The Theory of Everything

The following is a brief review of singularity in cinema, the life of Stephen Hawking from his college days to the publication of his theory on the universe.  The movie begins in 1963, we get an insight into the everyday life of a young genius, he’s fun, he’s flirty, he’s a messer just like most young college kids. His charm and intellect captures the heart of the poetically sensitive Jane Wilde and love begins to bloom, but the tide soon turns on Hawking as he’s diagnosed with motor neuron disease and given two years to live. Hawking comes to terms with his mortality over a game of croquet with the very lovable Jane, I have to say I don’t really understand croquet very well so I think I missed out on some of Hawking’s game but he ends up with the girl in his bedroom so he obviously plays it just right. I think the rest of the movie plays out a little like ‘Love & Other Drugs’ but it replaces risqué romance with risqué mathematics. All in all the film is a slow moving drama, it’s concerned with the decline of the human body when afflicted with Motor Neuron, it’s about changing views in science, the depth of the cosmos and the more complicated intricacies of love. 

There’s a brief Michael Jackson moment where Hawking is left holding his baby and you’re not sure what’s going to happen, but other than that the film doesn’t really deliver on suspense. The movie doesn’t challenge the various relationships that develop within the household and fails to really deliver on the science kicks, it’s too appeasing to be entertaining and you’ll get more insight on the life of Hawking from Wikipedia. The movie is well acted and pays huge respect to a man who’s dedicated his life to scientific development, but if your inclined to see the film I’d recommend waiting for the DVD or for free-view tv to pick it up because it’s not going to have you on the edge of your seat, it’s not going to change your life and it’s just not worth venturing to the cinema to see.
