Mum's Monday: The Theory of Everything

This film is based on the life of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne). It seems nine answered questions are impressive. It is interesting to see an insight into the development of a brilliant mind. I was intrigued by this film and now i am so glad i am watching it.

I believe that what Jane (Felicity Jones) heard and saw was more interesting than dancing. Until the time and place was right that is.  You could see it meant more.

Although inevitably there is a lot of science in this film, this is to be expected and this film makes it interesting, entertaining and sometimes amusing.

Sadly, we know Stephen developed and had Motor Neurone disease. It is well done how it shows the gradual hold on Stephen it takes. It is sad to think that the brain will still function and be as sharp as ever but the body is affected by the disease. Happily we know that although this film has to mention the diagnosis and outcome with ‘Two years to live’ and this would have been a waste of a brilliant mind to the scientific world. We now know this not to be the case and Stephen went on to live a long eventful scientific life.

I don’t think that a game of ‘Croquet’ has meant so much.  This is sad to watch, but luckily we know what the future does hold. 

I can see why they had to include all the negativity, as in some cases people are not so lucky.

The actor Eddie Redmayne who plays Doctor Stephen Hawking is brilliant, you almost forget that he hasn’t got the disease but is playing someone who has. The portrayal is amazingly captured.

Always the scientist even being stuck inside a jumper over his head there is science to be seen though it in the fireplace. 

It is lovely to see Stephen and his friends having fun celebrating his success. 

A lot is now happening to Stephen, his book has been published and he gets an electric wheelchair.

It is sad to see the effect it is all having on Jane the realisation is an eye opener. Some people do tend to forget the, the only way I can describe it as is, the carer.

It is lovely and heart-warming to see the family at the beach and all their other activities with their new found friend. 

It is also amazing Stephen’s ever growing family, although it is nice to see Stephen’s sense of humour, his family does need a live in carer.

Things have now taken a dark turn in more ways than one. These parts are not nice to watch. I am however, happy Jane has said ‘Goodbye’ to whom she did at the time.

In this film you can see the origins of the electronic board where Stephen can talk cam from. Now this film has turned fun and light-hearted, Stephen is a great ‘American singer’ and his loose audition for the television Sci-Fi program Doctor Who is so funny to watch.

All i am going to say is ‘The magazine is for a friend’ this is also fun to watch. 

Things have now changed and I love how the ending is just the beginning again, and you should see past the disease and see the mind.
