This is a very warm movie, and it made us sigh and also moved after watching it. For viewers who know Professor Hawking, we all know roughly what kind of story this will be. The film focuses on the relationship between Professor Hawking and his wife Jane over the years, from love at first sight when they were young, when Jane learned that Professor Hawking was sick (two years of life), and still insisted on marrying him, to the aggravation of Professor Hawking's illness. He took great care of him. Even if we have never had such an experience, we can still imagine how much courage and endurance it will take. It can be said that Jane's motivation at the beginning came entirely from her love for Professor Hawking. They fell in love. Although Professor Hawking became more and more ill, they still lived happily. After having children, Professor Hawking's work began to attract attention. But as time went on, the pressure on Jane's shoulders grew, until one day she couldn't hold on anymore.
Jonathan's presence brought some kind of change in Jane's heavy family life. In the end, the affection between the two of them is almost what we can imagine. But always, no one is to blame. Everyone in the story can be understood by us, whether it is for Jane, for Professor Hawking or later for Jonathan and Irene. Even if Professor Hawking has figured out the great questions of black holes, how time, the beginning of the universe and whether it has boundaries, he has to face the daily life of ordinary people, the sadness, Regret, loss and grief. Of course, the fading of love, the end of marriage and the feeling of good for another person... all the time. It's like the contradiction between quantum mechanics and general relativity mentioned in the movie. They do not operate according to unified laws, but each has its own laws. Life, marriage, and even the human mind all have their own laws, and there is no way to find a one-size-fits-all universal law that will make them work together.
Kant said that there are two things that fascinate people, the first is the deep starry sky above the head, and the second is the human mind. The movie is called The Theory of Everything, but so many outstanding physicists, like Newton, like Einstein, all want to find a universal formula that connects everything and explains how everything works. Perhaps for the physical world, there will be such a formula in the future, but for the human mind and emotion, we can safely say that there will never be such a formula. It's as if for thousands of years we've tried to unravel the mysteries of love, but we've been unable to do anything about it until now. As Professor Hawking said in his final speech, "We are all different", and "different" is the most exciting part of both the physical world and human beings. It's as if Einstein hated peas in potatoes. If the world was full of potatoes, how boring it would be!
The line Jane said to Professor Hawking in the movie "I used to love you, I tried my best..." is heartbreaking, but this is reality, this is life, and we have to face it, even if it hurts our hearts and makes We are heartbroken. The time we speak of is fleeting to the universe, but to us—these moments—are precious. When love is lost and marriage is over, perhaps the most appropriate way is to let go and let the lovers get married. "The Theory of Everything" tells the story of not only Professor Hawking's grand ambitions for the universe and time, but also his life. Can the formula that unifies everything be found? None of us know!
