is so difficult, and the price of their love is so great that no one can afford it, so they have to let go, have to bid farewell, and have to give each other new expectations. Under the gentle light, they looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that no one had done anything wrong. If there is no frostbite, there are so many possibilities for them to stay together until they are old, but there is only a bleak reality in front of them.

At the end, Hawking and Jane hand in hand towards glory, which may be the farthest shore they can reach successfully.
