#TheTheoryOfEverything(English) Rating: * * * *  As biopic’s this one is based on the Stephen Hawking’s initial breakthrough years of discovery while battling illness and trying to keep his love and family afloat. The point of view is that of his first wife whose memoirs are the basis for the script. The astonishing part is #EddieRedmayne’s stunning performance that gets the details of the horrible progress of illness astonishingly right. #FelicityJones as Jane, his first wife, makes a brilliant counterpoint in this highly evocative drama #MoesArt #SarjitaJain

#TheImitationGame(English) Rating:* * * * this biopic of eccentric British master code breaker Alan Turing is multi-layered and deeper than first imagined. It’s both thought-provoking and entertaining with moments of thrills, triumph, and sadness. Turing was credited with the feat much later in life. So One wrong gets righted while his rights get wronged(Chemically castrated for his homosexuality) #BenedictCumberbatch makes Turing come alive in all his complexities. It’s a potentially award winning 
turn.#PVRPictures #PriyankaVaswani #HardlyAnonymousPR


#AmericanSniper(English) Rating: * * * It’s a wonder that #ClintEastwood directed this propaganda film based on a true story about #ChrisKyle the most celebrated sniper in American history. Interesting,a little ponderous and very much blindingly patriotically American in it’s outlook. Not as exacting or involving as ‘The Hurt locker’ or ‘Enemy At The Gates’. #BradleyCooper gets buffed-up and does a decent enough take on Kyle. #ClintEastwood #BradleyCooper #WarnerBros #AnkitAgarwal

·         #Paddington(English/LiveActionAnimation) Rating: * * *  Children's favorite Paddington Bear gets the big-screen treatment in this fun family film adapted from Michael Bond's book series. Irresistibly charming  #WarnerBros #HughBonneville #SallyHawkins #NicoleKidman #PaulKing

Cast: Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones, David Thewlis, Emily Watson, Charlie Cox
Director: James Marsh


Rating: * * * *


Rntime: 123 mins



Synopsis:

James Marsh’s biopic of the celebrated scientist Stephen Hawking, is based on his first wife’s recant of their life together and the scientific highs and physical ailments( the debilitating,incapacitating ALS) he experienced during that time. Eddie redmayne stars as the epoch making Stephen Hawking while Felicity Jones assays the role of the loving and caring wife who eventually finds herself out-of-the-loop when a professional carer comes into the picture.

Review:
Enrolled as a graduate student at Cambridge, Hawking simultaneously establishes himself as one of the leading scientific minds of his generation while winning the heart of Jane. but after his earliest breakthrough in science Hawking is diagnosed with ALS and finds himself out of sync with his body which appears to be degenerating to a debilitating degree. Jane stays by his side, ever loyal and loving. They have three children before Jane finds that being a nurse and mother is just too much for one person and decides to seek the help of nurse.But once the nurse comes into the picture, and Hawking experiences his first world-wide success with his book, Jane finds herself being gently pushed away. And she goes willingly into the arms of a good friend who later on dons the role of  her second husband.

Hawking’s disease helped him stay focused on his work and his marriage to jane appears to be one of mutual love, respect and admiration right to the very end.  They do seem a little too comfortable which they possibly couldn’t have been given the contrasting state of their respective physiques. it does appear that the script tries to present a respectable version for public consumption but that’s not really a minus point here. The narrative is powered not so much by the sheer majesty of a valiant life but by the beautiful integrity of performances that give you a peep into the real world of this differently abled genius. Both Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones are the highpoints of this film. It’s their immersive performances that do the trick and make this film an experience worth treasuring!
