A brief history of Stephen's life!

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2015)

I went into this film with quite a good knowledge of Hawking's life and works from the book 'a brief history of time' and various documentaries. So I didn't think I'd learn anything new. But I was surprised when I found out about the effect the disease had on Jane and the rest of their family.This was due to the superb acting from Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
Jane (Jones) is a determined woman who wouldn't stop at anything to see Stephen through the difficult times he endures; without Jane Stephen may not be with us today (today being his 73rd birthday) and so we may have been missing out on the expansion of knowledge in the Physics world that he still offers.
I was also surprised that Jane had another love interest during her relationship with Stephen. This was sad to see from all of the support she had given him but I guess she thought it was time.
The only negative things about this inspiring film is the pacing and lack of science. I know it's the story of Stephen and Jane but surely they could of added more. Anyway I did enjoy this uplifting story so I give it a 7.8/10 recommended especially if your a fan of love stories and the brilliant professor!
