We don’t really know what that theory might be, if there is indeed one that would explain everything in the universe, nay, the universe itself, but what we do know is the attempt of one man who is determined to seek it in the realm of theoretical physics and mathematics.
If the relentless pursuit of the nature of the universe is a fascinating one, equally interesting is Stephen Hawking’s love for Jane, his wife, and his children. But there are degrees of love and seasons of love, and it sometimes takes an entire lifetime to realize how love for another in one’s later life does not diminish one’s first love.
This is a tale of mature, intentional, deliberate love. It is not a juvenile love. It is a story of two adults – one of whom is physically debilitated to the point of being unable to even speak – deal with each other with extreme love, affection, wit, charm and respect for each other. I don’t know why this would be so rare a thing, but all things considered, it truly is, and in a movie is wonderful to see.
Great performances by Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. I remember Redmayne from the Pillars of the Earth, a TV series, that I viewed only recently.
