The Theory of
Everything is a perplexing film. A
biopic about Stephen Hawking would usually be fairly straightforward: his rise
in the field of theoretical physics, overcoming the deterioration of his
health. Yet, its source material, the memoirs of Hawking’s ex-wife Jane Wilde,
transforms this biographical film into a rather strange beast. The scientific
discoveries Hawking makes almost serve as background information, placing much
more focus on the relationship between Hawking and Wilde, played by Eddie
Redmayne and Felicity Jones respectively. On the other hand, the psychology
behind their relationship doesn’t seem fully explored; we never really discover
what makes them tick and make certain decisions.
