The Theory Of Everything

Wow! Some film! I see some critics have whined about a lack of science input and vague physics. This film is about the MAN, not his maths. It is about a very gifted individual who suffered an incredibly debilitating disease so early in his life. It demonstrates his determination and that of his young wife to face up to, deal and live with, the terrible effects of his incapacity. The film is nicely shot. It is not a "weepy", far from it. Redmayne is outstanding as Hawking. His likeness makes the film even more credible. His long suffering, but doting and loving wife, played by Felicity Jones, is also moving and she quickly engages the viewer. The film glosses over Hawking's science. Rightly so. Particle physics and cosmology are not easily understood by most people anyway, let alone trying to cram them into a film for the general public. To do so would have reduced this film to the level of a TV documentary. Yes, it could point out a little more clearly, that Hawking was far from alone in his field, but he was building of work already done. But ALL scientists do this. Thats how science progresses and it is impossible to credit every scientist over the past 80years in a film such as this.. Overall this a very, very good, moving, account of his life, his demons and his achievements. It is about family values and morality. It is a credit to Redmayne and Jones, but it highlights very well the notion that despite all that may befall you, it is still possible to achieve in life. Excellent viewing. (Except, perhaps, you are a Cosmologist!)

There was something special about this film. It portrays Jane's love,encouragement, care and amazing commitment to Stephen in such a realistic way. You are drawn into the pain, suffering and humour of this remarkable family. So often today, films are creating scenes that 'flit' backward and forwards at such an alarming rate...it was a joy to watch a true 'drama'. I was drawn into it immediately was and affected with the vast range of emotions from all the characters. There is no doubt that Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of Stephen was remarkable. The struggles of the characters were sensitively developed rather than being sensational. I find it difficult to describe this film adequately. It has that 'something special' and I honestly don't know what it is. I had seen it in the cinema and glad to have my own copy. Also priced very reasonably too.

Many reviewers here have written at length about this film and the performances in it. Suffice it to say I found it both fascinating and involving, with excellent acting turns throughout. Mr Redmayne may have won the prizes for his performance but I thought Ms Jones was equally excellent; for me it was very much a double act. This is very much a film about their relationship(s) rather than Stephen Hawking's works - though there is a nod here and there to the brilliance. A beautiful film, beautifully performed, which had me in tears more than once. What an extraordinary life.

Redmayne's performance is mesmerizing. Truly amazing. Some of the finest screen acting I have seen. The film itself almost works....the story is well known, so I won't repeat it here. The shortcoming of the film is that so huge, great and influential life is very difficult to cover in a single film and keep entertaining, and so there are omissions and it doesn't quite work completely, even with the huge crop of talented British actors. But it is a very sound attempt to cover the Hawkin's story in a manageable film. Recommended, if for no other reason than to see Redmayne's performance.

Entirely true and comical in places with a couple of sad parts.

Happy with purchase

This is such a great movie - I love it so much. Even though Eddie Redmayne is playing a character who ends up disabled, and eventually doesn't meet my usual visuals for attraction - I totally fell for him watching this! Haha! I love the story of Hawking as I'd never really known much about him before; it's a really interesting and personal insight into his life and the beginning of his disease - as well as a wonderful story of how he continued and thrived in his adult life. I love it.

I really don't know what to say other than wow. It was well written but completely brought to life by the immense capability of the two lead actors. I saw it in the cinema and immediately went to buy it. Not initially intending to watch it again but I felt a need to support such a fantastic British Film as I feel with our support there will be more films made to such a high standard. I have since watched it again once I received the DVD and it never fails to blow me away. It was also interesting to find out more about Steven Hawking, someone who I have admired scientifically but have never really considered his background.

