Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge. A very Cambridge story now showing in Cambridge. Stephen Hawking biopic, The Theory of Everything, is at the Arts Picturehouse in St Andrew's Street. Away from my desk so an iPhone offering today. A bit early in the year, but I may be tempted to do the black and white challenge! It's just that I've recently done this on Instagram (camdiary).
Catch up tomorrow:-)
PS 8 Jan: 1/5 Black and White Challenge!
Having just watched The Theory of Everything, I must say it is a fantastic film.
And I think Eddie Redmayne deserves the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking. After Hawking introduces the movie, Redmayne makes a few comments about Hawking's zero-g flight with Peter Diamandis. And after the movie, he takes questions from the audience.
Last night saw a new poster arrive for Focus Features’ THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING, and now we bring you the latest trailer. The film, directed by MAN ON WIRE’s James Marsh, is a biopic of renowned scientist and author Stephen Hawking and best-selling memoir Travelling to Infinity, written b...
CSI: The Theory of Everything (S8 E15) - In order to see what caused the flames that killed a man, the team sets up various test using ballistics dummies. During an experiment to determine the cause of the man burning to death, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman from the T.V. show Mythbusters appear in the background, observing the experiment and taking notes. When a ballistics dummy is successfully lit on fire, the duo give an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

The Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role belongs to Eddie Redmayne and him alone. I just got back from the theater, as I am writing this review right now. And there is no doubt in my mind that Eddie Redmayne deserved that Golden Globe win for this role, and he deserves the Oscar as well.
(This was written before the Oscars aired)
The Theory of Everything is the story of the most brilliant and celebrated physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Wilde the arts student he fell in love with whilst studying at Cambridge in the 1960s. Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of age. He became galvanized, however, by the love of fellow Cambridge student, Jane Wilde, and he went on to be called the successor to Einstein, as well as a husband and father to their three children. Over the course of their marriage as Stephen's body collapsed and his academic renown soared, fault lines were exposed that tested the lineaments of their relationship and dramatically altered the course of both of their lives.
Wow. What a beautiful, phenomenal film. The relationship of Stephen and Jane is absolutely the foundation of this movie, as it begins with the two of them first meeting. Eddie Redmayne's physical performance immediately becomes apparent, and is almost hypnotizing to watch. At this point in Hawking's life, I assume in his early twenties at Cambridge, he is just showing tiny symptoms of what would become full blown ALS - Lou Gehrug's Disease. His posture is just slightly off-tilt, amongst a room full of his peers, they all have normal posture, and you see Hawking slouching, or tipping his body at a weird angle. And the way that he had to speak, the older Hawking's got, the worse the disease got, the less he was able to use his muscles - the less he was able to speak. Redmayne had to then restrict muscles in his mouth when he spoke in order to be accurate to the physical deterioration - and it's just astonishing work to watch. Incredibly intricate and detailed and disciplined, it is a brilliant performance by Eddie Redmayne. He truly, truly, looks just like Stephen Hawking and completely captures his cadence and body language, it's amazing to witness in a theater.
One of the other qualities of this movie I noticed right off the bat was the gorgeous cinematography, done by French cinematographer Benoît Delhomme. He is able to just illuminate the screen with such warmth and care, it feels so delicate and angelic almost. Accompanied with the beautiful score, employing the strong use of violins and strings, it all comes together to make a glorious piece of art. Felicity Jones gives an amazing performance - and in a lot of ways, is the foundation that holds this whole film and story together - and I will say I believe she absolutely deserves her Oscar nomination. The way that she is able to take care of Stephen once he becomes diagnosed and love him unconditionally, and sadly, eventually grow emotionally exhausted with the reality that her husband and their three children are not a normal family. At one point in the film, Stephen and Jane bring in the assistance of a man - Jonathan - to be somewhat of a caretaker to Hawking, and they all actually become one tight-knit family and it's genuinely touching to see.
I would say the only negative I do have, is that it did not spend enough time - at least for me - on the science. What Hawking's accomplished in his studies was just unparalleled and completely brilliant, yet I wanted so much more discussion of it and what it all meant. Jane is a Christian and Hawking is an atheist, and one aspect of the story that is really interesting is how the two try and reconcile their differences on their worldview. They don't fight about it, but it is often brought up, and I guess without giving anything away, what they both come to realize about the universe is pretty stellar. The movie ends up being incredibly profound and inspiring towards the end. Truly, truly magnificent.
An absolute must-see.
