After watching the film discuss the following quote from a film reviewer:
"The film deserves to join the other fine disability dramas like My Left Foot and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, films that show how powerful and noble the human spirit can be when faced with seemingly impossible circumstances. The film does not go into the obscure details of Hawking’s theories that would reconcile quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity, except for three brief scenes, at a meal with a fork and a potato, one set in a pub, and another showing a swirl of cream in a cup of coffee. It is not the science but the human drama of Stephen and Jane that are the center of the film, making for a memorable viewing experience."
What is your view?
How much is the film about Stephen Hawking the scientist and how much about the people around him- especially his wife Jane- without whose support you can wonder what would have happened..
Discuss any scene from the film you especially remember.
After the mid-term break we start on the writing course.
I can recommend the "Writing Skills" chapter
in "English C"-page 88 and onwards..
Have a good holiday. Hope to see you in
week 45
