I have loved you. I did my best.

Hawking's genius and academic achievements are beyond doubt. His love story is indeed like the first half of the fairy tale fantasy, the second half as cruel as reality. He met Jane at a party in Cambridge. Jane, who is studying history and language, is every man's dream woman, beautiful, gentle, considerate, and more valuable is willing to devote herself to the person she loves, brave and firm. In the movie, they fall in love at first sight, and the process of falling in love is actually not described much. Hawking was soon found to be terminally ill, with doctors warning he had only two years to live. At this time, Jane went to Hawking very resolutely and told him that she loved him, wanted to marry him, and wanted to challenge the disease with him. After the marriage, Jane took good care of Hawking, who was in decline, and gave birth to two children for him. But the burden of taking care of the family took her breath away. At this time, she met Johnathan, the pastor who taught music in the church. He was a divorced pastor, so he began to break into their lives to help Jane take care of Hawking and the children. Actually plays the role of father and husband. When Jane's third child was born, Johnathan was very suspicious in the eyes of outsiders. In the face of external pressure and doubts, the two had to break up, while acknowledging their own feelings and attachments to each other. Hawking's condition was getting worse and worse. In order to take care of him after the operation, they hired a more experienced nurse, Elaine. Elaine took good care of Hawking and was able to take care of Hawking's various needs. The attachment shifted to Elaine. By the time Jane realized this, it was too late. In the film, Jane sadly said to Hawking: "I have loved you. I did my best." This sentence is so sad. After Jane left Hawking, she returned to Johnathan's side, which was a good ending, at least someone was waiting for her. The movie ended with a relatively happy ending. In reality, Hawking divorced Jane, who had accompanied him for many years and sacrificed a lot, and married Elaine, a nurse. After all, love is no match for companionship.

Several details appear repeatedly in the film, Jane helps Hawking clean his glasses, "your glasses is always dirty." I think, every man's glasses are a little dirty, and they need a loved one to help clean them from time to time.

    It's completely a romance movie, and it doesn't really have much to do with the "theory of everything" (of course, if you want to say that the theory of everything is love...), even if you accept this setting, the drama is too second, right? No matter how exquisite the music is on the screen, the characters are all flat, and it would not be different if Hawking is replaced by any ordinary person story. The freckles are pretty good, but I just look at him

    "I have loved you. I did my best." The formula of love. The male and female protagonists catch people, and the soundtrack is exquisite and charming, but the facts are too flat and can't be saved. ★★★

The Theory of Everything quotes

  • Stephen Hawking: It is clear that we are just an advanced breed of primates on a minor planet orbiting around a very average star, in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. BUT, ever since the dawn of civilization people have craved for an understanding of the underlying order of the world. There ought to be something very special about the boundary conditions of the universe. And what can be more special than that there is no boundary? And there should be no boundary to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope.

  • Cockcroft Guest 2: Now you are recognized everywhere. How do you deal with all the attention?

    Stephen Hawking: [grinning] I was stopped recently by a tourist at Cambridge who asked if I was the real Stephen Hawking. I replied I was not, and said the real one was much better looking.

    Audience: [laughing]
