Thank you

Having read a sampling of the reviews for this movie, it appears that there are viewers out there who thought it was going to be a physics lesson and are sorely disappointed. For those viewers, might I suggest reading A Brief History of Time. A marvelous book written by a man with a titanic intellect. Most of the rest of us were mesmerized by a great cast presenting not one but two love stories. Eddie Redmayne, in particular, gave a subtle, nuanced performance of a man who defied tremendous odds and daunting physical ailments to let his mind soar where few can go. Felicity Jones gave a great counterpoint portrait of the woman who stood by him and helped him climb that mountain. My hat is off to all of the cast and crew for making me proud to be human, for at least a few brief moments.
