Learn about great men from biography

Suddenly I remembered an animation called Mim I had seen when I was a child. It was about a little Mim who took the protagonist and traveled to the era of every miracle, and understood the life of every scientist. It was a great thing. , Unfortunately I can't find it anymore.

In fact, in the 1970s, there was no shortage of spiritual things in our 70s. There were many good things that left too many good memories, at least in this respect.

The movie itself is a story of Darwin coming out of the pain of bereavement, but it feels a bit intermittent. For example, religion did not use a lot of pen and ink to describe this conflict. In fact, the original intention should be that Darwin was always entangled in the death of his daughter. His own views were condemned by God, and the bit of hatred from his beloved wife.

Growing up in an atmosphere of God’s supremacy, but going to engage in things contrary to one’s beliefs, this kind of point of view deepens, maybe the final harmony of the film will be incomprehensible, then the Darwin we see cannot be an emotional father and husband. But there is, so the film weakens this conflict, and it always gives me a weak feeling.

There is a biography called "Darwin, His Daughter and Evolution". I don’t know if the film has been adapted so far. From the introduction, it should be. For myself, I have read a little Yan Fu’s "Evolution", but it is said that this Things have some political opinions in them and thus deviate a bit from the thesis of "Origin of Species". It is always good to read more books, but if you read each one, you will be lazy and tired. Let's do it later.

  • [from trailer]

    Emma Darwin: Do you not care that you and I may be separated for all eternity?

  • Reverend John Innes: Charles. Charles, my old friend, there you are. May I join you?

    Charles Darwin: Yes. Yes, of course.

    Reverend John Innes: Mrs. Darwin has told me about the book you're writing.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, no, not anymore, thank goodness.

    Reverend John Innes: You mean you finished it?

    Charles Darwin: It's been finished for me, actually. A Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace has arrived independently at exactly the same opinion. Expressed in a... in a mere twenty pages. Now there's brevity for you. I had covered two-hundred-fifty so far and have come to a dead end, so whilst having wasted twenty years on the project, I have at least rid of it.

    Reverend John Innes: Well... Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways.

    Charles Darwin: Hmmm, yes, he does, doesn't he? You know, I was remarking only the other day, how he has endowed us in all of his blessed generosity with not one but nine-hundred species of intestinal worm, each with its own unique method of infiltrated the mucosa and burrowing through to the bloodstream. And on the love that he shows for butterflies by inventing a wasp that lays its eggs inside the living flesh of caterpillars.

    Reverend John Innes: I have said on many previous occasions, it is not for us to speculate at His reasons.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, we can leave that to Mr. Wallace! Shall I advise him to stay abroad, do you think? With his opinions if he shows his face around here, he may be required to kneel on rock salt!
