The Theory of Everything



Saw the biopic of Cosmologist Stephen Hawking at the Tower Theater. As part of teaching my Astronomy class I quickly read "A Brief History Of Time - From the Big Bang to Black Holes", and was pleasing to hear the ideas in that book being clearly and concisely repeated in the film.

A very English movie, focusing on the crucible of English science, Cambridge University. Eddie Redmayne is a good actor, but I was most-impressed with Felicity Jones' portrayal of Jane Hawking. She's the true center of this movie, dealing with the various stresses imposed by Stephen Hawking's ALS. So brave! So young! And Felicity Jones is so pretty!
