The Theory of Everything
This movie is one of my favorite romantic movie as it shows how
loves never fades even if you’re turning old or weak or even if
you now you just have sometime to live, your true love will never
lose hope.
"There should be no boundary between human endeavour,"
Stephen Hawking explains during a press conference. It is this line
that strikes a chord at the very centre of James Marsh's incredible
biopic on one of the most brilliant scientists of our time. The
Theory of Everything is not just a story about the science behind
the beginnings of our universe, but the science of love; and how
life's challenges that we face everyday, shape who we are and
what we achieve. Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones turn in
phenomenal performances as the revolutionary Stephen Hawking
and his former wife Jane Wilde. Eddie's mentally and physically
challenging role, displaying Hawkings brilliance and motor neuron
disease, are extremely commendable and impressive (a sure fire
for a Best Actor nomination at next year's Oscars).

3. On the more sensitive side, Felecity displays the endless love and powerful
fight Jane brought to the Hawking household. As the years pass, their lives
are changed tremendously in very profound and heart-wrenching ways.
The movie does not shy away from making Hawking a complex character,
as well as Jane, showing both their positive and negative sides. I really
liked that the movie was able to shape them into fully well-rounded
characters despite the "romance" aspect of it. The score for the film is
tremendous.. absolutely outstanding! It hits all the right marks, brings
upon emotions right when you are on the verge of tears, leaves you in awe
after a beautiful monologue, and finishes with a melancholy but very
fitting tone. The script and directing were top-notch.. right up there with
the best... and the cinematography? give that guy an award already! A
masterpiece to watch. While some critics may be quick to judge how the
film focuses more on the romance rather than the science that made
Hawking so renowned, I believe that the love is what made him who he is
today. Human endeavour is endless... Stephen never gave up hope, nor did
Jane... and though their lives ended up in different places, it was their
years together that displayed to us how a little bit of hope can go a very,
very long way.

6. Filming:
Part of the filming in Cambridge took place at St John's College
By 8 October 2013, principal photography had begun, with the
shooting being based in Cambridge and at other locations in the
United Kingdom. Prior to the start of principal
photography, Working Title had begun shooting on the lawn in front
of the New Court building from 23 September 2013 to 27
September 2013; they filmed the Cambridge May Ball scene, set in
1963. On 24 September 2013, scenes were filmed at St John’s
College, The Backs in Queen’s Road and Queen’s Green. The New
Court lawn and Kitchen Bridge were included features in the
filming location of the piece. The May Ball scene was the last of
the outside shoots, with filming in a lecture theatre the following
day and the remaining filming completed in the studio over the
final five weeks of production.
The pyrotechnic specialists Titanium Fireworks, who developed the
displays for the London 2012 Olympic Games, provided three
identical firework displays for the May Ball scene.

7. Music:
Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson scored The Theory of Everything. His
score in the film has been described as including "[Jóhannsson's]
signature blend of acoustic instruments and electronics." Jóhannsson
commented that "it always involves the layers of live recordings,
whether it's orchestra or a band or solo instrument, with electronics
and more soundscape-y elements which can come from various
sources. The soundtrack was recorded at Abbey Road.
Post-production:
During editing, filmmakers tried to remake Hawking's synthesized
voice, but it did not turn out as they wanted. Hawking enjoyed the
film enough that he granted them permission to use his own
synthesized voice, which is heard in the final film.

8. Narratives
The narrative of a Romantic film would normally be a love story or
love triangles, it would also include romantic scenes such as
beaches and cities. They also include holidays with each other such
as honeymoons or engagement and marriage. In each romantic
film there is normally a protective father or an evil mother
sometimes even both. The main ideas of a Romantic film would be
falling in love, some kind of arguments, dates, gifts and soft music.
The two most famous romantic films are Titanic and Romeo and
Juliet, they are both very traditional romantic films. This is
because they both include the protective father of the girl, falling
in love, arguments and family rivals. Iconography is used within
films such as romantic films this is to tell the audience from the
fist scene that it is a romantic movie, the key things you see would
be the man and women meeting or seeing each other somewhere.
Also you would see them on a date or being reunited.

9. Target Audience
Romantic films tend to be watched more by girls/ women
as they find the idea of the narrative romantic, also the
audience are drawn to the film because of the actors
staring in the film. People sometimes watch a film
because they have seen other films with the actors
staring in them which draws them to other films they are
in. It would particularly be the young teenagers and
women in general.
