Three movies so far have actually made me cry. Titanic by James Cameron, Hachi: A Dog's Tale by Lasse Hallström, and finally this one.
Such a touching, moving and impressive piece of art. I do not care about objectivity, this movie is oscar movie is worth 11 out of 10I have never seen such a incredible fusion between documentary, biography, drama and romance movie, just remarakble. Not to mention extraordinarily acting done by Eddie Redmayne, his one face expression, without saying a single word, has told literally a thousand things. Telling such a incredible story with primary use of face expression is surely quite a challenge, and it's just perfect.
The storytelling and the way characters are being elaborated is terrific and pretty accurate.Anyone who has basic knowledge and is interested (loves) in physics, particularly cosmology, and is familiar with dr. Hawkings work and his life (has read The brief history of time and The theory of everything) CAN NOT STAY lukewarm and listless.Objectively, this is a excellent oscar worth movie.Subjectively speaking, as a physics enthusiast, both this movie and Genius TV series are pure masterpieces."We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."

It was obvious that this will be mostly about their romance, marriage, and not about Stephen Hawking's work, ideas. And that was good for me. Beginning was good, not great. What irritated me was that almost constant yellow shine, blurred picture - it should increase idealistic atmosphere, or what ? Anyway, they felt in love, then came horrible news about disease, and Jane proved saying: 'after every successful man, there is a woman' . It was in fast pace, marriage, children came fast, but that was basically a must - when you want to present almost whole life of someone.
Thing became bad after that: 'That was most English thing ...' I don't know how it came - there are choirs in other countries, with plenty of women in . But it sounded well, indeed. So, some other people jumped in their lives, and that was just presented poorly. I was not aware until end text, that they divorced. Whole alienation of couple was not presented well. I guess, they just avoided that unpleasant part. Then was that celebration interview in USA, not really good climax.
Why he refused knighthood ? - And that was very last text of movie (refusement). Maybe that was because he felt not deserving it because of broken marriage ?
Anyway, this is overrated by me. Acting was fine, camera not, direction OK. But script could do many things better. Only 1 day after, I forgot most of it.
