This movie is about the early years of Hawking in Cambridge, where he pursued his doctoral degree in physics and found the big bang theory. He was diagnosed with motor neuron disease right after his 21st birthday. It was an unexpected misfortune for Hawking, an ambitious and promising young researcher, who regarded physics as everything, but fortunately, his brain was left untouched.
One who has an incurable disease is probably desperate and stops making effort, but Hawking is quite the opposite. Due to his hunger for knowledge, he kept fighting his disease, kept exploring his research and never gave up. As his first wife Jane said in the movie, he has huge courage, brilliant mind and capacity to imagine fates like a piece of nothing. People are very small especially facing challenges of illness and death，but as Hawking said, we are profoundly capable of very big things. Hawking is not small even compared to the whole universe. I was so impressed by his eagerly searching for knowledge. His supervisor said he's made Einstein beautiful. I agree. He has a beautiful mind.
When a friend told me the leading role is played by Benedict Cumberbatch yesterday, I said he is nothing like Hawking. Yet, I am totally attracted and convinced by his excellent performance after watching this movie. Benedict, a healthy person portraying a person with motor neuron disease showed a vivid and accurate character.
I'm also impressed by the love from his parents and Jane. Even though the doctor said there was no hope, his parents still encouraged Hawking to carry on. Besides, Jane, who became his wife finally, was always there, supporting and accompanying him. Family is such a wonderful treasure.
It's a great movie and I was definitely touched and inspired.
