I thought it was a biographical movie with love elements, but it was actually a love movie with a biographical shell. The young Hawking and Jane fell in love, but Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and was told that he had only two years of life. , Jane still marries Hawking unwillingly, hoping to grow old with him. The story here has changed from a romance drama to a marriage drama. The problems of ordinary marriages exist in Hawking's life. We may be curious about Hawking's sexual ability and how her wife can tolerate a lover who can only move his fingers. Questions, these questions are explained in the story, and presented in a decent way. The good thing is that these ordinary stories will not make you feel like "great men are no more than ordinary people" in previous biopics. On the contrary, what the audience feels is the extraordinary personality of Hawking and his wife, which makes this emotional part from the marriage part. Rise to a deeper level.
When Hawking and Jane met, the difference between the two people's worlds was reflected. Jane's friends ridiculed science students at the party, indicating that Jane's circle rarely came into contact with people like Hawking. For this reason, the two were regarded as different mysteries. Sense is attracted to each other. Hawking is a physicist, in his own words, a "wise atheist". Jane believes in the Church of England and her specialty is medieval poetry on the Ilya Peninsula. Jane went to Hawking's house as a guest. Hawking's father asked Jane what painter she liked. Jane replied to Turner, and Hawking's father said that his portrait had been drenched in fish. All the plots show that Hawking and even his family are rational people, and Jane is an emotional person. Hawking never dances. Jane desires to dance, but pretends not to love dancing for Hawking. Fortunately, Hawking stepped forward for this girl. One step, until Hawking was diagnosed with a disease and even sentenced to death, Jane was also willing to be with Hawking. The theory of everything in this scene refers to the attraction of opposite sexes in love. It allows two completely different people to come together and make huge promises. But in many cases, differences are the glue when they fall in love. China will become a hidden danger again.
Entering married life, Hawking's academic work has won praise from the world, but his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he even lost the ability to walk and pick up a spoon to eat. Hawking suffers from the anxiety of not being able to embrace her lover, and the double pain that even this anxiety cannot even be expressed. Jane's entire life is taken up by taking care of Hawking. She has lost her life, and their children are more and more. This shows that on the one hand There is no problem with Hawking's sexual ability. On the other hand, it also shows that they want to fill the vacancy in their emotional life through their children.
Facing the handsome teacher in the choir, Jane helped Hawking, unable to express himself, to explain the metaphor of peas and potatoes. In physics, there are two sets of laws that explain the universe, the general theory of relativity that controls the macrocosm and the quantum theory of the microcosmic particle world. , One potato and one pea, the strange thing is that the two sets of theories do not follow the same principle. As Jane said, it would be much simpler if the world were all potatoes. This analogy is also the core of the whole film. Hawking has spent his life reconciling the contradiction between general relativity and quantum mechanics, and found a big theory that can explain the entire universe. The so-called macro potato, Jane has also been trying to find the difference between him and Hawking in marriage. The balance of life, that is, the micro-pea, the two sets of beliefs of Hawking and Jane coexist and confront each other. When Hawking proved that the universe has no boundaries, Jane was not happy at all, because every revelation by Hawking meant a god away from Jane. Belief went farther and farther, and while stripping away the mystery of the universe, he also exhausted the little mystery left by the two people getting along day and night.
Hawking told us in "A Brief History of Time" that the universe erupted from a singularity of infinite density and mass, and infinitely small volume. Time and space were born. Under the action of universal gravitation, they condense into stars, and the energy of the stellar core resists. Gravity maintains the life of the star. Until one day when the star's energy is exhausted and the gravitational force cannot be resisted, the star will collapse inward, become a singularity and become a black hole until it disappears. If the volume of the star is very large, it will explode into a super planet. The dust of super planets became the material for creating planets. However, in a microscopic sense, isn't our life the same, from scratch, combined under the gravity of love, Jane, this amazing woman has always used her forbearing energy to resist the gravity of life, but one day, love It will run out, love will dissipate, and one day, life will also disappear. "Who are we? Why are we here? If we understand this, this will be the ultimate victory of human reason. Then we will know the true thoughts of God." Hawking's question made Jane very pleased. He thought Hawking Finally approached God, unfortunately this is just a metaphor out of respect.
Hawking's life is full of drama and the least dramatic. Such a person who maintains a posture for most of his life and has the universe in his mind all the time. The movie is the least likely to show the ups and downs of his life and the complexity of his heart, so there are people To say that the characters in this film are flat, this is the most irresponsible comment I have ever heard. This is a movie driven by emotions, and the two protagonists have hidden strong character under the tepid narrative. On the one hand, Hawking's portrayal is supported by the profile of Jane's role. When Hawking was desperate, it was Jane who helped him regain his confidence. It relied on Jane's decisive decision at the time of crisis in the hospital bed; on the other hand, it was Eddie who played Hawking. Redmayne, once made you forget the existence of actors. I believe this is Hawking himself. The convulsive face that I tried to express is empathetic. Eddie is from a person who is not allowed to have "drama" all over his body. Shows a lot of emotions calmly, completely resisting the performance of "gravity collapse", and will surely win the Oscar actor.
Hawking is like Prometheus who stole the fire. God punished him because he was afraid that he would get the truth, but this did not limit Hawking, because time and space in Hawking's world are not continuous. Just like the ending credit, Hawking and Jane return To the original beauty. In reality, Hawking and Jane are still friends, and Jane even served as the screenwriter of the film. Their love has become a cross-dimensional emotion. All things go round and round. The demise of stars gives birth to new stars and planets. Hawking and Jane looked at the grown-up children. He sighed and looked at all this we have created.
The film dissolves the concept of the theory of everything in the ordinary subtleties and disillusions of life. The grand and trivial themes mirror each other. Hawking and Jane find a way to get along with their life theories, and Hawking continues to look for that in the theory of the universe. Article "Middle Way."
