Hawking, played by Eddie Redmayne, is really alike. Although Geek in the early years, his eyes were full of inspiration, but it was not the kind of "I am a genius" written on his face. Also very humorous, can pick up girls, very charming. Then the "gradual freezing" syndrome gradually occurred, and every step of the body's deterioration, no matter its posture and demeanor, showed very real life. After entering old age, this image of Hawking has been deeply rooted in my heart, and I am more familiar with the real person Hawking's image of old age, so that in the last speech, I almost forgot that the actor was on stage. Even Hawking himself made similar comments after watching the film. Eddie Redmayne must have worked hard to study Hawking himself. Compared with Turing, Hawking is indeed a lot more vivid. Of course, it is easier to attract attention and achieve success if you play such a role with a living, accessible imitation (Turing is dead and BC suffers), and with such distinctive characteristics, but he won the Oscar winner at a young age. Not too much reputation. I have to admire the British actor's theatrical skills, worthy of the name of an actor.
"Theory of Everything" is based on the autobiography of Hawking's first wife Jane. So the main body of this movie is the process between the two people from meeting to parting. In the 30-year span, as mentioned above, it is not easy to make a running account. Since the time span is so long, the film can only focus its firepower on other dimensions, and this is the woman behind Hawking. Based on Hawking's special status and physical condition, their husband and wife relationship and family life must be unusual. When Hawking's thinking gallops in the history of the universe and time (I am deeply impressed by the montage of the coffee's milk flower rotating into the universe), Jane's world has shrunk to the walls of the room. After all, she was once a PhD specializing in Spanish medieval literature. In 30 years, three children, Hawking’s achievements, a little bit worsening of his body, and Jane’s one year old age, life is difficult step by step. Life will eventually obliterate the original beauty, and the marriage of Hawking and Jane is gradually being swallowed by the black hole of time. The two parties finally treated each other frankly, pursuing the rest of their lives. The theme of Hawking's research is time in the cosmic dimension, and the hardships of the Hawking family reflect the time in the human dimension. The two echo each other and are a good idea.
However, this is also the shortcoming of the film. Although the parties all said that the description of the film is true, because they are still alive and influential, the film inevitably dilutes and beautifies the "black hole" of their marriage. As a result, we see a vivid Hawking, but feel that Less than his complex and three-dimensional character. Although the film does not conceal that Jane and Jonathan, who often come to help, are in love with each other, she still feels a little bit out of ordinary standards in reality. Generally speaking, it feels a bit white. Note that this is a whitewash, not an adaptation to create a dramatic conflict.
White people often bring pale people. Fortunately, the film was whitewashed fairly well, and it is understandable given that the person involved is still alive. For the imitation of Eddie Redmayne and to understand Hawking's life, "Theory of Everything" is worth watching.
