A wonderful biographical drama

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2016)

Where do I begin? The big bang? (Just kidding). It's an inspirational film throughout. It's about a brilliant gentleman despite suffering from motor neuron disease, trying to lead a normal life through sheer determination towards his work, with a great sense of humour and a wonderful caring wife.
The film is more about Dr. Hawking's personal life and love story than his professional achievements. Most of you would have heard about him, his disease and his achievements but unless you have read much about his personal life, I doubt that you would know all that he and his wife went through trying to lead a life.
Eddie Redmayne rightfully deserved the Oscar he won for his performance as Dr. Hawking. You feel for the character all the time. There are quite a few moments in the film which may make you cry or at least give you goosebumps. Felicity Jones has done a wonderful job too. With each passing moment you get closer to the characters. You understand why they do what they do. The rest of the cast is also good.
Never once throughout the film you will feel bored or that the story is being dragged on. It's not a thriller but it definitely manages to keep you hooked. It inspires you, makes you realize that you are capable of doing much more than what you have done and yet you have done so little (no offense to anyone). I personally felt honoured to get to know this great person through this great film.
