It’s illegal to download a movie on BT in the United States. The Sea Rabbit Cinema mentioned before can’t stand it at 4 seconds per card, so I searched for a long time, and finally found the movie on Amazon Prime (but next week seems to have to pay honestly). If the sea hare doesn't work well afterwards, you have to keep watching English subtitles.
First of all, let me mention the text. Even though I am very familiar with the importance of his work, I still have not read the original work on Origin of Species, but in this movie, Darwin's writing is indeed very good, his writing skills are very good, and his storytelling ability is also very good. Well, it is an upper-class gentleman who is a descendant of a doctor who graduated from Cambridge (theology department). For example, his use of various advanced adjectives, precise action description, and vivid change of sentence patterns are significantly different from most of the documents we read now. This vivid term benefiting from the five-year experience of the 22-year-old -27-year-old on board the world survey is probably the fire of enlightenment for subsequent biological researchers on the road.
Then comes the filming. To tell the truth, I think the language of the lens is still a bit rough. Sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish the timeline, except for the amount of hair or the obvious light contrast before and after Anni’s death, and I am especially annoyed to reflect Darwin’s unstable mental state. And the deliberate shaking is not a filming scene. Maybe I have a little cold and feel dizzy... But I think I have done a good job of restoring the life and surroundings of the English squire in the 19th century: you can't laugh at the beginning but be serious. The posing of photos, the small study room where he writes and various exhibits, the butler’s greetings and care, etc. Although some historical dramas such as Downton Abbey have been good at restoring historical scenes, I still find it interesting that Darwin sees a doctor for consultation and spa treatments.
The second is about the theme of the film. Songsong said that he felt that the film expressed something but did not get it. What I personally feel is that it was originally about the relationship between a middle-aged couple who lost a daughter. Looking back, the Darwins actually had 10 children in total. They were really able to give birth, but as many as 3 died. The eldest daughter Anni died in 1851, the second daughter lived only 3 weeks, the younger son died in 1858, and he published "Origin of Species" in 1859. It's not easy to be sick by itself, no wonder it took so many years to write. The main story in the film is that he and his wife have gone in different directions that are difficult to intersect because of the departure of their favorite daughter, and in the end they frankly confessed each other's pain and thoughts. At first I saw the orangutan or a monkey and thought it was a bit of a resistance to science and education, but I found that it was not like this. I personally think that this kind of people and relationships that walk forward with entanglement is my favorite theme in film and television literature. , So it looks good.
Maybe let me go a little further in the end. Since childhood, the Natural and Social Sciences Education Association has repeatedly mentioned that Darwin’s works are the most revolutionary treasures of human thought in the 19th century, which greatly challenged traditional Christian theological traditions and subsequently influenced many scientific and social issues including psychology. The notorious ones are probably social Darwinism and eugenics; and unlike these words such as "revolution" and "subversion", Darwin himself is actually a gentle and contradictory person. In the movie, he will comfort the little girl painfully when he sees rabbits being eaten. He would suppress his thoughts because of conflicts with his wife and others, and would be so painful because of his daughter’s death. He clearly recognized the role of the church in cohesive society, and he hesitated when faced with more radical colleagues. Said, this is a society, although he himself finally angered the priest, but Anni's dissatisfaction represented his own reflection. As mentioned above, I like this kind of gentle and contradictory person, rather than pretending to be in the right position and refusing to communicate. Emma's feelings for Charles to his death are extremely complicated. The unpleasant aspect comes from belief and social pressure. Love must be based on the respect and understanding shown at the end of the film.
I am an international student in the United States. I participate in family church activities every Friday, and I go to the home of Big Brother M and Sister W for dinner and Bible study with about 10 students. Although it’s actually hard for me to believe in Jesus for more than a year, I feel that the content of each chapter in the Bible is nothing more than a variety of prophetic repetitions, and the lecturer’s teaching skills are really not good, even they know that we do it every week. Not listening very seriously, but this does not prevent me from willing to go there every week, does not prevent them from willing to greet us with a smile every week, does not prevent us from thinking that Big Brother W and Big Sister M are the kindest people in the world. Differences in ideology, beliefs and beliefs may lead to conflicts, but what makes conflicts dead is to give up trying to understand each other.
