thought it was very good and informative

because honestly, i never really knew anything biographical in a personal sense about stephen hawking- and face it- unless your inclined/blessed with the ability to understand, and i mean truely understand, not simply appreciate as i must, the work of these brilliant individuals, most scientists, theorists etc, kinda just seem to be a non-entity brain sort of organism- just puttering away in some lab behind a chalkboard, not having a "real life" as some would put it.

it must have been terrifying for mr. hawking to be so young, with so "much" to do scientifically and to learn there was nothing so far to be done to reverse his disease...

regardless of whether or not you agree with his views on religion, you must admit he is a profoundly unique and admirable individual :)

Agree. I also thought it was great storytelling.

Gotta say, though, I don't care for the Philip Glass. I think it is a really poor choice for a script that mentions Bach, Mozart, Brahms and Wagner. I think even I could write a better soundtrack. I don't want to watch it again because of the "music".

Music wasn't by Philip Glass, although it was very much of his style, and I thought it was him as well. Composer for Hawking was actually Murray Gold. I rather liked it, but agree Wagner, Mozart or Bach would have been good.

Well said.
