Hawking's smile

Before watching this movie, my impression of Hawking was that he was a great scientist with a disability and a strong will (?).
When watching this film, because my knowledge of mathematics, physics and other subjects was extremely poor, I was at a loss for many dialogues.
But I said to myself: It's okay, I'm looking at BC.

Strangely, looking at it, I can't see BC anymore, I only see Hawking.
After reading it, I googled "Hawking", looked at his photos, looked at his character introduction... Gradually, the images of BC and Hawking became one.

In the film, what impressed me the most was Hawking's smile.
Even if he suffers from a rare terminal illness, and even if he is unable to recover, all he shows is short-term pain and occasional struggle.
More often, he smiles. He smiles most when he is discussing academic issues with his friends. He smiles the most when he calculates on the blackboard all night and comes to the conclusion that the professor is wrong. He laughed the happiest when he appeared...
No matter what kind of smile it was, I saw the innocence of a scientific genius—the undivided innocence of pursuing and upholding beliefs, so pure and so touching.

When he talked about stars, time, and the universe, he became a child full of romantic feelings, and he described these abstract and boring knowledge in extremely beautiful language.
His description convinces unfamiliar or close women.
It is said that smart men are the sexiest, so Hawking, who twists his body on crutches but happily talks to you about the mysteries of the universe, must be the most attractive man.
No one will be surprised by Jane's final decision.

Finally, let's talk about BC, I really don't know how he did it.
From the lines to the body, he played Hawking alive. It is said that Hawking also gave a high evaluation after watching the film.
How many symptoms of this kind of patient need to be observed, in order to fully understand Hawking's performance at each stage of the disease!
BC did it!
