Is love enough?

The little freckles won the Oscar for this, and this performance is worthy. Scientists are not good at acting. Nash's case, Hawking will only be more difficult.

The film uses an elegant rhythm to describe the family and love of the science giant. As a result, we saw the high-spirited Hawking and the beautiful Cambridge campus during his student days. This quiet narrative style has always supported the entire movie, and the BG is also quite in place, comfortable and not too overwhelming.

The first expected conflict came when Hawking was disheartened when he learned that he had ALS. The love of the last two people supported Hawking and this medical miracle. However, the tone of the whole film does not stop there. There is nothing wrong with the translation of this film as "The Equation of Love" before. I haven't seen the original biography written by Hawking's ex-wife, so I don't know if the show was written by a lady with a Ph.D.

But this turned into an embarrassment or a bad hint. The most fascinating dramatic conflict in Hawking's biographical films is, of course, the extreme contradiction between an imprisoned body and an infinite mind. It is puzzling that the entire film ignores Hawking's truly great scientific exploits in such difficult circumstances. Not only that, the description of Hawking's difficulties in the whole film is like a touch of water, and the description of the results of his academic research is even more understated, which is a problem of film technique.

Hawking has been described as a genius, which is not a problem. But then more and more people feel that although Hawking is unfortunate, there is a timely appearance of a wife who loves him and various suitable props (including wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, writing boards, automatic synthetic speech systems, etc.) and various With awards coming one after another, such a cleaning arrangement is unnerving.

It's not fair. Even if Hawking wasn't such a gentleman in and out of life, it wouldn't be fair as a biopic. Maybe the big names working hard in the film circle really have a hard time understanding the rigor of pure theoretical research. Maybe some viewers with a voyeuristic mind also like to watch all kinds of gossip about famous people. Maybe at that time, Jane didn't have much energy to care about her husband. Academic research, perhaps the film's fear of possible obscure theories as a threshold for IQ at the box office.

In any case, The Theory of Everything is a story of love despite all its imperfections.

    This is not about Hawking's biography, but about the women behind Hawking. When his thoughts roamed the universe, her world had shrunk to the walls of the house. Perhaps the person concerned will know better than us: love should not be an appendage of any great mind. The performance of the little freckles made people cry like rain...

    The filming is so beautiful and fresh, it seems that I am getting more and more nervous now, and I will be deceived by this kind of drama. It can be seen that the director is still very capable. Not to mention the performance, the soundtrack is very comfortable, and the male match is a new male god.

The Theory of Everything quotes

  • Doctor: It's called motor neuron disease. It's a progressive neurological disorder that destroys the cells in the brain that control essential muscle activity, such as speaking, walking, breathing, swallowing. The signals that muscles must receive in order to move are disrupted. The result is gradual muscle decay. Wasting away. Eventually, the ability to control voluntary movement is lost. Entirely. I'm afraid average life expectancy is two years. There's nothing I can do for you.

    Stephen Hawking: What about the brain?

    Doctor: The brain isn't affected. Your thoughts won't change, it's... just that... Well, eventually, no one will know what they are.

  • Khalatnikov: [to a room full of physicists] As you know, my field is evolution of the hot universe, the properties of the microwave background radiation and the theory of black holes. To be honest, I came here today expecting to hear a lot of nonsense. I go home disappointed. The little one here has done it! He has done it!
