An absolutely astonishing movie!

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2015)

2015 is definitely off to a good start with "The theory of everything" and "The imitation game"
If you go to watch "The theory of everything" expecting to see expecting to see a sugarcoated love story you are off to a disappointment. Despite being advertised as one, this film is so much more than a typical romantic movie. It makes you think about the unexpected things in life and the hard decisions we sometimes have to make. This is also not a typical biographic movie. It portraits a side of the personal life of one of the most brilliant people ever lived. The main focus here are not Hawking's scientific achievements, neither are his illness or the love for his wife. The movie centers around the incredible strength of both, Stephen and Jane, and the way they managed to make the most of their life, despite the difficulties. The performance of Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking was incredible; I honestly don't think they could have chosen a better actor for this role. This, in addition to the beautiful cinematography made the film an absolutely pleasant experience, despite it being a little bit slow paced.
I would recommend "The theory of everything" to everyone.
I apologize for any mistakes as English is not my native language.
