SCREENING THIS MONTH AT JC'S YOUR HOME PUBLIC LIBRARY

-THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING (April 19) This 2014 biopic on Stephen Hawking is named after his 2004 memoir. The film is interested less in Hawking’s life as a scientist and focuses more on his relationship with his first wife, Jane- from the time they met through the progression of his ALS, which drove him into a wheelchair and diminished his use of his muscles. Today, he is the fascinating human whose brain holds an astounding level of knowledge, but who can only communicate that knowledge using a muscle is his left cheek that he uses to type into the keyboard screen attached to his computer. Even without delving far into his research on cosmology and black holes, the evolution from an able-bodied person to the iconic figure we know today makes for a compelling story. The viewing begins at 6pm.

Your Home Public Library, located at 107 Main St. in Johnson City, hosts regular movie nights and film screenings throughout the year. More info is available at yhpl.org.
