When it got to the part with Stephen Hawking sprawled out on the stairs looking up at his child behind the stair blocker I had to turn it off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I realize the writers and producers were trying to make a point about just how debilitating and horrible his disease is and just how devoted his wife is, I get that. They just went on a little too long trying to show that. While there may have been something noble in their attempt, they released that movie into a culture where the Squeeze Generation (or as Kiplinger\u2019s calls them \u201cThe Sandwich Generation\u201d) is a growing part of the population.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many of you reading this will be part of The Squeeze Generation. Technically, since I have neither spouse nor children I\u2019m only half a squeeze. For those of you who do not know what the Squeeze Generation is, perhaps there are two of you?, The Squeeze Generation is that generation faced with having to care for elderly parents while trying to provide for those who come after us. Your existence becomes defined by the service provided to both. The Squeeze Generation does not wish to watch a movie which shows in detail a debilitating disease. We see that every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, I applaud his wife. She loved him enough to marry him knowing full well she was being dealt a short and difficult hand. Yes, I applaud how the movie subtly pointed out the complete lack of a wheel chair accessible world we live in. Even something as seemingly insignificant as a door threshold in an otherwise wheel chair accessible building can be an excruciating experience for someone wheel chair bound. Wheel chairs don\u2019t have shock mounted tires like automobiles so even a slight bump is a direct jar to the occupant.<\/p>\n<p>The movie simply spent too much time focusing on the disease and, sadly, I had to eject the disk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the course of this weekend I tried to watch \u201cThe Theory of Everything.\u201d\u00a0 I must stress that I tried to watch it.
