Karen and I saw The Theory of Everything, the biopic of Stephen Hawking based on his wifes memoir, over the weekend. Its good! The physics was a little dodgy, but thats not the point of the film. Eddie Redmayne was very impressive capturing both the impish spirit and physical debilitation of the man. The Hawking we all know is so iconic that its startling to see him as a young man bicycling recklessly through campus. The film defied some of my expectations in that I kept waiting for it to create a villain to amp up the drama, and it never did. Just people muddling through like people do, only one of them is a physics genius. I dont know if the movie itself merits an Oscar nomination but Redmayne certainly does.
