I got to say I was really impressed with that movie and was filled with admiration towards Stephen Hawking and it has nothing to do with him being a brilliant physicist. But for being a strong willed human being. A Man who by all means was dealt a bad hand but he never took it as an excuse to not do what he believed in.
I was amazed by Redmayne's performance and how his eyes never stopped shinning even when he lost control over all his motor skills he looked more alive than most of us.
Never for once stopped living life to the fullest.
Another thing that really got to me was the relationship between him and his wife. The intimacy, the communication even when it was about being with someone else, they never stopped talking to one another. An example that we should all follow in our relationships.

Watching that movie made my realise who petty my problems are and how no matter how bad they are, the most important thing about them is that they are temporary.. Some people are not so lucky!
