[REVIEW] The Theory of Ever

via:wikipedia

Winner of best actress and best actor for an Oscar this year was Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne. They both play a character that is smart and successful, but because of their illness becomes a pathetic figure. The film is based on the life story of scientist, Stephen Hawking

Synopsis:

Based on the life story of Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) how he faced a motor neuron disease that makes his body slowly paralyzed. He was assisted by his wife Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones) who is faithful and care. The story told about them during their married conflicts are mostly due to Hawking illness.

This film can be compared with Beautiful Mind. Both were based on real character, a genius, a disease that prevents them from working, supportive wife and success achieved. Not to mention the shooting technique in this film. Actually I prefer Beautiful Mind.

Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne were amazing. Both had a very strong chemistry as a couple. Eddie Redmayne was bringing home the Oscar because of this movie. In addition, he had a significant physical changes, he also looks very convincing as people with Motor Neuron. He was able to bring Stephen Hawking figure well into the movie. If an actor cannot play well as a patients with a disease, it can occurs awkwardly moment.

The good side of this movie is, is told in detail struggle despite ending their marriage divorce. It is not owned by Beautiful Mind.
