La teoría del todo

De las tres historias de vida actualmente galardonadas La teoría del todo / The Imitation Game (Descifrando Enigma) / El francotirador es la de Hawking la más inspiradora y encantadora, pero también la más dulce. No es una película para los admiradores de Hawkins, sino para las mujeres que buscan las tragedias de vida, historias humanas complicadas, devoción y lealtad de pareja a largo plazo, etc. para poder llorar viéndolos. La profundidad del espacio se muestra mejor aquí en un gran conjunto mediante una toma de un espectáculo de fuegos artificiales en un jardín, en cuyo primer plano una pareja de enamorados tomados de la mano... Aunque la película en ningún momento se convierte en un kitsch, tampoco alcanza el impulso poético y el realismo de relaciones de El diario de Noa. Es más bien una plantilla bellamente rodada y actuada de un libro de texto con una historia que parece ser idealista sobre personas buenas o excepcionales. (17.02.2015)

Este film no se puede llamar de otra manera que bonito, ya que aquí falta algún conflicto más importante, lo cual corresponde al hecho de que fue filmado según el libro de memorias de Jane Hawking, que daba la impresión de ser una mujer suave y amable. Eddie Redmayne ofrece una actuación realmente digna de un Oscar, el premio es completamente merecido para él. La historia no aburre, avanza bastante rápido, sin embargo, no pude evitar tener la impresión de que es otra variante y combinación de Belleza en el mundo, El código enigma, Mi pie izquierdo y películas similares. Pero en competencia con El francotirador americano o La caza de zorros, La teoría del todo actúa como un bálsamo para el alma. (16.03.2015)

It's like when the screenwriter only lets me have a glimpse of someone's biography, but just when I've started reading, they skip several pages. The instant romantic storyline doesn't catch my heart at all, and certainly not the snippets of scientific debates. All credit to Eddie Redmayne, in whom I didn't even see that handsome poster boy from Les Misérables for a second, but with this kind of storytelling austerity, neither he, nor Jóhann Jóhannsson's appropriately sensitive soundtrack, have a chance to take The Theory of Everything anywhere higher.

This film about Stephen Hawking was a slight disappointment for me. I was expecting an epic story from the life of a man who achieved the impossible, and in the end I got a romantic story that sometimes seemed to be more about Jane than about Stephen. The film is about a relationship that managed to survive anything. In my opinion, this relationship was rational in many ways and was based on absolute devotion. Stephen was very lucky to have people like this in his life. And the filmmakers were also lucky when they cast the beautiful Felicity Jones as Jane and the perfect Eddie Redmayne as Stephen. The movie was flawless in this respect, and the same goes for the music where Jóhann Jóhannsson did some real magic with his piano. The most fundamental problem lies in the story that is more of a romance than a biographical story, and which often seems like it doesn’t know what exactly it wants to tell. That doesn’t change the fact that Stephen had an incredible life and it was a pleasure to watch it in this movie. Hats off. Even though it must be said that this movie is far from perfect, I’m still giving it four stars for everything else that is worthy of attention and managed to squeeze the maximum out of this film.

A beautiful film with beautiful aesthetics about "beautiful" and noble people and their actions, which allows us to glimpse into the life of a brilliant scientist and theorist through a single perspective. It is utterly one-sided – even Forrest Gump had more layers. It is not bad, just painfully classical, yet still moving and pulsating with life. However, it will never become a classic or a message to generations. (04.03.2015)
