The Theory of Everything is a biographical film, directed by James Marsh in 2014. It stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
The film is about the life of the scientist Stephen Hawking. It was adapted by Anthony McCarten from the book Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen by the scientist’s wife, Jane Hawking. The film is set in England in the early 1960s. It tells the story of Hawking’s relationship with his wife, the diagnosis of his motor neuron disease and his success in the field of physics.
The film received positive reviews. People say it is a must-see. I agree, because the story is moving and the acting is excellent. The music is also incredible. Although The Theory of Everything is a little sad at times, its story is very interesting and there is a lot of action. Go and see it if you can.
