2. Stephen Hawking
The 2014 movie The Theory of Everything was the first movie to depict Stephen Hawking, since he only just passed away in 2018. In the movie, we see Hawking’s marriage with Jane Wilde as a loving relationship. She helped him get through ALS. Unfortunately, the film brushes Jane’s story off to the side. In real life, she wrote a memoir called Travelling to Infinity. She writes how difficult it was for her to give up her professional career and personal ambitions. By marrying him, she became his caretaker, only to end up being cheated on by Elaine Mason. There were also a lot of rumors that Elaine Mason was nowhere near as good of a caretaker, who neglected and abused Stephen Hawking. While the movie is beautiful in its own way, it really does a disservice to Jane. If you want to know more, we recommend reading Jane’s memoir.
