The Theory of Everything

MPAA Rating: PG-13 for some thematic elements and suggestive material.
Run Time: 123 Minutes
My Rating: 4/5
So today we went and saw Working Title Films' The Theory of Everything starring Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserable), Felicity Jones (The Amazing Spiderman 2), and David Thewlis (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban).  The film centers around the true life story of Stephen Hawking, the famous physicist and his wife Jane.  It details how they met, his accident, and how their lives greatly changed as his conditioned worsened.  It also shows how they persevered through the trials that beset them,
This film has been out for a few weeks now and has finally started to get a wide release schedule.  This film is actually really well done and has many positive things going for it.  Probably the best thing that it has going for it is is its star Eddie Redmayne as the physicist Stephen Hawking.  He has received a lot of Oscar buzz for his performance and let me tell you he is magnificent.  It is absolutely amazing to see how he has transformed himself into the character.  He looks so much like the person he is trying to represent and his acting is impeccable.  It is truly a site to see.  His performance is only magnified by the supporting cast especially Felicity Jones who plays his wife Jane.  Her performance is really powerful and the chemistry between her and Eddie truly heightens the movie-going experience.
There really isn't anything horrible to say about this film.  I mean it is an accurate interpretation of Stephen Hawking's life and the cast is amazing.  The real reason I didn't give the film a 5 is because I walked out of the film with a negative feeling.  It has nothing to do with the movie, but there was just one part in the film that I just didn't really like.  The sad part is that the filmmakers couldn't take it out because it is a true story.  There are some things in life that just are sad and annoying, however I applaud the filmmakers for keeping true to the story.
Overall, the film was great.  I would probably watch the film again.  This film definitely isn't for everyone, but I definitely would recommend this for people who are interested in true life and inspiring stories.  There is a reason why this film is getting a lot of Oscar buzz and I think that you should go see for yourself why.
Thanks again for reading and if you have any questions or comments just let me know!!!!
