Redmayne may have had the more challenging role but Keaton's performance was on another level in terms of the sense of suffering of what actors had to go through.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-23376430403208939722015-09-08T19:18:18.188-07:002015-09-08T19:18:18.188-07:00Great post!

The cinematography alone completely won me over on this film, and I completely agree with the Academy awarding Redmayne over Keaton...it was a much more challenging role.

Michael Keaton should've won.<br /><br />@Ruth-I was more into Jones' performance in the film as I liked it for how restrained it is. I also enjoyed Cox as he was just fun to watch and knew what to do in scenes where he doesn't say anything.<br /><br />@Brittani-It maybe an Oscar-bait film but it has things that do make it more interesting than the typical Oscar-bait films.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-18014474443993075822015-09-08T10:05:35.601-07:002015-09-08T10:05:35.601-07:00Great review!

Redmayne was excellent indeed, though I still rooted for Keaton after seeing this, I think his role in Birdman is more unique and he had to create that from scratch. I do think Jones is phenomenal here and you could even say she is as integral to the film as Redmayne is. And Charlie Cox is just adorable, he fits the role so well that it was so surprising how good he is as Daredevil! :DRuthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-5401709302729160092015-09-08T02:27:16.129-07:002015-09-08T02:27:16.129-07:00Redmayne was amazing, for me he was the best thing...Redmayne was amazing, for me he was the best thing about it and deserved the oscar win. Even if the film glosses over Hawking's theories, it could be a starting point for those who are curious to look up his achievements elsewhere.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-21669375783787557442015-09-07T13:35:08.121-07:002015-09-07T13:35:08.121-07:00@Big Screen Small Words-It maybe a by-the-numbers ...@Big Screen Small Words-It maybe a by-the-numbers bio-pic but it does at least offer something of substance plus I was engaged by that relationship which worked for me.<br /><br />@Wendell-I probably liked it more than you did. While I do think Redmayne was excellent, I don't think he deserved that Oscar. As for Jones, I thought she was the better of the two as she had a less showier role and really showed how great she is. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-31576724360500039662015-09-07T06:40:47.161-07:002015-09-07T06:40:47.161-07:00You've read my review.

Redmayne and Jones were both excellent, though.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-60171421110279900932015-09-07T01:23:21.920-07:002015-09-07T01:23:21.920-07:00Great review.

I never saw this as a scientific film - that it's supposed to center on Hawking's accomplishments and his disease - but it's a wonderful film about their relationship.
