You know I wish they did Hawking biopic in style of how they made one about Shakespeare where he didn't write any of his plays and was in fact illiterate:
It starts in post WW2 Germany where this tall, blonde brilliant young man just finishes college in record time - let's call him Hans. But no one notices it and nobody cares because as a German he is branded a Nazi and his ideas about the universe are looked upon at the same way. So he finds this debilitated stupid young man in England and he decides to enroll him into college by communicating to him the answers to the tests (with devices Hans invented) along with other ingenious ways to make Steve look smart. And as Steve gets sicker it is easier for Hans to put words in his mouth, so by now it's all Hans communicating trough Hawking's speech synthesizer.
I mean what's wrong with that?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
