Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit (1991)
32KEine kurze Geschichte der Zeit: Directed by Errol Morris. With Isobel Hawking, Stephen Hawking, Janet Humphrey, Mary Hawking. A film about the life and work of the cosmologist, Stephen Hawking, who despite his near total paralysis, was one of the great minds of all time.
“This is a really two documentaries: one about Stephen Hawkingu0026#39;s intellectual evolution and one about his theories. Several people reminisce about Hawking as a child, student, and young scholar. I didnu0026#39;t give this film too many stars because I thought it withheld information from us when it really is all about providing information. One, because the people speaking are not identified until the very end in the credits. It would have helped to be able to know that one was the sister, one the friend, another the aunt, etc. Perhaps we are supposed to figure this out from context, but trying to decipher what they said AND sorting them into categories was hard to do because some clips were rather short. Two, the theoretical explanations were too short; please donu0026#39;t give us just teasers, but delve into the subject matter a bit more.”
