Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

likejoker I was amazed when I came across this movie. Somehow it went past me onnoticed eventhough I'm a fan of the Universe and Mr. Hawkings himself.While I see how this movie stands out even more when someone is interested in science and/or want to know more about Mr. Hawkings life, I would still recommend it to most people.It is one piece of overall knowledge which I would welcome to have If I wouldn't already. The acting is astounding and the struggle is felt deep inside.I didn't know beforehand the name of Mr. Hawkings wife so I wasn't spoiled how the movie might end. But it doesn't matter or rather wouldn't have. The ending was satisfying. Somewhat sad but also happy.This movie has many messages to receive or interpreted. Personally not a niche movie at all.

laurenberman The 2014 film The Theory of Everything, based on Jane Hawking's memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, depicts the life of theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne). The film does not just focus on Hawking's progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that causes him to be in a wheelchair and speak through a computer system. It shows his relationship with his ex-wife, Jane Hawking (Felicity Jones), and his successes in physics. ALS is fittingly shown as just one part of Hawking's extraordinary life.The movie has received criticism for casting Redmayne as Hawking and being "the latest" performance "in a long line of what detractors call 'cripping up': able-bodied actors taking on disabled roles, which some critics find as deplorable as the thankfully outdated practice of white actors pretending to be black". I too would be critical of this casting decision were it not for the special circumstances of this film.The film is meant to reflect Jane Hawking's memoir, a story that shows Hawking's life before and after his diagnosis and through every stage of his ALS's progression. This situation is not identical to a character who is always seen in a wheelchair being played by a nondisabled actor or a character who is born blind being played by a seeing actor. When the circumstances prevent the role of a disabled character from being filled by a disabled actor, there are certain steps that must be taken to ensure that the experiences of disabled people are as accurately portrayed as possible. The Theory of Everything does a very good job of fulfilling this criteria.First of all, Redmayne spent over four months studying Hawking's life, watching every video he could find on him and reading books written by him. Redmayne worked with a choreographer to record and analyze every movement from picking up a pen to drinking to walking. To understand and accurately portray how the disease affected Hawking throughout the different stages, Redmayne met with over 30 people affected by ALS and viewed photographs of Hawking throughout his life.Most importantly, Hawking was consulted during every stage of the movie's production. Redmayne met with him before starting to film, and he visited the set during production. Before the movie was released, Hawking viewed the film and gave his approval. Redmayne's hard work paid off, as Hawking called the film "broadly true" and that there were "certain points when he thought he was watching himself". After the screening, "Hawking was so pleased with the movie" that he let the filmmakers use his own, trademarked computerized voice.In instances when disabled characters cannot be played by disabled actors, it is crucial that people affected by that specific disability are included in the process and that their concerns are listened to. Since everyone's experiences are different, multiple people must be consulted. The experiences of disabled people must not be misrepresented, and the reinforcement of stereotypes must be avoided. The motto of the disability rights movement, "Nothing about us without us", applies to media representations as well.When portraying disability, care must be taken to ensure accurate representation and people within the disability community must be included in the process.

Aayush Shah Aah actually no to say anything... it was just greatA movie.... Not actually a movie but it really feels real situation How sir Stephen's life GROWN not like other scientists... but an Unique who have proved his theory wrong just to prove his theory. And also that is called a real love from Jane. This movie is really sensitively attached with every scene and I just loved it.How willpower does he has! Not imaginable...I'm actually loved the last scenes... How director has knew what we need that time... And for satisfaction he once made Stephen sir to get up from the chair... How lovely was that! And in last he has proved his intelligence with revising the whole movie till the first scene when Jane met Hawking.And truly emotionally attached it me with all the life he had. There is no negative point of this movie and really when I'm writing this I watched it twice to get more emotional....But I gave it 4 and half ratings... But the half rating is cut for they haven't shown us HOW HE DISCOVERED HIS THEORY. His efforts and to researches those are lacing part.. but still it's the best movie I have seen ... So i am gonna watch it again... What by you?
