'The theory of everything' is a British movie which is based on Jane Wilde Hawking's book on her life with her ex-husband Stephen W Hawking who is a theoretical physicist adapted by Anthony McCarten.
The movie starts with a very unusual
top-ish framing at the beginning which is out of focus which establishes
the state of health of Stephen W Hawking in present times who is eventually becoming weak due to motor neuron disease before we are taken on a time, in the 60's when Stephen W Hawking a brilliant but somewhat shy British student who turns into a world renowned theoretical physicist who never made excuses because of his difficulties.
'The theory of everything' is a very
hooking drama directed by James Marsh. Stephen W Hawking character played by Eddie Redmayne who falls in
love with Felicity Jones as Jane a literature student at Cambridge. They both are doing
PHD's as they fall in love and the chemistry happens and hence the molecules bond.
The filmmakers also used the tool of foreshadowing before Hawking discovers the disease with the chair which shows various state of deteriorating physical health and speech by the character of Stephen W Hawking with progress of time as he fights the disease for which there
is no cure and losing his motor skills and eventually his speech but he learns to speak with his famous synthesized voice and he pens 'A Brief History of Time'. Hawking contradicts himself disapproving the equation of Almighty's role in creation of universe in physics and later on his theory as he combines the two opposing theories.
The film depicts the English country side, Cambridge campus and the river filled with rowing boats, fireworks filling the night sky at the ball filled with youth and the ever changing weather and color tonality which is shot by Benoît Delhomme and beautiful ambiances with moving picture edited by
Jinx Godfrey well paced often too long but the narrative demands stay for audiences to savor Hawking's thoughts and feelings towards his wife,family and friends.
The music and sound creates the mood and ambiance which is most of the time centered at large conferences, college lecture halls, theaters and closed claustrophobic rooms. The costume and hair,makeup was apt and near to reality as the character grew older in lives which is set in different periods of time and decades.
