Was really the movie about Hawking?

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2019)

Don't get me wrong, it's a good dramatic movie with great performances, but in the end i couldn't stop asking myself why in the middle of all that melancholia, the character that has more development is actually his wife?
She ends up having most moral dilemmas, character development and actual screentime than Stephen. It was like the movie was trying to send the message that if it weren't for her, Hawking wouldn't made it.
In fact, behind a great man there's always a great woman and vice versa, but since we were seeing a biopic about Hawking, kind of would made more sense for the argument and the camera to spend more time with him and less with his wife, particularly spending so much time around the obvious infidelity, of which we are deprived to see acomplished probably out of virtue signaling from the director.
From a "i love you no matter what" we come to the conclusion of "i have loved you", once again giving Jane almost a moral power over Hawking. Something like "you couldn't done it if it weren't for me, so i'm free from all my sins". It's a subversive dialogue of a woman having power over a crippled man. And it all happens when Hawking admits God exists, giving Jane a triumphant final moment. Hawking seems to come to the conclusion, that she stayed more out of stubborn faith than for love.
All these dilemmas together with stellar performances, made this movie a very gratifying watch, even if i don't agree with paths taken.
