“The Theory of Everything” is an intimate portrayal of Stephen Hawking’s life beyond his professional contributions to theoretical physics. The film depicts his relationship with his wife of the time, Jane, and how it helped him cope with his debilitating ALS. The actor, Redmayne, spent 4 months studying Hawkins’ life to prepare for the role and interiorize Hawking’s speech and movement and created a chart of how the disease advances, which he used as a guide throughout the filming process. Despite the actor’s superb ability in his interpretation, there was some debate on the need to assign the role to an able-bodied actor to play a character with a disability: this tendency to assign disability role to not disabled people might create “allergies” in patients and carers as well (Zacharin 2014).
