From the organizer: The Theory of Everything. 2014 Film.
“It was surprisingly honest about our marriage [….] At times, I thought he was me;” these are some of the comments that Stephen Hawking made about The Theory of Everything and Eddie Redmayne’s performance. Not surprisingly, Redmayne took home a Golden Globe last night for his performance. The bio-pic by James Marsh is based on the book by Hawking’s ex-wife and follows the life of the world-renowned astrophysicist from his years at Cambridge University, through his diagnosis of ALS, his scientific discoveries and his divorce. Although mentions of Hawking’s ground-breaking laws of black holes and relativity are present in the story, this is a film about love, marriage in extraordinary circumstances and compromise. It is always hard to portray a real person, even more so if the person in question sits among the greatest minds of humanity and he is still alive, but Redmayne’s performance as Hawking is pitch perfect. The British actor captures both the ongoing physical transformation of his character and his emotional journey. The Theory of Everything has received multiple nominations including four Golden Globes for Best Picture - Drama, Best Leading Actress - Drama and Best Original Score, and 10 BAFTAs' nominations.