" Ich versuche gerade, die mathematische Wahrscheinlichkeit für Glück zu errechnen. " Cambridge, England, 1963: " Hallo. " - " Hallo. " - " Naturwissenschaft. " - " Sprachen. " - " Ich bin Kosmologe. So eine Art Religion für intelligente Atheisten. Woran wir glauben? An die eine einheitliche Gleichung, die das gesamte Universum erklärt. " - " Und wie sieht die aus? " - " Das ist die Frage. Eine sehr gute Frage- ich bin noch nicht ganz sicher. Aber ich werde es herausfinden.................". Jane und Stephen, so lernen sie sich kennen. Doch ihr fröhliches Miteinander währt nur kurz, Stephen erkrankt. Schwer. " Wenn dir irgendwas an mir liegt, dann geh` jetzt. Bitte. " - " Ich kann nicht. " - " Ich hab` noch Zwei Jahre zu leben, ich muß arbeiten.......". - " Ich liebe dich. " - " Du und ich,.....das ist ein Fehlschluß. " DIE ENTDECKUNG DER UNENDLICHKEIT: James Marsh, auch bekannt durch die für mich absolut klasse Dokumentation " Man on wire " , erzählt die Lebensgeschichte des berühmten Astro- Physikers Stephen Hawking- mit einem hingebungsvollen Eddie Redmayne als gebrechlichen Helden." Ich will, dass wir zusammen sind. Solange es noch geht. " - " Du weißt nicht, was noch kommt..........,- es wird alles verändern.........". Die Liebe, so heißt es im 1. Korintherbrief in der Bibel, erträgt alles, glaubt alles, hofft alles, hält allem stand. So lebten die Hawkings offenbar jahrelang, so spielen Redmayne und Jones. Der Film folgt beider Leben mit Respekt. ************************************************************************** Geschichte: Die Liebe- sie gibt dem vom Schicksal getroffenen Stephen neuen Lebensmut. Jane - mit ihrer Unterstützung stürzt er sich in ein wichtiges Projekt, erforscht genau das, wovon ihm nur noch wenig bleibt: Die Zeit. Stephen Hawking- einer der brilliantesten Physiker unserer Zeit. ****************************************************************************************************************** Mein berührtes Fazit: Die Diagnose lautet: ALS, eine degenerative Krankheit des motorischen Nervensystems. Weltbekannt ist die Ikone Stephen Hawking. Der Mann, der im Rollstuhl zwar seine Bewegungs- und Sprachfähigkeit verlor, aber mittels eines augengesteuerten Sprachcomputers Vorträge halten kann. " Den Verstand betrifft es nicht. Sie werden ihre Gedanken nur keinem mehr mitteilen können. " " Das menschliche Streben sollte keine Grenzen kennen. Wie schlimm das Leben auch scheinen mag,....... solange ich lebe, hoffe ich. " Zuletzt leugnete er die Existenz der " schwarzen Löcher " und warnte eindringlich vor Außerirdischen. DIE ENTDECKUNG DER UNENDLICHKEIT st ein emotional sehr berührender Film, der besonders von der Beziehung der beiden Hauptcharaktere lebt. Teilweise empfand ich manche Szenen etwas zu langatmig, doch aufgrund der Bedeutung des Verhältnisses der beiden Figuren ist dies natürlich verständlich. Ein Film der guten Kombinationen- er ist berührend, ohne kitschig zu sein, komisch, ohne albern zu sein und interessant, ohne abgehoben zu sein. Und Stephen Hawking gewinnt sehr viel mehr an Lebensmut, als ihm die Ärzte je hätten prophezeien wollen. Dieser Film feiert das Leben und die Liebe. " Wenn Einstein Recht hat, wenn die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie stimmt, breitet sich das Universum aus. Stimmt`s ? " - " Ja. " - " Das heißt, wenn man die Zeit umkehrt, wird das Universum kleiner. " - " Klar. " - " Was, wenn ich den Prozess umkehre,.... ganz auf Anfang gehe, um zu sehen, was am Beginn der Zeit selbst war? " - " Am Beginn der Zeit selbst? " - " Ja. Das Universum wird kleiner und kleiner, dichter und dichter......... " - " Du drehst die Zeit zurück.....". - " Genau. Ich drehe die Zeit zurück. " Lauflänge: 118.16 Minuten( mit Abspann ) ! Tipp!

I was beyond stunned by the beauty of THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING. Everything about this film is stellar-especially the amazing cast . I held back for a long time in seeing this film thinking I wasn't interested in a film about a science genius. THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING is actually the story of two people in love and defying amazing odds. Based on Jane Hawking's book about her life with Stephen Hawking, THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING bombards us with the stark reality of a love story in crisis. She was there with him from the beginning. A shy young lady named Jane (the gorgeous Felicity Jones) falls in love with science geek Stephen Hawking. The film is slow moving at first and seemingly uninspired. It's a "we've seen it before" love story between a beautiful lady and a nerdy geek. But, suddenly, the story shifts and we are riveted to the end. Hawking is diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Doctors give him two years to live. Here is where the story really begins as Jane eagerly embraces a chance to spend those two years with Hawking and be by his side. But through an amazing miracle and twist, Hawking lives decades beyond his promised two years. A truly remarkable and bittersweet story emerges as Jane becomes the eternal caregiver to Hawking as well as mother to their children. Here is a rarely explored side to the Stephen Hawking story and it makes for a fascinating film. The caregiver's story is often neglected and finally we see a loving and courageous woman buckling to the stress. Eddie Redmayne does an incredibly realistic portrayal of Hawking as his body deteriorates. Redmayne puts his soul and body into the role. This was a physically challenging role and Redmayne portrays Hawking with sensitivity and realism. This is a beautiful period piece that is stunning to look at. THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING is inspiring, heartbreaking and bittersweet but we see love overcomes all adversity...but even love has its limits in the end.

Beautiful, tragic story.
