And finally one more biography this week which is easily unbeatably the best watch of the weekend. Extra ordinary story of Stephan Hawking, do not miss!!

 

You may look forward to:

 

• The very personal life of Mr. Stephan Hawking. There is not much of science in it, which covers his life's work. But this a story of incredible human resilience, patience, rarely witnessed love in real life in husband and wife, and the astonishing amount of maturity in the lead couple, epitome of understanding and sacrifice. One story which feels so complete from every angle, ironically the base of which began so imperfectly
• Eddie Redmayne gives out a power packed performance in and as Stephan Hawking. Every small development and deterioration of his condition so meticulously and amazingly captured. This guy is a perfect candidate for an Oscar. Playing a character as complex as this, never comes easy with just a few dialogue deliveries. Eddie Redmayne has nailed it
• Felicity Jones plays the next most incredible role of 'Jane', a very complicated situation to be in, and requiring enormous amount of perseverance, keeping in faith and raising a family with a deteriorating patient all by herself. The tenacity with which she stuck to him, is the reason why Stephan Hawking is what he is today and 'Jane' being the only reason why he is alive. Absolutely beautiful relation and amazingly played by Felicity Jones
• Charlie Cox's character takes you to a film set by 'Rajashree productions', where every body in a film are unbelievably good natured and totally unreal. He is one such character, serving the family of Mr. Hawkings in every possible way, with a clean soul. Many round of applauds for such human being who do exist in reality, far from our belief
• Maxine Peake, has a considerably short role, very much acknowledged, given her significance in Hawking's life
• James Marsh, not known for a lot of commercial hits, does a fantabulous job of creating a masterpiece, of depicting such a complex story impeccably well. He shows you through his direction the true meaning of a marriage, which goes hand in hand with your well being and career, one nothing without the other. Watch it to know what Stephan Hawking is beyond his credibilities and contributions to science

The dampeners you should be aware of:


This is not a story of those biggies who went through various political situations and waded through it to be a successful well known personality. This movie is about all those people holding good intentions but wading through every unfavorable situation thrown at them by life.

No dampener from the directorial point of view. The story is already flawless, barring a few non influencing fictional roles.

My Rating: 4.5/5
