Hawking's story is known very early, and every time I see his photos, I feel incredible. A person who was originally declared to have only 2 years of life left, literally lived for more than 50 years, and he is still there. And the greater miracle is his achievement. The body is completely distorted and deformed, unable to move and speak, and it is not easy to live, let alone become a great physicist. (PS. Another miracle that makes me feel beyond common sense is Helen Keller and her teacher Sullivan)
Put aside the live-action film. This kind of film adapted from a real person is not exactly the same as an adaptation of a real story. The focus is never on how climax the story is told, but on how to convey the thoughts and feelings of the characters. At least after this film, we can feel Hawking's enthusiasm for physics and the beauty of science.
I have to think of Ninomiya Kazuya’s "Never Give Up" (the story of an American salesman who adapted his own disability, I have not seen the American version of the movie), the atmosphere of the film is very similar, the same The body is twisted, the same slur, the same persistence. In a different place, if "Never Give Up" also shows a little bit of human indifference, this "Hawking Biography" is completely focused on the fascinating science, no discrimination, and physical disability has become a foil.
Then I had to express my respect for the leading actors of the two films, which profoundly interpreted "on the comprehensive qualities of actors." What is acting? The villain? A finely divided role with a complicated personality? Oh no. In that way, I have to leave aside the character and lines to comment. Expressions, body movements, voice and tone, etc., these are the things that really belong to the actor are the criteria for judging.
Finally, let me sigh with the green faces of BC and Nino back then. The youthful years are really beautiful things.
