1. Know that he has written "A Brief History of Time", know that he has a disability, and know that he speaks like a robot now;
2. Have read "A Brief History of Time", or yes He has had more people who have mastered his theoretical physics;
3. People who thought he wrote Wei Xiaobao.
If you are 1 or 3, you will see a lot of "fresh" stories about him in "Theory of Everything"; and if you are 2, then the story presented to you by the movie will not be more than you can learn from Wikipedia. Much more. But whether you know it or not, you will love the liveliness that these people and things have when they are moved to the screen.
"Theory of Everything" tells the story of Hawking’s experience from Cambridge to his later years. It focuses on describing how he and his family (especially his wife Jane) resisted the devastation of ALS (Ice Bucket Challenge). The shell is an inspirational story. Film, and Shixin is a very human emotional film. Hawking, a staunch atheist from the top science field, met Jane, a devout Chinese Christian who was learning Spanish/French, at a party. They attracted and inspired each other, and a story unfolded.
A few minutes after the beginning of the film, we began to see some symptoms of Hawking’s physical changes, picking up the pen finger gesture, accidentally overturning coffee, almost missed the train, etc., until he fell on the campus and was finally diagnosed as suffering There is Motor Neutron Disease (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), one of its symptoms is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, "ALS"), telling him that he has only two years of life left. Hawking was depressed for a while. It was Jane's unwavering determination that made Hawking keep going. Not only did he get the doctor, he also released the death pigeon.
I think Jane is the real protagonist of the movie. At the end of the film, I saw that the script of the movie was based on a book written by Jane. The most captivating part of the whole film is Jane’s hard work and self-struggle while taking care of Hawking and a few children. The psychological entanglements that have arisen with the accumulation of years, Felicity Jones gave a very eye-catching performance, Jane’s strength And sensibility has been well explained. The only downside is that at every stage in the biography, Jones looks 10 years younger than Jane should be.
The biggest highlight of this movie is the performance. In addition to Felicity Jones, Eddie Redmayne, the actor who plays Hawking, is also very tough, and is still on the top of the list of most Olympic nominees in the minds of many people. Redmayne has been relying on the guidance of a dancer during the filming, and was able to show the different motions of Hawking under different physical conditions to life. What is even more impressive is that the movie was shot in accordance with the scene, not in chronological order, indicating that Redmayne In the process of filming (especially in Cambridge movies), I sometimes have to repeatedly change my form and posture. Not only in terms of posture, Redmayne has performed very well for Hawking's expressions, facial muscle movements, and even different ways of vocalization at different stages. As the movie progresses and Hawking's condition worsens, the audience sees the transition from a young man of science to being twisted in a wheelchair, which is very distressed and heartbroken. But at the same time, Hawking is very humorous from beginning to end, and many lines make people laugh. This year is indeed a good time for Redmayne to be nominated. (If there are a few people who are not surprised, it is fixed: Michael Keaton, Eddie Redmayne, Steve Carell, Benidict Cumberbatch, the winner I expect is Michael Keaton, or Jake Gyllenhaal) In
addition to the characters, the director and photography are in the film The colors used are also very beautiful, which is another highlight of the movie. The film was really dazzling.
However, for me, the film is too limited for Hawking’s personal achievements. It only gains momentum through some of the peak scenes of life and music effects, but it has not really developed the breakthrough in Hawking’s scientific research and related to it. Struggle. In the end, as a biographical genre, this movie is still a bit mediocre. If the script were written to someone like Aaron Sorkin, it might be a step up.
But on the whole, the movie didn't make people boring for a moment, the feelings were particularly full, and the film length in the first two hours was also very appropriate. In the end, my feeling was still very warm. The movie itself, the script, the performance of the two protagonists, and even the soundtrack all have a great chance of being nominated for an Oscar.
