Stephen Hawking is one of the most
remarkable public figures of the 20th century. His work, personality, as well
as his perennial fight against the horrible ALS deserved a decent movie script
a long time ago. It finally got it, with „The theory of everything”, but
nothing more than that.
Such a fascinating life story is
compressed inside the two hours of numerous common places, with little
exclusive and almost no controversial facts.
Luckily, male lead role is there to put it
right, to some extent at least.
Young Eddie Redmayne literally twisted
himself inside out for this one, reminiscing Daniel Day-Lewis’s Christy Brown
in „My left foot”. Unfortunately, his effort isn’t matched by the supporting
cast, raising serious questions about some of the five „Academy” nominations
„Theory of everything” raised in this year’s race for the „golden boy”.
In the end, Eddie will be a major
contender for the male lead title at the „Kodak” theatre, alongside phenomenal
Keaton, but the rest of the flick falls behind significantly. And that’s a real
shame.
THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING – 6/10
