Ever since I was a kid, I always associate Stephen Hawking as a paralytic intellectual who's always in a wheelchair with a robotic voice, then after watching The Theory of Everything, which is basically his love story with Jane Wilde Hawking whose book "Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen" was the basis for the film, the childhood impression still stays but it added something else: that he has a heart and an inspiration for people for all ages in the best love story I'd seen in 2014.
Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables, My Week with Marilyn) was born to play Stephen Hawking with a performance that complimented his physical built to his character's eventual physical deterioration due to motor-neuron disease. Add to that with both natural charm and a sharp sense of humor, Redmayne's acting won't be forgotten once awards season starts in a few weeks from now, alongside Felicity Jones (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)'s quiet yet domineering performance as Jane the wife. Part My Left Foot part A Beautiful Mind, The Theory of Everything is one of 2014's best films.
