Acting at it's finest! (1 more)

A fantastic look into the life of one of the most remarkable people ever on this earth.

Fantastic.

Yes the movie can feel long when you are not in the right mood to watch it but seriously, get yourself into the mood to watch it (nice, calm afternoon cosy up the blanket with a cup of tea and some biscuits). It will make you laugh, cry, be angry, sad, elated, humbled, inspired and be in awe with the remarkable man that was Stephen Hawking (may he rest peacefully.)
It not only shows his amazing resilience but it also shows the effect on his family, particularly Jane Hawking. She seemed to be such an amazing, strong influential woman that definitely helped more than she knows in Professor Hawking's like and accomplishments.
Please watch this movie atleast once, it just goes to show that anything is possible.

Unless you have been living in a cave you will have heard of Stephen Hawking, this movie is the story of how he met and came to rely on his wife Jane.
It starts in the 1960s, Stephen is an awkward and nerdy college student attending classes, wondering about the universe and meeting the love of his life. Straight away it is evident from little things that his disease is taking a hold on him even before his diagnosis. Eddie Redmayne does such a good job of portraying him that his decline is hard to watch and you feel the frustration he must have felt too. It not only shows Stephens struggles with his motor neurons disease, but also Jane's struggles with helping him, which understandably pushes her into the arms of another man.
The film has its ups and downs, you feel for Stephen and the people around him, but you also laugh as despite his disease his personality remained intact. It is a long movie (just over 2 hours) and very intense, but worth every minute.
